Bleach, Alcohol, Lysol: Effective COVID-19 Fighters - Use Safely
Bleach, alcohol-based solutions, and specific Lysol products are effective in fighting SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19. Here's how to use them safely and responsibly.
A mixture of 1 cup bleach with 5 gallons of water or 4 teaspoons with 1 quart of water can disinfect surfaces. However, bleach should not be used on skin or injected, and it should air-dry for 10 minutes before wiping.
Alcohol-containing solutions of at least 60 percent proof are also effective. Lysol Disinfectant Spray and Lysol Disinfectant Max Cover Mist kill over 99 percent of the virus within 2 minutes. These products, along with bleach, are approved by the EPA to combat SARS-CoV-2.
Experts recommend using approved disinfectants, including alcohol-based solutions with at least 70% ethanol or isopropanol, hydrogen peroxide products, and EPA-registered disinfectants listed for coronavirus. Purchasing only what is needed ensures everyone can access these essential products.
Bleach, alcohol-based solutions, and specific Lysol products are proven to fight SARS-CoV-2 effectively. Always follow safety guidelines when using these products and consider the needs of others when purchasing.
