Best ways to sanitize Durable Documents
SOAP & WATER
It’s not fancy, but soap and water work. The soap removes the viral particles that have attached themselves to surfaces — whether it’s your hands or other items — and suspends them in the water, so they can be washed away.
BLEACH
Here’s the CDC formula for making a diluted bleach solution: Use 5 tablespoons
(1/3 cup) of bleach in one gallon of water or 4 teaspoons of bleach in one quart of water. A spray bottle can be used to apply to the surface of many items. Let air dry.
Keep in mind that bleach is a harsh cleaner. So if you go this route, do a little test before you clean an entire surface with your bleach solution. Be careful not to let it splash onto anything else.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Hydrogen peroxide is not as strong as bleach, so it’s less likely to cause damage, but it can discolor some fabrics. Don’t dilute it, use it straight. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen.
ALCOHOL
Rubbing alcohol products that are at least 70 percent alcohol will kill the Coronavirus with less potential for damage than bleach. When using rubbing alcohol, don’t dilute it.
PROPER TECHNIQUE: A QUICK SWIPE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
To decontaminate a surface, you can’t just swipe it, you’ve got to wet the entire surface and then let it dry on its own. The antiseptic agent is the additional measure of security that any virus left behind will be killed. It’s critically important to use enough of the disinfectant and give it time to work. Here’s how Clorox says to disinfect hard, nonporous surfaces with its wipes:
“Use enough wipes for treated surface to remain visibly wet for 4 minutes. Let surface dry.”
HIGHER STRENGTH SANITIZING AGENTS:
Other sanitizing agents may be used in critical areas. We recommend testing the printed surface against stronger chemicals prior to use. We can test for you or provide samples for testing.
