This cleaning solution should be effective against coronavirus. Do not dilute your rubbing alcohol with water since it is easy to make an error and end up with a percentage that would be ineffective!
This cleaner is also effective to use for the novel coronavirus.
You cannot use this cleaner to combat against coronavirus. To use, clean a surface, then spray it with one mixture, let it sit for about 5 minutes, then wipe with a clean cloth and spray with the other. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then wipe with another clean cloth. It does not matter if you start with the vinegar or with the rubbing alcohol.
Vinegar-based disinfectants will not work to disinfect surfaces from viruses, including the novel coronavirus. Lemon essential oil is traditionally used to clean the kitchen, as the lemon scent can neutralize strong kitchen smells. Tea tree and eucalyptus oil are great for neutralizing bathroom odors. You may prefer to use milder smelling essential oils such as chamomile or vanilla in the parts of your houses where you are not worried about eliminating odors. Essential oils can sometimes react with plastic, which is why you should use a glass spray bottle.
These wipes do not disinfect surfaces contaminated with coronavirus. Press down the cloths inside the glass jar so that they are submerged and can soak up the cleaner. Then place the lid on the top of the jar and store the wipes in a cupboard or pantry. To use the wipes, take out a wipe and wring it out to remove excess cleaner, then use it to wipe surfaces clean.
Vinegar and baking soda are not effective against COVID-19. Once cooled, add 4 drops of lemon essential oil or the essential oil of your choice. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lemon pulp, seeds or rind, then transfer the mixture into a spray bottle.
