Covid cleaning interior
Does anyone have suggestions for this?
can't use 75% ethyl alcohol on leather and delicate surfaces; benzylkonium (which is used mainly in non-alc wipes) is not as reliably effective cf alcohol. Dealer a bit coy about their "disinfectant service" - for $200!!!! |

My work involves leather surfaces, is there a way I can clean and disinfect them without damaging the leather?
Leather should be wiped down with water and a damp cloth, to remove dirt and contamination. Once dry, it should be cleaned with a dedicated leather cleaner. Disinfection of leather is difficult as it cannot tolerate harsh chemicals. Keeping leather surfaces clean and well maintained is the best way to reduce infection risk. If the leather has been in contact with a known or suspected case of COVID-19, consider isolating it from people for 72 hours to allow the virus to inactivate naturally. https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au...g_the_leather? |

Just leave the car under sunshine for a day.
Temperature inside car in Australia summer usually exceed 50 degrees easily. 20-30 min will be enough to kill Covid virus. Leave car under sun for a whole day is far more enough. If still concern some hidden spots, can consider to use UV light for 5 minutes, just protect yourself not directly expose to UV and O3. |

Digging around a bit, the WHO officially says 3min at 75C, 5 min at 65C and 20 min at 60C for effective killing. Wonder how hot it gets inside the car |
