saw this on consumer reports - hadn’t heard or read that before, so while it sounds logical, is it legit? obviously, a more thorough washing would be more effective, but i’m surprised not to have heard the “sticky stuff” or “drown the towel in soapy water” part before
Soap and Water
Just the friction from scrubbing with soap and water can break the coronavirus’s protective envelope. “### Scrub like you’ve got sticky stuff on the surface and you really need to get it off,” says Richard Sachleben, an organic chemist and member of the American Chemical Society. ### Discard the towel or leave it in a bowl of soapy water for a while to destroy any virus particles that may have survived.
