Anti bacterial sprays. Did you know?

Washing up liquid and hot water in our house too, although I do use the steam cleaner for tiled floors and sometime the backsplash.

When we had workmen in the house during lock down I got some Dettol spray and used it on door knobs and some other bits at the end of the day.

Shelflife do take care where you are spraying bleach solution in someone else's property - if you get it on carpets it could stain, and some surfaces like gloss paint could be harmed. You could end up with a bill for correcting it. I think you should be fine, but if you're really concerned why not just take some Dettol clothes to wipe down the door handles, taps, etc and give the work surfaces a good wash down with washing up liquid. Open the windows and get some fresh air through - they should have done that anyway.

Newatthis you do realise that Bicarb and Vinegar are chemicals?

I heard a bacteriologist saying that he had tried to talk his wife out of using antibacterial sprays because she was killing all the good bacteria. He said he hadn't been able to convince her, but it doesn't matter because she wipes the surfaces as soon as she has sprayed them and he hasn't told her they won't work if she doesn't leave them to dry.

I just make up my own spray with a concentrated disinfectant and I knew to leave it for 4 minutes...seems it may not have been worth my while if it has to be left for 5

Deedaa that sounds like a happy marriage.

Nanna8 as an alternative to bleach try a drop of table salt in a damp cup and massage it around with your fingers. Has worked wonderfully for me for years. Neither stain nor aftertaste remains.
