People do gob on the pavements, others can tread in it, bringing it back inside.

And what's the point --- is there evidence that the virus is lying around in huge quantities on pavements and people are licking their floors when they get home?Gfamily wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 3:30 pmCan't remember whether this was posted here yesterday ...Opti wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 3:26 pmWent for a shop in our local town, San Luis de Sabanillas. Got stopped by Guardia Civil, that was fine, all my papers were in order. All the streets were being sprayed with a bleach solution. I mean all. Prolly preparing for first stage of unlockdown here this weekend.
Now we'll see how compliant people are. It's been good so far, but I gotta say, I'm worried about an influx of 'outsiders'. We've been relatively untouched here. Now, we're getting our gates bleached.

Possibly, but do we think it's very likely that there has been one case of coronavirus transmitted this way? And how much bleach would you need per gob-load of phlegm?Brightonian wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 5:23 pmPeople do gob on the pavements, others can tread in it, bringing it back inside.

What is the best way to clean my reusable masks. I am assuming boiling should be enough - is that right?
Re: Coronavirus: a cleaning/disinfecting thread
Detergent and water. Or pin it to your washing line and them time and UV rays do the job.TheScientificHippy wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 5:35 pmWhat is the best way to clean my reusable masks. I am assuming boiling should be enough - is that right?
Re: Coronavirus: a cleaning/disinfecting thread
I've read something in a French newspaper along the lines of:
- put them in the washing machine at 60°C (with towels, ...). Use your normal washing powder(or liquid), but don't add a softener or an additional detergent (apparently to avoid breathing some products that may remain in the fabric).
- if you have a dryer, use it. If not, you can iron them.

Great. Thanks. The ironing thing is really useful. Not sure I want bought enough to justify the washing machine each time so will combine boiling water, hand wash with detergent and ironing. Or buy some more.
