Safe Grocery cleaning

What a huge pain in the tukus.


I suppose the whole video is worthwhile, but I'm jumping to the part that's most important.   Starts at 10:35

Jesus. I thought I was being safe by only getting grocery delivery and not leaving the house. Now I have to worry about this?

What about food prepared by restaurants? I thought we were supposed to support local businesses?

I think he is just going with "best practices".  IMO, if you're truly worried about delivered food, you should try to buy food that you can microwave up to temp.  And that is after transferring it to a plate and disposing of the container.

I am being overly cautious, and after shopping, I leave what I can in the garage overnight.  Same with mail and packages... I know it is a little crazy, but I don't need most of those things the second I buy them.

Co-sign on the leaving groceries in the garage.

I'm also interested in .. UV Light disinfecting.   

$350 gets you a big lamp:

Be careful with UV-C. That crap can mess up your skin as well as degrade many different types of materials.

Admittedly, I'm a big UV fan ..  I ordered a hand-held device two weeks ago, arrives Monday.

But ~8 years ago, I installed a UV light in my furnace.  It was like $100 .. installation took maybe 15 minutes, drill a hole, screw it in.  I change the bulb every year.

A few years ago, my wife started teaching grade-school.. we were buying supplies when I saw an air-filter w/UV bulb and bought it for her classroom.   It probably doesn't move enough air for that purpose .. I always thought it'd be smart to have one in each corner of the room, blasting air.  -- I wonder if I'll get my wish in future classrooms.

Absolutely true.  I have glasses for it, and plan to run it 15 min at a time in an empty office or vehicle.  Its impossible to wipe every inch of everything down every day, and this should help.  Of course, in moderation.
