"No if you do and have been to the shop don't you think you would have already handled anything that was affected, crazy! " Yes I do. Hence why I clean it afterwards and wash my hands. | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
"No, however I rinse the packaging in hot water before recycling it." Second nature washing hands before preping food. | |||
| |||
 | |||
"No, I just wash my hands after touching it..." Same here. | |||
 | |||
"No. Don’t be ridiculous. And no hand sanitiser either, just soap and water, not even singing Happy Birthday. And I’m still alive after all this risk-taking. I’m edgy, me. " Same here | |||

"Yes Think how many people have been touching it... Just wash your hands makes no sense... the packaging you've just put in your cupboard and fridge are contaminated. And so will your hands be when you touch it again. " The virus dies on packaging. Regular hand washing really is sufficient. | |||
"Yes Think how many people have been touching it... Just wash your hands makes no sense... the packaging you've just put in your cupboard and fridge are contaminated. And so will your hands be when you touch it again. The virus dies on packaging. Regular hand washing really is sufficient." Remains on plastic for 3 days. Cardboard 1 day. Studies have shown. | |||

" I've not seen the figures on plastic but cardboard is actually 3 days which is a big problem? And any extra care can't be a bad thing under current circumstances? | |||

"For those of you who do clean groceries and parcels,what do you actually use to clean them?x" I've been using a cloth which I dipped in bleach and some things I wash under the tap with soap or whatever else I can get my hands on. Somtimes I spray them with Dettol spray and whipe them over. I also spray my hands with Dettol before and after going into the shop. It dries very quickly. | |||

"Absolutely, you have no idea how many people have had contact with the things you're bringing into your house. Quick anti viral wipe it takes no time at all. "it would take me ages to do all my shopping. I've been shopping daily for most of this time and it would have been a pain. I wash my hands once I'm home and again once I've put stuff away. I use hand gel while out and about. I heard some people get stripped off and put their clothes in the wash after shopping to. | |||

I heard some people get stripped off and put their clothes in the wash after shopping to. "This was through advice given out towards the begging of the lockdown. A bit extreme i thought but, But I did spray my shoes with a surface cleaner. | |||

"I clean baskets and trolleys myself. Then my hands before I drive. Parcels stay in porch for 48hrs. Unpack ahopping from bags in porch after taking shoes off and washing hands. Clothes in washer then final handwash. Every time. Same with going to bin. Pretty much what I do My nails are shot. But hands are clean. " | |||

"Interesting reading which lead me to read more on studies and reports. We did our main shop just before lockdown and only been ‘topping up’ stuff So it’s not a major issue and not too concerned. Washing hands is just normal, same with washing hands/food when preparing dinner, before cooking or eating without cooking. We haven’t been leaving the house much either which suits me just fine. One read I did on clothes made me laugh so thought I’d share: If you suspect contamination, take off your clothes as soon you can after the exposure. If the exposure occurred in a grocery store, do not do this immediately, as this may cause additional problems. Instead, wait until you are actually in a position to legally take off your clothes, such as when you reach your home." | |||

"Nope, just wash my hands whenever I've touched packaging. " Likewise | |||
"Do you also wash ya change /notes ...dirty money ....or when u push in ya number on card machine dirty dirty dirty...." Don't use cash. And hand sanitizer after pressing my number... | |||

"Do you also wash ya change /notes ...dirty money ....or when u push in ya number on card machine dirty dirty dirty.... Don't use cash. And hand sanitizer after pressing my number..." You never, ever use cash? | |||
"Do you also wash ya change /notes ...dirty money ....or when u push in ya number on card machine dirty dirty dirty.... Don't use cash. And hand sanitizer after pressing my number... You never, ever use cash? " Only time I really use cash, and I end up scrambling around for it is to pay for parking and in the chip shop. But I haven't used either since this kicked off. | |||

" I still have the same cash in my purse as I did pre-lockdown. With regards to packaging, that gets wiped and the carrier bags washed in bleached. My parents are shielded so I'd rather be cautious at this time. | |||
"Nope and I don't meticulously wash the fruit I've chosen in the supermarket either. Apples, as always get a quick shine on my jeans. I don't wipe down the trolley handle, I don't antibac my hands after the goods have trundled along the conveyor belt and handled by the germ ridden gloved hands of the cashier and my food goes in the cupboard. I just wash my hands when I get in and wash my hands before eating, as I always did! "Yep just the same here | |||
