COVID:How to Disinfect Door Handles With White Vinegar.

Thanks to its acidity, white vinegar is an effective disinfectant.

It can clean everything in the house including the Coronavirus which is fragile when it is in the open air.

According to Dr. Damien Mascret, "white vinegar is effective against COVID-19 because it destroys the lipid layer of the virus, which is the fatty layer that surrounds viruses".

The acetic acid in vinegar also naturally kills germs on all surfaces and doorknobs at home.

Essential oils also help to reinforce the disinfectant power of white vinegar.

Know that if you don't have white vinegar at home, you can also use soapy water or diluted bleach.

Indeed, as the government website on the coronavirus reminds us, bleach is even more effective in eliminating viruses.

On FranceInfo, the Director General of Health explains that bleach is " a virucide , which is not the case with white vinegar.

Although there are other detergents that are effective disinfectants, we might as well recommend bleach, which is known to all" .

That is, bleach kills viruses, including COVID-19.

For total disinfection, bleach is 100% effective.
