Virus on surfaces

Thanks to everyone who replied to this. I feel I'm becoming OCD about this and it's taking ages to get things actually into the flat. They stay at the bottom of the stairs for a day, then on the upper landing for another day or so. Perishables get thoroughly washed in soapy water, rinsed and dried before putting away. Then I wash my rubber gloves while still on and then my hands. Somethings do present problems though - I'm currently faced with a cling film wrapped cucumber - Wash the cling film, remove it, then wash the cucumber - I don't even like cucumber that much but it came in my veggie box.

Nope not OCD - just sensible.

I love cucumber and the store that I have deliveries from - had run out. 😟

Embrace it...it is a long process if you get a grocery delivery but you are being sensible.

A lot of the hands and cleaning steering wheels etc I have done for years so just feel like you are all catching up! But my hands are protesting which means I must be washing them more than usual.

My hands are showing the signs too; last online delivery I had substituted foot cream for hand cream so will have to start using that.

It's often better as feet get really rough! I have a few foot creams that I will use if my doublebase runs out.
