How do you sanitise your shopping?

[Lottiebugz22]

Do you wash your tins with soap for 20 seconds? What do you do about bread in paper or meat or plastic cartons? And what about fresh fruit and vegetables?

Spray with Dettol or dunk in Milton. Dunk eggs in soapy water and ditch the cartons

Erm, we don't!

I don't - just unpack it and wash hands and door handles afterwards.

We just dispose of bags, put food away and wash hands. And just rinse fruit and veg as normal. I'm comfortable the level of risk involved is very small.

We don't either. Wash hands afterwards and wash fruit and veg as normal.

I’m more in need of sanitising myself at the moment. But my sanitising spray doesn’t seem to be helping.

We don’t either

Anything that doesn't require freezing or chilling gets to stay in a safe place untouched for 72 hours.

Anything that can be transferred to clean bags is transferred. For example bread, and the outer bag is binned.

Fruit and veg is washed.

Eggs are washed and transferred to a clean egg carton (older than 72 hours)

Milk cartons are wiped down.
Meat is either transferred to clean containers or container wiped down with appropriate cleaner and left to dry.

Multipacks are opened and contents tipped out, then outer is disposed of.

We have highly vulnerable in our house and this is necessary.

It's quite quick to do now, the first few times took more thinking about.

I don't.

I don't. Can't take the risk of a relapse of my OCD.

Nope. Hand washing here. Washing your food is a step too far. And exceptionally wasteful to repackage everything

Unpack bags, wash hands, leave bags outside in the shed.

Remind family to wash hands every so often, even when in the house.

I am hiding the good chocolate in a secure biscuit tin location for the safety of the family, just in case it's harbouring dangerous bacteria.

We don't. It's unnecessary.

I'm not. I wash my hands thoroughly before I go and I wash my hands thoroughly when I get back.

We don't.

Wipe everything thoroughly with dettol wipes. Discard as much outer packaging as possible.

I wash things that can take a washing, remove packaging (don't seem this as wasteful, I take bread from its wrapper into a large Tupperware, some things into a plastic freezer bag but I will be reusing the bag). Tins - I've wiped those but I must say I'm pouring my cans of coke etc into a glass rather than drinking from the can as I would usually do. Although I will wash my hands thoroughly I cannot guarantee the children will do so every time they touch something in the cupboard, so I would rather the stuff was clean. I leave some in the car for three days.
It's not easy to know what is important and what not, but it's not like I don't have time on my hands just now.

I don’t.

Aderyn19 I’m not sure if you’re serious or not but if you are serious you should not be washing your eggs in soapy water. The shells are permeable. If you really insist on washing them rinse them under water just before cooking.

I dont. Wash hands after unpacking and when using the product

Is this actually recommended by scientists anywhere? I have OCD tendencies and think if I started could become a whole complicated ritual.

I don't. People are getting far too paranoid about this. The virus isn't the only thing that's contagious.

I don't and think that especially using wipes to do so is quite wasteful, a soapy cloth would do the same

I wash it in hot soapy washing up liquid in the sink, and throw away cardboard packaging.

I don't.
