Wiping packages

[Gracei]

Since Coronavirus does anyone wipe down their grocery and delivery packages, if so what with

There have been so many threads like this you could look at them. No I dont wipe dwn grocery packaging. I throw away the outer plastic and wash my hands

Ok I’m new to this do didn’t realise I could look for them

Hi op
Yes I do. I washing them down with bacteria wipes or spray. With my fruit and veg I wash them in warm soapy water.

Yes, mild bleach solution for shopping and I dont open the mail for 3 days.

No, I don't wipe or quarantine anything.

No I can’t allow my mind to think like that.

I don’t either- where do you draw the line with this sort of thing?

You only need to wipe packages and deliveries down if you are or you live with someone in the vulnerable groups. Those people should have at some point been advised to do that and more.

Otherwise throw away outer package, wash your hands and keep to other good basic hygiene measures.

I do what I do because I have vulnerable children. However before coronavirus I still washed and wiped things down, because I don't no if people coughed or sneezed on the things I pick up. Some people are different but OP do what you want to do. Don't let anyone change your mind

Nope.

Yes, quarantine or wash down/wipe with antibacterial wipes or spray. Wash veg in washing up liquid and rinse

I don't.

I wash down everything with soapy water. DD and DH are vulnerable so I take no unnecessary risks however slight.

No I don't wipe anything down nor do I quarantine anything.

No I don’t can’t imagine my foodie husbands face if I stuck his fresh veg in soapy washing up water

Yes I should have said, we are a shielded family

Nope I don’t wipe down shopping items or delivery packages. I use hand gel as soon as I’m out of the supermarket and then wash my hands when I get home. I wash fruit and veg that does not come in packaging (but I did this before coronavirus).

I don’t allow myself to become to obsessive about it. A) I don’t have the time to clean everything with 2 small DCs and b) It would not be healthy for me mentally to be worried at that level.
However, if you are in the vulnerable/shielding category then it might make you feel more protected by cleaning everything.

Nope nothing.
I try and wash my hands frequently and not touch my face.

Yes, everything possible to wash or wipe down with soapy water gets that treatment. Anything not able to have its outer wrapping discarded or wiped gets put into 'quarantine' for several days.

No. Nothing. Waste of time and energy. No evidence. CBA.

No!! I did at the outset but there’s no evidence of it being effective

No never have, know others who are washing / wiping down all items from the supermarket though.

No food packaging washing or quarantine here - just hand washing.

Absolutely not. Madness

No, nothing. I was surprised reading one of the other threads just how many people were washing, wiping, or quarantining groceries.
