And is that the specialist also points out that there are surfaces, such as metal, where the virus can live up to 48 hours, hence the importance of the pantry being rigorously cleaned, since in some materials such as cardboard, COVID -19 could stay for up to 72 hours.
The ideal is to take a cloth, wet it with the previously prepared solution and pass it through each of the products repeatedly, until we make sure that the entire surface has been disinfected . For example, products that come wrapped in plastic should be emptied and placed in aluminum.
