Recently,i was talking to a friend who thought that because the corona virus is killed by any soap all viruses are killed by any soap so no need of disinfectants and sanitizers.But that’s totally not the truth.
There are two types of viruses.Enveloped viruses and the non-enveloped viruses.Enveloped viruses have an outer membrane which is made of a fatty layer.This fatty layer makes them vulnerable because its easily destroyed by heat,soap and acid.Example of these enveloped viruses include corona virus, influenza virus etc
Non enveloped viruses have a viral capsid made of protein.The protein is resistance to oil loving disinfectants and alcohol.These makes the non enveloped viruses resistance.
When it comes to bacteria the gram positive bacteria are the resistance ones.Then form a spore which coats them preventing them from extreme environmental conditions like heat and some disinfectants.
So when going to the store choose the best detergents to prevent yourself from infections.Hydrogen peroxide has proved to be harsh to bacteria and viruses.so its one of the best if not the best to disinfect contaminated surfaces.
Good hygiene better health
