Some can be treated if the label allows it, and washable items can be laundered. Heavily soiled or soaked items, especially ones with body fluids, are often removed and disposed of.
Washing hands with soap and water is widely taught as the single most effective step. In a contaminated space, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with protective gear and the right product adds to it.
Clean the surface first, then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus. Follow the label for contact time and any rinse step. Different surfaces, such as wood, fabric and electronics, need different products.
Alcohol-based products can inactivate the virus when the alcohol content is high enough and the surface stays wet long enough. Many professional crews use EPA-registered disinfectants because the label shows the proven contact time and surfaces it is safe for.
Renters policies often cover a tenant's belongings but not the building. A landlord's or business policy may cover the space. Lease and local law decide who pays between a landlord and a tenant. Employers and property managers often pay after an outbreak.
Hand sanitizer is meant for skin, not for disinfecting surfaces. It may evaporate before the needed contact time and can damage some finishes. Use an EPA-registered surface disinfectant for counters, door handles and furniture.
