If a towel or handkerchief falls on an infected corona virus surface, does it become safe to use after washing in washing machine with a detergent? Does it become Coronavirus free and there is no risk in using it to wipe our face or hands?

Hi.. As per researches conducted Corona virus can stay or survive on clothes for 2 days.pls make sure that you use soap or detergent and then disinfectant (like dettol) for washing. Use mild hot water for washing as temperature can reduce the chance of survival rate of virus . Make sure you sanitise your hands after the procedure.

After Proper wash with any detergent and disinfectant( Dettol), you can re use it. Put any infected garment in Dettol water or any disinfectant. Bt the problem is when you take it from any infected area you hand become infected so always take precautions before touching any suspected area.
