The good news is that cleaning away coronavirus (which is rather obviously a virus and not bacteria) is pretty straightforward. Simple soap, 70% or higher alcohol or bleach-based cleaners will do the job just fine. But, providing you follow the NHS advice on washing your hands for about 20 seconds (the equivalent of singing Happy birthday twice), then you don't need to use antibacterial soap to help prevent COVID-19.Heat, detergent and good laundry hygiene habits all play a role in killing germs when you’re washing clothes, sheets and other linens. Laundry capsules are single-use capsules, or pods, of liquid laundry detergent concentrate in a dissolvable plastic wrapper. They're designed to be dropped straight into your washing machine. You're more likely to catch something directly from the people around you, especially those coughing and sneezing, or from your hands. Standard washing-up liquids will also kill bacteria, just in the same way hand wash and soap does. So there's no need for a special antibacterial washing-up liquid if you're worried about COVID-19 or salmonella.
