Hand Wipes

[Dustparticle]

I know Hand wipes are good but, here far should we goo with this. Now. we are wiping the Hall with this. If I'm right, the way I understood last night, I think we are going overboard with this and correct me if I'm wrong with this.

 

1. Each sheet of Hand Wipe is soaked with Lysol and can wipe several arms of chairs and I guest. Last night some wipe 5 or 10 chairs, yet the hand wipe was still soaked with Lysol. Yet, I wiped about 40 chairs and the sheet began to run dry. So, how far should we go with this? Plus, I thought there are spreading of more germs just sitting on the chair and not wiping it off.

 

2. I don't know about how much germs, and yes we are wiping the germs away by using Hand Wipes. But I thought about how much bacteria is involved here too. If we using Hand Wipes to wipe the chairs and hand nobs all the time, then are are going overboard with this?

 

3. Plus, if the virus comes to your area, are Hand Wipes going to stop this?

 

4. Any thought on this? Especially, on how much bacteria and germs are aloud to be around.

The wipes will clean the surfaces that most people touch - they can't really be "too clean". The letter we had said we should clean before and after the meetings. So, no, I do not think we are going overboard by cleaning - however, some could be "wasteful" if they discard the wipes before they are "used to the full" without "over using" the wipe.

 

It would probably be best to wear cloves while cleaning - like the nitrile ones. 

 

My personal opinion is, wearing the nitrile gloves while in public places like stores, airports and the like will be better protection than wearing a face mask since this virus is NOT airborne.

There is a method to remove contaminated gloves. I was taught to pinch the first glove in the palm, this method pinches the first glove near the wrist.

 

A How-To Guide for the Removal (Doffing) of Disposable Gloves:

Pinch and hold the outside of the glove near the wrist area.

Peel downwards, away from the wrist, turning the glove inside out.

Pull the glove away until it is removed from the hand and hold the inside-out glove with the gloved hand.

With your un-gloved hand, slide your finger/s under the wrist of the remaining glove, taking care not to touch the outside of the glove.

Again, peel downwards, away from the wrist, turning the glove inside out.

Continue to pull the glove down and over the inside-out glove being held in your gloved hand.

This will ensure that both gloves are inside out, one glove enveloped inside the other, with no contaminant on the bare hands.

Something to think about.... Unless you wore gloves soaked in alcohol or Lysol they would be no better IMHO because the glove would transfer the virus to your face just as easy as no glove. Not easy to train yourself to not touch your face.

That would certainly help to keep infected people away from you as well as everyone else.

I have never understood how I get fingerprints all over my glasses. I don't let anybody touch my glasses.

yes ive been very aware of how many times I touch my face esp if i get hayfever. I'm very surprised. 

 

Gloves are good for a specific job - not long term use - and as Richard said if removed properly as well.

I don't have many gloves and no masks as we aren't able to get them where we are. Or are in bulk amounts we can't afford.

If your KH is old enough to incorporate varnish finishes you will find wiping them down with anything containing alchohol witll slowly remove the finish. Ours are still suffering from the last campaign to wipe down all armrests after the meetings. It is also very obvious around the door handles on our natural finished doors. I do not know the type of varnished used, it stands up well except for the wipedown. We have been using Lysol Disinfectant Wipes. Is there a disinfectant wipe that will not have this effect?

[Ahuvah]

I have a UV wand im using on surfaces 

[Miss Bea]

This I know. Do not spray that bottled bleach spray directly on your hands. My hands still stink like bleach!

In reality, I have a little spray bottle full of, I think, 93% alcohol. I just spray it on my hands, and I rub them together. No need to dry them. I used it out in service yesterday. Actually, cause I petted a stinky dog! 

[Tortuga]

I splash a little rum on my hands while sipping...😄

Works great for stopping you from getting colds and the flu too. People will avoid you like the Plague 🤢

What a waste of rum. 😭

According to experts, the straight alcohol will dry out your skin. Mix with some Aloe Vera gel   no less than 60% alcohol for mix.

You can use strong vinegar water ( 1:1 ) and peroxide in 2 different bottles. Spray one then the other - order doesn't matter.

 

Ozone generators  help too but if you can smell a strong or chlorine odor then it is too high a setting. Best to run when nobody around and on a timer.

They are not 100% sure of that now. Several have come down with virus with no know vector on how they caught it.

https://waterandhealth.org/disinfect/cleaning-vs-disinfecting-whats-difference/

disinfecting - A quick home-made disinfectant can be prepared by adding one-half tablespoon of ordinary household bleach to one-half gallon of plain water. Apply the solution to the (cleaned, dry) surface and let air dry. That’s it! No rinsing is required .

 You've probably saw the Chinese spraying down everything and then someone behind them with an air blower speeding up the drying process, we're not going to do that inside but wetting the surfaces and letting it air dry is the proper way of disinfecting, not trying to get it wet then immediately hand drying, why? It takes at least some time for the solution to kill the bacteria, if your wetting a surface then rubbing dry, your just spreading the germs around.The directions on Control 3 a disinfectant/germicide that is used in hospitals says: Apply solution to hard surfaces with cloth, mop, sponge, or sprayer. Allow surfaces to remain wet for 10 minutes, then allow to air dry!

Question, how  have you been told to disinfect ? I wasn't at our meeting last night  we listened in however clean up was done after, just curious.

[Qapla]

The instructions we received told us to wipe down all hard surfaces with a sanitized wipe - there was not mention of drying.

 

We had a Brother handing out the wipes and all surfaces were cleaned in fast order - no one dried anything.

[Old]

Drying is not reccomended. It take a bit for any disinfectant to work.

1 guest? How do you choose the lucky nominated individual to wipe down?! 😂

 Good point!!! The problem is friends are interpreting differently.

My understanding is that it is airborne, according to the reports I've read. Nightmare scenario : a virus that acts more like hiv than the flu virus in the way it infects the cells, but airborne. It's not a contact only problem.

I read that also..WHO reported this back in the middle of February..This Thailand online news is enlightening..GI involvement, nervous system including brain..mutation of the virus..we really need to use caution..We are told not to where a mask..hmmm..but health care workers should..not talking about non-protecting masks, but the ones that do protect. How can Jehovah's people cope and not be scared? Answer is..trust Jehovah..pray about it..follow Branch advice in our area; use common sense. Be diligent in study, Bible reading, witnessing according to Branch instructions..keep focused on the Kingdom..encourage others by text or phone.
