Inombolo yosuku...kulungile, kungenzeka ukuthi ulahlekelwe yisibalo sokuthi ubhubhane lwe-coronavirus selunesikhathi esingakanani luqhubeka - futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ususondela ngendlela ethusayo phansi kwesiqukathi sakho se-Clorox wipes. Ngakho-ke, ucindezele ukuthi ume isikhashana ku-puzzle yakho (noma enye into entsha yokuzilibazisa) futhi waqala ukuzulazula ukuthola ezinye izixazululo zokuhlanza. (P.S. Nakhu okudingeka ukwazi mayelana noviniga nesitimu mayelana nekhono labo lokubulala amagciwane.)

Yilapho uyibona khona: iphakethe elithembisayo lezisula ezixubile elifakwe ngemuva kwekhabhinethi yakho. Kepha linda, ingabe ama-generic disinfectant wipes ayasebenza ngempumelelo ngokumelene ne-coronavirus? Kuthiwani ngamanye amagciwane namagciwane? Futhi lokho kwehluke kanjani kunesuli se-antibacterial, uma kunjalo?

Nakhu odinga ukukwazi ngezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zokuhlanza izesuli nezindlela ezinhle zokuzisebenzisa, ikakhulukazi uma kukhulunywa nge-COVID-19.

Ukuhlanza, Ukukhipha Amagciwane, kanye Nokuhlanza Konke Kusho Izinto Ezihlukile

Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukuveza ukuthi kunomehluko ocacile phakathi kwamanye amagama ongawasebenzisa ngokushintshana uma kuziwa emikhiqizweni yasendlini. "'Ukuhlanza' kususa ukungcola, imfucumfucu, namanye amagciwane ngenkathi 'ukuhlanza' kanye 'nokubulala amagciwane' kukhuluma ngqo ngamagciwane," kuchaza uDonald W. Schaffner, Ph.D., uprofesa waseRutgers University ocwaninga ngobuningi bokuhlolwa kobungozi obuncane be-microbial ukungcoliswa. "Ukuhlanza" kwehlisa isibalo samagciwane kumazinga aphephile kodwa akuwabulali ngempela, kuyilapho "ukubulala amagciwane" kucela amakhemikhali ukuthi abulale iningi lamagciwane akhona, ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Ukuhlanza nokuhlanzeka yizinto ezimbili okufanele ngabe uzenza njalo ukugcina ikhaya lakho lihlanzekile futhi lingenakho ukungcola, izixwayiso, namagciwane ansuku zonke. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukubulala amagciwane kuyinto okufanele uyenze uma ucabanga ukuthi i-COVID-19 noma elinye igciwane likhona. (Okuhlobene: Ungaligcina Kanjani Ikhaya Lakho Lihlanzekile Futhi Liphilile Uma Uzihlukanisile Ngenxa YeCoronavirus.)

"Izimangalo ezibulala amagciwane zilawulwa yi-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ngoba empeleni zithathwa njengezibulala-zinambuzane," kusho uSchaffner. Manje, ungathuki, kulungile? Impela igama le-p lingaveza izithombe zotshani obugcwele amakhemikhali, kepha empeleni lisho nje "noma iyiphi into noma ingxube yezinto ezihloselwe ukuvimbela, ukubhubhisa, ukuxosha, noma ukunciphisa noma yisiphi isilokazane (kufaka phakathi ama-microorganisms kepha kungafaki lokho okukhona noma kubantu abaphilayo noma izilwane), "ngokwe-EPA. Ukuze sigunyazwe futhi sitholakale ukuze sithengwe, isibulala-magciwane kufanele sihlolwe ngokuqinile elabhorethri okufakazela ukuphepha nokusebenza ngempumelelo futhi okuhlanganisa izithako zaso kanye nokusetshenziswa okuhlosiwe kulebula. Uma usuthole ukukhanya okuluhlaza, umkhiqizo uthola inombolo ethile yokubhalisa ye-EPA, nayo efakwe kulebula.

Ayini Ama-Disinfectant Wipes, Ngokuqondile?

Ngamafuphi nje, lawa angalahlwa, ama-wipes wodwa awasebenzise afakwe kwisisombululo esiqukethe isithako sokubulala amagciwane njenge-quaternary ammonium, i-hydrogen peroxide, ne-sodium hypochlorite. Imikhiqizo embalwa kanye nemikhiqizo okungenzeka uyibonile emashalofini esitolo: I-Lysol Disinfecting Wipes (Buy It, $ 5, target.com), Clorox Disinfecting Wipes (Buy It, $ 6 for 3-pack, target.com), Mr. Clean Power Ama-Wipe we-Multi-Surface Wokubulala Amagciwane.

Ukuthi ama-wipe okukhipha amagciwane noma cha ekugcineni asebenza kangcono kunokusebenzisa isifutho sokubulala amagciwane (okungafaka ezinye izithako ezifanayo) nethawula lephepha alikaze lifundwe, yize uSchaffner ephawula ukuthi cishe ayalingana uma kukhulunywa ngokuvikela amagciwane. Umehluko omkhulu lapha ukuthi ama-wipe we-disinfectant (kanye ne-sprays!) Enzelwe ukuthi asetshenziswe ezindaweni ezinzima, njengama-counters kanye ne-doorknobs, kuphela, hhayi esikhunjeni noma ekudleni (okuningi kulokho okuzayo).

Okunye ukuthatha okubalulekile: ama-wipe we-disinfectant ahlukile kunalawo athathwa njengama-wipes okuzungezile noma wokuhlanza, anjenge-Mrs Meyer's Surface Wipes (Buy It, $ 4, grove.co) noma i-Better Life All-Natural All-Purpose Cleaner Wipes ( Thenga It, $ 7, thrivemarket.com).

Ngakho-ke khumbula ukuthi uma umkhiqizo (usula noma ngenye indlela) ufuna ukuzibiza njengesibulala-magciwane, wona kumele ukwazi ukubulala amagciwane kanye namagciwane ngokusho kwe-EPA. Kepha ingabe lokho kufaka phakathi i-coronavirus? Impendulo kuseyi-TBD, noma ibukeka ingenzeka, kusho uSchaffner. Njengamanje, kunemikhiqizo ecishe ibe ngama-400 ohlwini lwe-EPA lwama-disinfectants abhalisiwe okufanele isetshenziswe ngokumelene ne-coronavirus yenoveli - eminye yayo, empeleni, isula isibulala-magciwane. Nakhu okubanjwayo: "[Iningi] le mikhiqizo ayikahlolwa ngokumelene ne-coronavirus yenoveli i-SARS-CoV-2, kodwa ngenxa yomsebenzi wayo ngokumelene namagciwane ahlobene [kukholakala] ukuthi iyasebenza lapha," kuchaza uSchaffner.

Kodwa-ke, ekuqaleni kukaJulayi, i-EPA yamemezela ukugunyazwa kwayo kwemikhiqizo emibili eyengeziwe - i-Lysol Disinfectant Spray (Buy It, $6, target.com) kanye neLysol Disinfectant Max Cover Mist (Buy It, $6, target.com) - ngemuva kokuhlolwa kwelebhu. ukuthi la magciwane abulala igciwane le-SARS-CoV-2, ikakhulukazi. Le nhlangano ibize ukugunyazwa okubili kweLysol "njengengqophamlando ebalulekile" emzabalazweni wokunqanda ukusabalala kwe-COVID-19.

NgoSepthemba, i-EPA yamemezela ukuvunywa komunye umhlanzi ohlanzwe ukuthi ubulale iSARS-CoV-2: Pine-Sol. Ukuhlolwa kwelebhu yenkampani yangaphandle kukhombise ukusebenza kwePine-Sol ekulweni naleli gciwane ngesikhathi sokuxhumana seminithi eli-10 ezindaweni eziqinile, ezingezwani, ngokusho komshicileli. Abathengisi abaningi sebevele bathengisa ngaphandle kokuhlanza indawo kulandela ukuvunywa yi-EPA, kepha okwamanje, usengathola iPine-Sol e-Amazon ngosayizi abahlukahlukene, kufaka phakathi amabhodlela e-9.5-oz (Thenga It, $ 6, amazon.com), 6 -amaphakethe amabhodlela angu-60-oz (Buy It, $43, amazon.com), namabhodlela angu-100-oz (Buy It, $23, amazon.com), phakathi kwamanye amasayizi.

Ungakuthola Kanjani Okuningi Ngemikhiqizo Yakho

Umehluko omkhulu phakathi kokusebenzisa kwakho lezi zinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zokusula? Isikhathi sokuxhumana - i-akazi ukuthi indawo oyesulayo idinga ukuhlala imanzi isikhathi esingakanani ukuze isebenze kahle, ngokusho kwe-EPA.

Ngaphambi kobhadane lwe-coronavirus, kungenzeka ukuthi wawunephekhi yesula isibulala-magciwane esandleni ukusula ngokushesha ikhawunta yasekhishini, usinki wokugezela, noma indlu yangasese - futhi lokho kulungile impela. Kepha ukuswayipha okushesha phezulu kwendawo kuthathwa njengokuhlanza, hhayi ukubulala amagciwane.

Ukuze uthole izinzuzo zokubulala amagciwane zalezi sula, indawo engaphezulu idinga ukuhlala imanzi isikhathi eside kunamasekhondi ambalwa. Isibonelo, imiyalelo ye-Lysol Disinfecting Wipes ithi indawo engaphezulu idinga ukuhlala imanzi imizuzu emine ngemva kokufaka isicelo ukuze kubulawe amagciwane ngempela endaweni. Lokho kusho ukuthi, ukuze usebenze ngokugcwele, kuzodingeka ukuthi usule ikhawunta bese ungadinga nokusebenzisa enye indwangu uma ubona ukuthi indawo isiqala ukoma ngaphambi kokuba leyo mizuzu emine iphele, kusho uSchaffner.

Imiyalo yezinto eziningi zokusula izibulala-magciwane iphinde ithi ukugeza noma iyiphi indawo engase ithinte ukudla ngamanzi ngemva kwalokho. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu uma usebenzisa lezi ekhishini lakho, njengoba kusho ukuthi kungase kube khona izinsalela zesibulala-magciwane ezisele ongafuni ukungena ekudleni kwakho, kusho uSchaffner. (Naphezu kwalokho okungenzeka ukuthi noma ubani ushilo esihlokweni, UNGALINGE udle izibulala-magciwane - noma uzisebenzise ezitolo zakho - ngakho-ke kungcono kakhulu ukugeza indawo kahle ngaphambi kokuba uqale ukupheka isidlo sakusihlwa.)

Kuzwakala sengathi unendawo encane yokwenza iphutha lapha, akunjalo? Nokho, izindaba ezinhle: ukudlula inqubo yokubulala amagciwane akudingekile ngaso sonke isikhathi. Uma umndeni wakho ungenalo icala elisolwayo noma eliqinisekisiwe le-COVID-19 noma othile engaguli ngokujwayelekile, "lezi zinyathelo eziqinile azidingeki, futhi ungaqhubeka nokuhlanza indlu yakho ngendlela ojwayele ukwenza ngayo," kusho uSchaffner. . Noma yiluphi uhlobo lwesihlanzi sesifutho sezinhloso eziningi, izinto zokuhlanza, noma insipho namanzi zizokwenza iqhinga, ngakho-ke asikho isidingo sokucindezeleka ngokuthola lawo ma-Clorox Disinfecting Wipes afiselekayo. (Uma umndeni wakho unecala le-COVID-19, nansi indlela yokunakekela umuntu one-coronavirus.)

Kuthiwani Ngokusulwa Kwama-antibacterial?

Ngokuvamile, izinto zokusula ezibulala amagciwane zisetshenziswa ezindaweni eziqinile futhi okokusula okulwa namagciwane (njengama-Wet Ones) okokuhlanza isikhumba sakho. Izithako ezisebenzayo kulokhu zifaka i-benzethonium chloride, i-benzalkonium chloride, notshwala. Ama-antibacterial wipes, kanye nezinsipho zokulwa namagciwane kanye nezindlela zokuhlanza izandla, zilawulwa yi-Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ngoba zihlukaniswa njengesidakamizwa, kuchaza uSchaffner. Njenge-EPA, i-FDA nayo iqinisekisa ukuthi umkhiqizo uphephile futhi uyasebenza ngaphambi kokuwuvumela ungene emakethe.

Mayelana ne-COVID-19? Yebo, ijaji liphumile ukuthi ukusula ama-antibacterial noma insipho yesandla elwa namagciwane kuyasebenza yini ngokumelene ne-coronavirus. "Umkhiqizo othi une-antibacterial kusho kuphela ukuthi uhlolelwe amagciwane. Kungenzeka noma ungasebenzi ngokumelene namagciwane," kusho uSchaffner.

Uma sekushiwo, ukugeza izandla ngensipho ne-H20 kusathathwa njengenye yezindlela ezinhle kakhulu zokuvikela i-COVID-19, ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control (CDC). (Kunconywa i-sanitizer yesandla enamaphesenti angama-60 otshwala uma ukugeza izandla kungeyona inketho; ama-antibacterial wipes, okwamanje awafakiwe kuzincomo ze-CDC.) esikhumbeni sakho (izithako zinokhahlo kakhulu), ngokombono [futhi] uma ubugalelekile, usebenzise into yokusula elwa namagciwane endaweni eqinile, kusho uSchaffner. Noma kunjalo, kungcono ukuthi ulondolozele ukuzisebenzisela wena, uyanezela, futhi uthembele kusepha endala namanzi noma, uma kunesidingo, isibulala-magciwane esiqinisekiswe yi-EPA ngezinjongo zasendlini.

"Khumbula ukuthi ubungozi bakho obukhulu bokuthola i-COVID-19 ukuxhumana nomuntu onaleli gciwane," kusho uSchaffner. Kungakho-ke, ngaphandle kwalapho kunesimo esiqinisekisiwe noma esisolwayo se-coronavirus ekhaya lakho, ukuzijwayeza ukuziqhelanisa nomphakathi nenhlanzeko yomuntu siqu (ukugeza izandla, ukungathinti ubuso bakho, ukugqoka imaski esidlangalaleni) kubaluleke kakhulu kunalokho okusebenzisayo ukusula zokubala.
