[PLUG-TALK] Making sterile wipes

[Denis Heidtmann]

Questions my searching has trouble answering:
What is the difference between Simple Green D 3, 5, 3+,etc?
SGD is specified for smooth surfaces.  How/what to use on cardboard?
Lettuce?
I saw an article which indicated the virus was virulent for 24-48 hrs on
cardboard. Will spraying the surface with isopropyl help?

We need to prepare a list of material and action which can be disseminated
to augment your ideas for wipes.
