Is regular household disinfectant sufficient for killing pathogens or viruses?
No, household disinfectants are not approved to kill certain pathogens or viruses and we do not recommend using them when full disinfection is important. Q: What can I do to protect myself from H1N1 Infection A: Wash hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizer. Keep your hands away from your face. Cough and sneeze into your arm, not your hand. Keep common surface areas you touch or contact clean and disinfected.
