If you can't buy hand sanitizer or Clorox wipes, a number of cleaning products you probably have around the house already, and that stores are more likely to have in stock, are effective in deactivating the novel coronavirus.
Soap and Water
Just the friction from scrubbing with soap (any kind of soap) and water can break the coronavirus's protective envelope.
Bleach
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend a diluted bleach solution (⅓ cup bleach per 1 gallon of water, or 4 teaspoons bleach per 1 quart of water) for virus disinfection. Wear gloves while using bleach, and never mix it with ammonia—or anything, in fact—except water.
Isopropyl Alcohol
Alcohol solutions with at least 70 percent of alcohol are effective against the coronavirus on hard surfaces.
Hydrogen Peroxide
According to the CDC, household (3 percent) hydrogen peroxide is effective in deactivating rhinovirus, the virus that causes the common cold, within 6 to 8 minutes of exposure.
