Equipment
• Check instructions for proper cleaning procedures
• Wear disposable clean gloves
• If soiled, first clean surfaces with approved cleaner (soap and water, for example)
• Diluted bleach or at least 70% isopropyl alcohol is appropriate for many non-porous surfaces
– Dilute household bleach to about 2% (4 teaspoons per quart (4 cups) of tap water)
– Ensure the bleach is hypochlorite-based as some color-safe bleaches may not be suitable
– Use at least a 1-minute contact time
• Dry surfaces if needed with a clean paper towel
• Dispose of cleaning supplies in a dedicated bin with liner
