∙ 12y agoSeveral chemical germicides, including chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, detergents (soap), iodophors (iodine-based antiseptics), and alcohols are effective against human influenza viruses if used in proper concentration for a sufficient length of time. For example, wipes or gels with at least 60% alcohol in them can be used to clean hands. The gels should be rubbed into hands until they are dry. Lysol and other disinfectants also kill the virus, check the label on the product, if it is effective on viruses the label should state that.
With chlorine bleach use the following as a guide for the concentration needed:
With household bleach, use a 1 part bleach:10 parts water for non-porous surfaces (tabletops, door knobs). Use 1 part bleach:100 parts water for porous surfaces.
Influenza virus is also destroyed by heat of 167-212°F [75-100°C].
