Viruses are not actually "killed" since they really are not live creatures or microbes. They are inactivated or made inert by some cleaning products, and some of them are effective on contact. For a list of those products that have been licensed for use by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as antimicrobials effective on influenza Type A viruses, see the link in the related links section below.
Soap and warm water scrubbing will also inactivate and remove the virus and hand sanitizers that are a minimum of 60% alcohol also "kill" the virus. In addition chlorine bleach can be used.
