Efficacy of detergent-based cleaning and wiping against SARS-CoV-2 on high touch surfaces.
Letters in Applied Microbiology 2023 March 12
Efficacy of cleaning methods against SARS-CoV-2 suspended in either 5% soil load (SARS-soil) or simulated saliva (SARS-SS) were evaluated immediately (hydrated virus, T0) or 2 hours post-contamination (dried virus, T2). Hard water dampened wiping (DW) of surfaces, resulted in 1.77-3.91 log reduction (T0) or 0.93-2.41 log reduction (T2). Incorporating surface pre-wetting by spraying with a detergent solution (D+DW) or hard water (W+DW) just prior to dampened wiping did not unilaterally increase efficacy against infectious SARS-CoV-2, however the effect was nuanced with respect to surface, viral matrix, and time. Cleaning efficacy on porous surfaces (seat fabric, SF) was low. W+DW on stainless steel (SS) was as effective as D+DW for all conditions except SARS-soil at T2 on SS. DW was the only method which consistently resulted in >3-log reduction of hydrated (T0) SARS-CoV-2 on SS and ABS plastic. These results suggest that wiping with a hard water dampened wipe can reduce infectious virus on hard non-porous surfaces. Pre-wetting surfaces with surfactants did not significantly increase efficacy for the conditions tested. Surface material, presence or absence of pre-wetting and time post-contamination affect efficacy of cleaning methods.
