Personal "practical" boater's COVD19 hygiene/products

[Roberto]

Thanks for all the replies.
Of course I have no idea if these products/procedures are medically necessary nor sufficient, but if one looks for hydroalcoholic handrub and cannot find it, the above formula it's an official substitute.
As for soap, just a reminder of the needed scrubbing duration for it to be useful.
Keep safe all, ladies ant gents.

This is quite a good article about why soap works so well The science of soap – here’s how it kills the coronavirus | Pall Thordarson

Also washing detergents, washing-up liquid etc. More effective than alcohol.

Very useful information.

A wee word to the OP. Whatever happens, don't worry about anything happening on Planet Viago. Things work differently there...

I use Endosan products for agricultural spraying, and also for keeping the boat's water system s sparkling clean and free from nugs.

It is a clever mixture of hydrogen peroxide and ionic silver.

Read all about it !

How EndoSan Works | EndoSan Stabilised Hydrogen Peroxide

As I buy the strongest version (50% HP) , I can dilute it many times over to achieve either a shock dose or a maintenance dose, (typically 5ml in a 500ml of water). On board it's used in a spray bottle with an adjustable nozzle for fine mist to jet.

The same product is used in a 10l WHO spec spray I have mixed up to put into lots of squirty bottles, so that there is always a bottle in a car or tractor or pocket.

For drinking water tanks and pipework, galley and head surfaces, everywhere that needs a disinfectant spray that does not cost the earth or leave a nasty taste or smell. Also very useful to keep clean scratches from barnacles and other sea-based life.

Very very highly recommended.

Thanks Tim. Where do you buy it, Mole Valley?

Endosan seems a good product. I looked at a trial order but their delivery charge is more than the product cost at £14.
