Thank you Kat

I don’t normally use sprays in the house either. I put the pets in another room close off a room spray that room let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes then crack a window and use a fan, or the bathroom and kitchen fan to ventilate and remove most of the smell. You have to be careful using bleach even in solution for anything metal because it will cause it to prematurely corrode.

When I order groceries from Amazon, when the bags come I open them on the porch spray Lysol in them because all the food is wrapped, seal the bags back up, spray the outside of the bags, and wait a half hour. Then I unpack the bags on the porch and bring the food inside and put it away and very importantly when it’s all put away I wash my hands thoroughly.

I do just about the same thing with carry out but thinking about it we haven’t been ordering carry out hardly at all out of an abundance of caution.
I just got my first grocery delivery this past Saturday, our supermarkets use a outside delivery service called instacart, they are nation wide (so says their website) I used latex gloves to carry the bags in and take the items out, then stood there saying to Cody, I pray my shopper used latex gloves. The darkened above is an excellent solution to my concern and will be using your method the next time I order. I do have Lysol spray, I used it once after cooking, I hate, hate, hate the lingering smell of food after I eat especially if I use onions. I did put Cody in the bed room, washed all his bowls, put them in a plastic bag, put that bag in another room then used the spray.Poof, no more stinky smell, but I let him out after 15 minutes later, but did not open any windows, anyway I was sooooo uncomfortable with using the spray, I haven't used it since, I have been opening my kitchen window and living room windows (cross ventilation) to get some of he food smell out and freezing for 15 minutes.
I stopping calling for pizza and such delivery as soon as it was released about this virus and I hate cooking. Now I am forced to .
Thank you Kat for your great tip.
