A survey of research on the inactivation of other coronaviruses using various biocidal agents suggests that disinfecting surfaces contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 may also be achieved using similar solutions within one minute of exposure on a stainless steel surface ) , including 62–71 % ethanol , 50–100 % isopropanol , 0.1 % sodium hypochlorite , 0.5 % hydrogen peroxide , and 0.2–7.5 % povidone-iodine ; benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine gluconate are less effective .
The chemical disinfectant solutions against coronavirus should be used on a stainless steel surface for one minute .
