Disinfecting surfaces contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 may be achieved with a number of 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.
Under 0.6 % of hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean SARS-CoV-2 contaminated areas .
