Besides,disinfectant solutions may have different effects on different types of materials, which could reduce their effectiveness over time.
"Some types of clothing, for example, are able to retain moisture, and therefore, it affects the survival of the virus contained therein," wrote the authors of the study. "The general consensus is that the virus can survive up to a few days of clothes. It is reasonable to expect a similar survival time for viruses on / in protective masks."
By testing cultures exposed toa wide range of temperature levels For various lengths of time, researchers were able to determine exactly which of the temperature ranges were able to effectively inactivate Covid. But the results also highlighted that the use of heat as a disinfection tool at home may not be as easy as possible.
The researchers also sought to emphasize that the upper shoot than the scope of suggestion was ideal. "Because of the seriousness of the current in coronavirus infection, we suggest that a reasonable safety factor can be achieved by increasing the temperatures listed ... of [18 degrees Fahrenheit]," wrote the authors of the study .

"For these devices, the temperatures are typically at or below [135 degrees Fahrenheit]. These temperatures are much warmer than residential warm (in the US), such as plumbing codes limit hot water to [120 degrees Fahrenheit].
