My Routine after Visiting the Produce Market Near Me

Many shoppers forget that they actually carry a lot of viruses and bacteria from shopping without them knowing it. Worse, they actually carry them with the grocery items that they bought with them.

But today, I will show you how I disinfect my grocery items after I visit the produce market near me. These steps are my personal adoption of the WHO Guidelines.

1. Disinfect using foot baths you prepared at your doorstep.
2. Use the washing area outside your home to wash packed grocery items with soap and water for 20 seconds.
3. Wash fruits and vegetables with soap and water for 20 seconds.
4. Thoroughly rinse these items with water until soap has been completely removed.
5. Transfer the clean food products using the pre-located containers at least 20 ft away from your washing area.
6. Take of the clothes you used when you shopped and use the fresh change of clothes you prepared before leaving the house.
7. Store these cleaned items in a secure area according to their respective storage requirements.
