Replies to "so hydrogen peroxide is a good disinfectant or sanitizer that one could use against this Covid-19?"
Yes, it is a good disinfectant at full strength, but make sure it is FRESH from a new sealed bottle. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down quickly from light or heat or air, so put a little at a time in your spray bottle or use a dark opaque one. It can bleach fabrics, so please don't spray it on upholstery without testing.
Also, fabrics are a very poor host for Covid-19, especially when washed with soap & dried in a hot dryer, so I don't worry much about sanitizing laundered towels and bedding, especially in hotels that seal rooms for a day or two between cleaning and occupancy.
In the past few years I have become a big fan of lodgings that are replacing all room carpets with easy to clean vinyl woodlook flooring - very easy to see if it is clean, and far fewer trapped allergens like dust mites. I also appreciate rooms with windows I can open, always asking for one on the quietest side of the building.
