A member asked:

If often wonder if i use lysol disinfectant wipes or some time of clorox cleaning spray, if i wash my hand after can i finger food? safely

Sounds safe...: It is generally safe to eat with one's hands after his hands are washed, regardless of what household cleaner he was using prior to washing his hands. If worried, just wear gloves next time when doing household cleaning.
