A member asked:
Are alcohol wipes enough to clean toys/objects/surfaces of staph, streptococcus, flu, and the other major germs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Alcohol wipes should be enough. Do not get too fussy with cleanliness of the child's environment. A sterile environment may not be good. See this site for info. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2841828/
