A member asked:
What is the best way to clean germs such as strep pneumoniae off of objects and what cleaning product should be used?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In normal daily life: In normal daily life, we don't think about cleaning the home or office of Strep pneumoniae germs, because they are considered mild (not extremely deadly, not like anthrax), are more likely caught by direct human contact or breathing in some sick person's sneeze or cough, and we get immunity to many strains of it (by prior illnesses or the VACCINE). Any typical home cleaning product are fine. Any.
