How long does the wooden items need to be sanitized, such as newly bought guitar before using it in order to be safe from covid possibilities?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This would depend largely on how it is being sanitized/ Many of the sanitizing agents neutralize any virus within seconds. When & if they are applied to any object it does not take long. If heat were used 60 degree C for 30 min would kill off any covid.
