Same here. In Hawai'i it's mandatory Slippahs off when entering someone's hale.

No one I know ever sanitize things coming into their house. Just sanitize your hands before touching your nose or mouth or eyes

I think so.

Now, I'm back to just rinsing apples with water.
Safe way to wash fruit is with vinegar; then rinse with water.

What type of vinegar? Would white distilled vinegar be OK?

Vinegar is not useful, soap is much better.

Vinegar is diluted and in water much more so.

Please don't depend on vinegar to kill a virus.
