“Imagine that the groceries that you have are covered with some glitter, and your goal at the end of this is to not have any glitter in your house, on your hands, or especially, on your face,” he says. “Imagine that disinfectants and soap, they have the power to dissolve that glitter.” Can do. Before you bring your groceries inside, prepare an unpacking station: first, VanWingen says, sanitize a large surface, designating one half for the grocery bags and the other half for cleaning their contents.
For takeout, VanWingen’s procedure looks pretty much the same: The food itself is probably safe and can go straight onto a plate, although VanWingen says microwaving is recommended. Place all wrappers in a bag and get them immediately out of the house.
