This discussion focuses on effective methods for sterilizing a pen and clipboard used by pizza delivery drivers to prevent the spread of colds and flus. The CDC recommends using disinfecting wipes on frequently touched surfaces, ensuring that the surface remains wet for the required contact time as specified on the product. This approach is effective due to the fragile nature of flu viruses, which can be eliminated through standard cleaning practices.

That's very thoughtful of you! Here's the recommendation from the CDC.iwant2beoz said:Hi, so I am a pizza delivery driver and have to carry a pen and clip board so people can sign credit card slips. Is there a way I can sterilize them between customers so I'm not spreading colds and flus around?
Flu viruses are relatively fragile, so standard cleaning and disinfecting practices are sufficient to remove or kill them.
Use disinfecting wipes on electronic items that are touched often, such as phones and computers. Pay close attention to the directions for using disinfecting wipes. It may be necessary to use more than one wipe to keep the surface wet for the stated length of contact time.
