Some can be treated if the label allows it, and washable items can be laundered. Heavily soiled or soaked items, especially ones with body fluids, are often removed and disposed of.

Washing hands with soap and water is widely taught as the single most effective step. In a contaminated space, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with protective gear and the right product adds to it.

Alcohol-based products can inactivate the virus when the alcohol content is high enough and the surface stays wet long enough. Many professional crews use EPA-registered disinfectants because the label shows the proven contact time and surfaces it is safe for.

Wear gloves, clean visible soil from high-touch surfaces and then apply an EPA-registered disinfectant that lists the virus on the label. Keep it wet for the full contact time. Soft items such as bedding are washed on the warmest setting the fabric allows.
