Abstract
Transmission of pathogens may be reduced by placing an absorbent cover over high-touch control surfaces such as door and drawer handles and toilet flush levers, and then soaking the absorbent cover with an antiseptic liquid such as an alcohol-based solution, a mild acid solution, or a solution containing other ingredients having antimicrobial and antiviral properties. The antiseptic liquid may be applied periodically by means of an atomizer or sprayer. Absorbent covers may be made of an open-cell foam, such as a melamine foam.
