When You Get Home From The Grocery Store, Should You Wash More Than Just Your Produce?

(CNN/KDKA) -- When you get your groceries home, should you be washing more than just your produce?

KDKA's Brenda Waters takes us inside her home for a look.

BRENDA WATERS REPORTS:

Designate one person to be your errand-runner to limit your outside exposures
Set up a disinfecting station — an area outside your home or in a room with low foot traffic where you can disinfect packaged food

Avoid coming within less than six feet of others
Wipe handles on carts or baskets while shopping
You don't have to have gloves or a mask — just wash your hands frequently while you're out and avoid touching your face

Disinfect everything you touch — doorknobs, light switches, keys, phone, keyboards, remotes, etc.
Use EPA-approved disinfectants (these include Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and certain Lysol sprays) and leave surfaces wet for 3-5 minutes

Ask workers to drop deliveries off on your doorstep or in an area of your complex
If they need you to come to the door, keep six feet of distance
Pay and tip online when possible
After you pick up mail from your mailbox, wash your hands
