I recently had pneumonia and I want to sterilize objects in my house (silverware, cups, door handles, etc.) to kill the germs. However, I do not want to use bleach. Any good alternatives?

Try rubbing alcohol. It evaporates quickly and doesn't stink like bleach. Rinse any cups, glassware and eating utensils before use, or you might get an after taste.

Bleach (chlorine) is what works best, you just need a few drops per gallon of water. Anyway, vinegar works just as well, and boiling water for the last rinsing (pour it over the dish rack) but this way you will waste water. If you have a dish washer machine have the last rinsing with boiling hot water.
If you're worried about germs, you should really work on door knobs, telephone and A/C filters, you should clean those at least once a week with a strong germ killer, such as Lysol. We had a long round of flu at home, and being asthmatics we have to worry about complications, and this is the way we kept it under control. We are now flu-free. Wash you hands often and use anti-bacterial moisturizers. That should take care of it.

For cups and utensils, run through dishwasher. If you do not have a dishwasher, soak in HOT water. For door handles, you can use clorox wipes or Lysol. Lysol can be used on any hard surface. Just be sure to test the scent before you buy it, some may be really nauseating.

On your silverware,cups,etc, in a sink of warmest clean dishwater add 1/4 cup of white vinegar. You can actually add a couple tablespoons directly the the bottle of liquid dish detergent-joy,ivory,ajax-which ever U have. Close the lid & shake gently. It will boost your detergent as if oxygen is added & is a natural cleaner/disinfectant.
Then most satisfaction I get to remove germs after our household has been germy sick is to take an empty spray bottle, fill it full of peroxide-the kind we use to clean sores,scrapes,etc. Spray it on everything a body touches-potty's, door knobs, counter tops & anything you may think of. I keep a couple bottles of this sitting under each of my bathroom sinks & kitchen sink. Can also use this as a spray on for pre-treatment of dirty laundry.

assuming you reside in an FFA state that facilitates you to make a suppressor legally (no license required), you are able to got here one out of a a million.5" sch 40 %pipe, delicate wood or modeling foam (20lb) and an absurd quantity of great glue (approximately 6 grams). you will additionally desire a caliper (to make precise measurements with). decrease the pipe to approximately 20" length. decrease the froth or wood so as which you have some a million/2" sheets. decrease the froth/wood returned so as which you have little around products that merely greater healthful snugly into the pipe. 2 products would be drilled out to the diameter of your rifle's barrel, first one approximately 8" from muzzle, 2nd one merely inset fro the muzzle. those 2 holds the pipe firmly to the gun. with those 2 in place and stuck to the interior the pipe, you are able to put in the third piece and arranged for the proper reducing. the third piece would be decrease precisely the place the barrel aligns to on the interior the suppressor. made the hollow merely marginally wider than the bullet, for .22LR that's a nil.229" hollow. after making the decrease and attempting out its precision out, glue interior the piece. dribble great glue throughout anyplace mandatory, superglue critically will improve the hardness of the froth/wood so it would not disintegrate by way of the years. might desire some great accelerator. btw, great glue is barely offered in 2 gram tubes. 6 grams is ALOT of great glue. prepare liberally yet take care to no longer glue your self to something!

Lysol works wonders. There are also Lysol wipes if you don't like spraying stuff in your house.
