rhino viruses can live on public surfaces for up to 24 hours. I would imagine in the home, since it tends to be warmer, they could live a lot longer.
That is why washing your hands frequently and putting lysol on common household surfaced will go a long long way to keeping you and your family virus free all winter long.

Don't worry about how long they last, just wipe down everything with hot soapy bleach water or spray with Lysol plus Bleach and that will take care of it.

Not very long. A few days at the very most. If you want to be sure they're gone, bleach will do it.
