[quote=Anonymous] Covid particles inactivate themselves naturally when left for 3- days on inert surfaces. Freezing for 4 days kills certain pests such as clothes mites. However certain mold and bacterial spores resist such cold temperatures quite well. Washing and drying on hot will kill most bacteria and certain molds, as well as all viruses. For a venerable teddy, I would put him out in strong sunlight. Make sure to expose all parts of him over several days. This used to be recommended for Covid masks as well, since sunlight can inactivate viral particles, however it is not recommended now, because scientists found that the disposable mask fabrics could be damaged by repeated exposure to sunlight. - microbiologist, whose own beloved teddy is going on 40.
