Can dry cleaning clothes be infected with coronavirus? Dry cleaning clothes are generally disinfected and will not infect novel coronavirus.

The probability that the virus infects people through contaminated clothes is extremely low. If you haven't been to a specific place, such as going to the hospital to see patients or people with suspicious symptoms, you don't need to disinfect your clothes.

Novel coronavirus's clinical transmission route is mainly through droplets in the air, and may also be spread through contact. More evidence shows that it may also spread through feces, even through contact with objects. Therefore, if you touch the clothes of a confirmed patient, and there is a virus on the clothes of the confirmed patient, it may be contagious. When the temperature and humidity are suitable, the virus may survive on the corresponding object for 5 days.

What should I pay attention to after dry cleaning? When washing some expensive clothes, we often choose dry cleaning, but dry cleaning can also cause damage to clothes. Dry cleaning clothes will come into contact with harmful substances such as tetrachloroethylene. Therefore, clothes that have just been dry-cleaned should not be worn immediately, but should be aired outdoors first to reduce their harm to human body. Many people take their clothes back from the dry cleaners and put them in the closet. The wardrobe is not well ventilated, and high concentration of harmful chemicals will spread in the wardrobe. Clothes stored in the closet may be contaminated with harmful substances, and taking them out of the closet is also harmful to health.
