Here, we are discussing how to sanitise the free home delivery grocery items as well as those that you bring from the market in a convenient, safe and simple way

1. Washing is important

Once you receive free home delivery grocery items it is necessary to clean and wash them. Wash your hands, dispose of the bags in the bin which you have used for buying grocery items. In case you want to re-use the bags, it is suggested to wash them too. These are necessary when you are buying grocery from stores. In case you are buying groceries from trusted stores such as Goodie Grocer that is an authentic, safe, hygienic and clean Indian and South Asian grocery store, then you need not follow the washing of bags as you are getting free home delivery grocery.

2. Boxes should be cleaned

In case you receive groceries and other items in boxes, then dispose of the boxes in the bin at the earliest. Besides, there is no need to wash the fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and other natural produce with the alcohol based sanitizers. As such, you can wash items kept in jars, bottles, boxes etc. Do not let the sanitizers come in contact with the food and edible items.

3. Wear Disposable Gloves beforehand

Before you touch any grocery item, it is suggested to wear disposable gloves while handling all the items.  It is suggested to use disposable gloves that are made from latex. Avoid touching your nose, face, ears, mouth or other parts of your body. Once you have stored the groceries and other items, then dispose of the gloves in the bin. While handling and storing groceries & toiletries, use disposable hand gloves made out of latex if available.

Apart from the above, it is suggested that you DO NOT spray or use sanitizer on fresh items like fruits, vegetables, spices, meat, beverages etc.  When you are using fresh fruits and vegetables, you should put them in warm water for a few minutes before consuming.  Also, when you buy products from the South Asian grocery store – Goodie Grocer, expect that the free home delivery grocery will be hygienically packed and delivered at your doorstep while following the safety measures. Moreover, the person delivering the items at your home will follow all the precautionary measures such as sanitizing hands, wearing the mask, using gloves and maintaining social distance.
