     Serpentoviruses are enveloped viruses, meaning that disruption of the lipid membrane is all that is needed to inactivate virus. A variety of sanitizers including bleach, ethanol, peroxide, F10 (QAC), and Chlorhexidine have been shown to effectively do this in 1 to 3 minutes for serpentoviruses. Essentially any sanitizer used for at least 3 minutes seems sufficient to render virus inert. ​
