Misting The White House Between Administrations Won’t Kill Covid-19 — And It Could Be Harmful, Experts Say-STAT

The federal government is putting $29,000 in taxpayer funds toward a type of cleaning that many experts advise against: misting a disinfectant all over the White House. A Virginia-based contractor will spray a disinfectant mist throughout the East and West Wings before President-elect Biden moves in, according to a federal contract first reported by TMZ and Politico. The same contractor has done the same procedure for the Navy, including at a weapons station in Virginia. But prominent expert organizations are clear: misting or fogging disinfectants is not a good way to fight Covid-19. STAT, 12/16/2020
