washing shearwater petrel in Detol

[declan long]

Hi Guys

Today someone touched my sw petrel and i think they had a cold so tonight i washed it thouroughly and used a little little bit of detol neat and then rinsed it with water thouroughly, should this be a problem? anyone else done this?

i know i should have checked the washing instructions first but i checked them after and seen it said do not use and detergent or chemical.

is this a big problem, please help?

also i washed the case in dettol and it smeelss of it, should i still store it in its case the computer?

thanks i am really paniking//scared now.

put the shearwater in the microwave for 30 seconds (on high) to neutralize the dettol. Itll also kill any remaining viruses as an added bonus.

a little ammonia and bleach will get that right off

I am really getting the feeling that I don't take proper care of my Shearwaters. There were some for sale avwhile back in a custom case and now someone is disinfecting them. Mine are definitely feeling unloved laying in the bottom of my boat. Is there anyone that sleeps with them in their bed?

Shhhhh. There's a reason I said "kiss". The site policy is PG.

1. 70% alcohol should kill most of the germs.
2. Do you walk around with face mask(N95 recommended) on? We used to do that back in 2002 during the SARS outbreak.
