Also only ONE of us goes and when we return we drop everything in the mud room. While that person is scrubbing up, the other sanitizes everything they brought to the extent it can be sanitize. Then they wipe down the car, the house doors, light switches, ect. Wash the clothes, sanitize everything that was on the person who did the shopping: keys, glasses, wallet, bank card, pocket knife, ect. Then they are ready to scrub up. Shopping takes 30 min. at the most, it takes at least an hour (after practice) to accomplish the cleaning.
