Hydrogen peroxide wipes kill norovirus on household surfaces.

CONTESTED PARTIAL

Is it true that hydrogen peroxide wipes kill norovirus on household surfaces?
Partly. Evidence is mixed and only partial: a peer-reviewed study found hydrogen peroxide wipes inactivated a norovirus surrogate (MS2) on coupons, and EPA's List G includes hydrogen peroxide products effective against norovirus, but a Cleveland Clinic source states disinfecting wipes do not kill norovirus and recommends bleach. No retrieved item directly tests hydrogen peroxide wipes against norovirus on household surfaces.
