NIH specifies the amount of time it takes for germs to die on specific types of surfaces. I think Blue gave you that link'

I try to keep it simple.

A package arrives.
I take it to the garage.
I write the date on it.
3 days later I can open it!

If I happen to "need" it sooner, I take precautions.

Just had a large grocery order arrive. Had to wash everything before putting it into the refrigerator/freezer.

Love to All!
