You could clean the chess pieces the way a cat cleans - with the tongue!
I personally pour petrol over them and set fire to them. Then I scrape them and immerse them in a salt solution. Lastly, they are polished with boot polish when they dry, black for the black pieces and neutral for the white. This treatment removes Coronavirus.
I brought Clorox wipes, and with some of the other players, we wiped down the sets before the tournament. It worked well.
No one has time to clean pieces when you you have Bobby Lee pinned down at Cold Harbor.

I run mine though my CPAP cleaner. Although now with the Coronavirus I stopped playing over the board and basically don't leave the house except to get groceries.
um like disinfectant/ cleaning ur hands before u start playing? toss it in some chlorine water and take em for a swim?

Youre supposed to clean em ?
Indeed. If you want to have a perfect chess party, all the tools must be clean and the area around them, as well. Unfortunately, sometimes we have no time to do it on our own. So here I ask a cleaning professional to do it for me or for the game. And it works greatly today!

Yesterday while at my local chess club some children got a hold of my board and pieces while I was in the lavatory dealing with my chronic IBS. I caught them red handed playing on my equipment when I came out of the lavatory! By the looks of them they were snot nosed, unkempt, and very greasy (unreasonably so). I took swift action and swept the contaminated pieces into a plastic shopping bag and tied it shut to contain all the contagions my equipment had been infected with by these two miscreants. Once home I put them in a 50/50 bleach and water solution and let them soak over night. My good friend Vsevolod runs a tattoo parlor and said he would allow me to disinfect my equipment in his autoclave and I will bring them to him for this tomorrow morning. I think three hours in the autoclave should be adequate but would like your considered opinions.
You need psychotherapy.
UV lamps maybe?
Uv will change/damage plastic and wood.
