Home Care Wipes: Sustainability in Sharper Focus as Cleaning Frenzy Simmers Following Pandemic

摘要

It goes without saying that Covid-19 ushered in something of a paradigm shift in consumers' approach to home care and domestic cleaning. Where pre-pandemic the industry had struggled to engage, educate, and convince consumers to trade up, 'threat' arrived, and backed by government campaigns saw money, time and the breadth of domestic cleaning expand. An illustration of the significance of this change can be found in everyday items, like touch screens, commonly found in public locations like retail stores and fast food outlets. These items once seemed like a good idea, easy to access and convenient, but is that still the case in 2021? Door handles too, a mechanism to enter a room which came with little consideration for most, now the potential harborer of all manner of nasties which probably needs a clean. Not many felt the need to clean door handles before 2020 yet now it seems more apparent, something we could/should be doing, whether we actually do it or not.
