The Covid-19 situation has caused some impacts to our world economy and life in recent months, they have also made us realise a number of different things/matters that might have been neglected, one of them is personal hygiene. The amount of education and awareness informing and teaching us how to wash our hands and practice good personal hygiene is now in the minds of most people around the world. This would lead to the human race making a point to learn more about personal hygiene and health beyond washing hands properly. As we try to lead a more hygienic way of life, nature provides a safe way to clean and eliminate harmful germs, bacteria and even odours without resorting to irritating chemicals: steam.
Germs and microbes are always present in our life, our environment, in our office, public areas and even at your home. Some are within your control, some are not. Have you tried to live more hygienically without the use of harsh and potentially dangerous solvents and detergents can become a challenge.
