New Delhi [India], January 18 (ANI/Digpu): Covid-19 has certainly been an eye-opener for people across the globe. The need to keep everything clean and sanitized was never a concern before this pandemic. Even to touch something had become questionable and the fear of contracting the virus prevails. Cleanliness and hygiene has gone from being a basic requirement to a critical need at every household, organization, corporate, shops, malls, etc.
The process of sanitation, disinfection and cleaning can be lengthy as well as time-consuming. Cleaning and sanitizing homes are easier compared to business places like malls, corporate offices, shops etc. Public places like these have various elements that need to be sanitized as they are touched by many people every day. Especially with the ongoing pandemic, it becomes very important to sanitize everything at regular intervals.
