Let’s Disinfect Surfaces Like A Professional with Clorox

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has made all of us hyper-aware of viruses and germs. The fourth wave of the pandemic is happening globally, fuelled by the highly transmissible Omicron variant. In Malaysia, the Omicron variant is now dominant. 

 

How can we keep ourselves and our loved ones safe from viruses and germs while reclaiming our home, work or study space, as a clean zone? 

 

First, know what you’re dealing with. Covid-19 is a respiratory virus that can spread via droplets, when someone who has the virus coughs, sneezes or touches their face and then touches a surface. Use a disinfectant and make sure you always follow the product label’s instructions for proper usage and contact time.

 

Introducing the Clorox Expert Disinfecting range that helps you disinfect your home, workplace, school or university like a professional. Developed with components used in Clorox’ professional lines that are intended for hospitals and medical services, it is EPA-approved to kills 99.9% of both viruses and bacteria in 1 minute, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. It works professionally and thoroughly, making it a good choice to keep your space safe from germs and viruses including the COVID-19 virus*.

 

Clorox has been in the business of cleaning and disinfection solutions since 1913. Clorox is the #1 Bleach brand in the World and has been trusted for generations to kill 99.9% of germs. Its claims are backed by data and its products have been tried and tested even before the pandemic by professionals and home users. 

 

“The Omicron variant is highly transmissible making it vital to disinfect hard surfaces, more often.  Aim to disinfect frequently touched surfaces like keys, door knobs and handles, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, keys, the interior of your vehicle and even parcels and deliveries. It is better to be extra vigilant to stay safe,” said Paulo Lao, Sales and Marketing Director for Clorox Southeast Asia. “The transmissibility of the Omicron variant means that we can be the ones who bring the virus into our homes and pass it to our loved ones.  It is important to disinfect the items we come in contact with for safety, hygiene and peace-of-mind.”

 

Clorox would like to share some tips on how you can reclaim your space and protect yourself and your loved ones in the face of rising Omicron cases. 

 

Work, School and College Space Safety 

Collaboration is a large part of in-office and in-person school or college sessions. While we aim to maintain social distancing, we might come in contact with items that have been touched by others. It is okay to be a ‘clean freak’ by disinfecting your work or study area when you arrive and again after lunch. 

 

Create a Prevention Pack 

Keep illness prevention items (such as face masks, face shields, hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, disinfecting wipes and disinfecting spray) in a centralised spot in your home, the centre console of your car, at your work or study station, or inside your purse/backpack for when you’re on the go. 

 

Disinfect all your devices and ‘carry-ons’ daily

Your carry-ons such as your handbag, backpack, laptop, and mobile phone may come in contact with droplets – from yourself or from those around you. Always give these items a good wipe down. Be sure to bring along the Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes flowpack when you are out and about to ensure that your personal items are safe and not inadvertently spreading the virus. 

 

Disinfect your vehicle

We spend so much time in our vehicles, often with our masks off. Keep Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes within reach, to wipe down and disinfect hard surfaces in your vehicles. Remember to wipe the air conditioner vents and the door handles both inside and out. 

 

Spray the germs away  

Before bringing groceries or parcels into your home, spray them down. Keep Clorox Expert Disinfecting Spray at the entryway to quickly disinfect items to keep you safe from viruses and bacteria.


Disinfect High-Touch Hot Spot Surfaces In Your Home

Handrails, light switches, handles and doorknobs are all notoriously germy, as are high-touch items like phones, computer keyboards and TV remotes. We recommend Clorox Disinfecting Wipes for in home usage as they kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria including the Covid-19 virus in just 15 seconds. Give them a good once-over daily. 

 

Don’t let your guard down. Following these simple tips can help us stay safe and healthy, better able to cope with the challenges posed by the Omicron variant. 


The Clorox Expert range includes Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes Flowpack of 15s and 30s and Clorox Expert Disinfecting Spray. Clorox products are available nationwide at leading retailers and online retail partners, LazMall and Shopee Supermarket.

7-Eleven’s One-Of-A-Kind Reusable Bags To Benefit Reef Check Malaysia & Juara Turtle Project Through #TrashToTreasure Campaign

 

7-Eleven Malaysia has just launched an eco-friendly initiative to transform post-consumer plastic bottle waste into striking tote bags. The brand’s new and exclusive reusable bag collection is dedicated to sustainability, encouraging Malaysians to factor in environmental friendly steps while shopping.



The largest 24-hour standalone convenience store operator nationwide has released two reusable bag variants - the Out of the Ocean Bag and the Recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) Bottle Bag – to address the conundrum of what to do further with all the plastic waste being generated.




The Out of the Ocean Bag is constructed using 100% recycled ocean plastics whereby every bag removes the equivalent of two-to-three bottles from the oceans and waterways. This spacious bag may look dainty, but can support up to 15kg.

On the other hand, the Recycled PET Bottle Bag is upcycled from 100% recycled PET bottles. With a maximum carrying capacity of 10kg, this bag allows you to carry your purchased necessities while reducing the equivalent of up to three plastic bottles from the environment.

7-Eleven Malaysia’s General Manager of Marketing, Ronan Lee, expressed, “Plastic trash are ecologically damaging to the planet that we live on and we want to make a change through our Trash To Treasure reusable bag campaign that aim to drive momentum in influencing our customers’ behaviour to bring their reusable bags when shopping in our stores as well as provide financial contribution to our chosen change agent NPO partners as every little step matters.”

Lee continued, “On top of this, we are also currently using bio-degradable plastic bags in our stores as part of our environmental protection efforts. We hope that our sustainability initiatives will encourage our consumers to shop while keeping the environment in mind to protect the world that we live in from more plastic waste. We must do our part to transform #TrashToTreasure.”

First of their kind in Malaysia, 7-Eleven’s latest reusable bags are not only eco-friendly but look cute, too! The quirky bags are adorned with educational fun facts and their wide straps make them extremely comfortable to wear.


Affordably priced at RM7.90 (Recycled PET Bottle Bag) and RM13.90 (Out of the Ocean Bag), the reusable bags are available exclusively at selected 7-Eleven stores in Peninsular Malaysia. With huge bang for your buck, you can repay Mother Earth with kindness without breaking the bank.   

    


Best of all, as part of the #TrashToTreasure Reusable Bag campaign, from now until 16th September 2021, with every purchase of the reusable bags, RM1 will be channelled toward 7-Eleven’s environmental non-governmental organisation (NGO) partners, Reef Check Malaysia and Juara Turtle Project, so you can play your role in supporting their nature conservation efforts while sporting a trendy tote on your shoulder.

General Manager of Reef Check Malaysia, Julian Hyde, said, “Trash leaking into our ocean is a serious and universal issue. Our teams based on the islands and the island communities see it first-hand - trash washing up to the shores, plastic bags being caught on coral reefs, ghost nets trapping marine animals. It's devastating. Everyone has a role to play if we are to find sustainable solutions to this problem, and this initiative by 7-Eleven Malaysia is a perfect example of how companies can play a role.”

Sharing the same sentiment, General Manager of Juara Turtle Project, Tom Woodford, said, “We are really grateful to 7-Eleven Malaysia for stepping up and recognising that big companies need to help lead the way to changing how we use plastics. Plastic based marine debris is a massive problem for our marine life, including but not exclusive to the sea turtles that we work with here at JTP. We hope that this campaign will inspire people to change their behaviour and to make their own little contribution to protecting our ocean.”



While shopping for your reusable bags at 7-Eleven stores, you may perform another kind act for your local community by contributing to 7-Eleven Malaysia’s Kotak Putih campaign. At the same time, do check out exclusive products such as HY BTS Special Package coffee, Magnum Chocolate Truffle, Nescafe Gula Melaka, and Wonda Masala Spice Coffee, among others.

As we are currently in the midst of the pandemic, hygiene is a topic of importance, especially when it comes to keeping our homes sanitised and germ-free. As a parents, mouse mommy also pay attention on household and kids’ hygienic.

Mouse mommy would like to share this Kleenso products post experience review. Mouse mommy uses Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant for general and daily use to clean up children’s table, mopping the floor, wipe off mobile phone and iPad. This disinfectant is safe and affordable, making it suitable for use at public and common areas. 


The 500ml Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant comes with a spray nozzle that is convenient to use. To use, simply spray Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant onto the surface to disinfect and wipe the surface clean with a cloth after ten minutes.

Germs are microscopic bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa that can cause disease. They are active in areas with organic matter, salt and visible soil. Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces can effectively remove them, therefore preventing and reducing the spread of disease.

Disinfection is a method using physical or chemical solution to eliminate most pathogens and disease causing microorganisms, while sterilization usually utilizes heat to kill all microorganisms.

Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant is formulated to kill 99.9% of germs. It is developed using pH neutral compounds, making it suitable for use on surfaces in the kitchen and dining areas.

Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant can also be used as a soak for cloth-based items. It can also be used on floors, by mopping it with a solution consisting of one cup of the disinfectant to four litres of water.

Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant uses Benzalkonium Chloride, a chemical compound that is proven to be highly effective against all kinds of bacteria such as E. Coli, Salmonella and Listeria, as well as most viruses including measles, influenza and rabies. Benzalkonium Chloride is used as the active ingredient in surface cleaning solutions developed by most commercial brands worldwide.

There are several ways that mouse mommy use Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant effectively:

GENERAL CLEANING:
Apply Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant with a cloth or sponge directly on the intended surface or spray the disinfectant on the surface. Leave the surface to be exposed for ten minutes, then wipe the surface with a clean damp cloth.


FOR SURFACES THAT MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH FOOD:
Applying Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant on the intended surface with a cloth or sponge, then rinse disinfectant off the surface with potable water.

CLEANING FLOORS:
Mix 1 cup of Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant to 4 litres of water and apply the solution to the floor with a mop.

TOILETS:
Squirt ½ cup of Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant on the inner sides of the toilet and toilet bowl rim. Then, brush the areas thoroughly before flushing.

TO DISINFECT CLOTH-BASED ITEMS:
Apply 2 caps of Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant to 2 litres of water. Soak the cloth in the solution for 3 minutes. Then, rinse it with water and leave it to dry at room temperature.

Disinfectants with high alcohol content are designed for use in critical areas such as hospitals. Due to the corrosive characteristics of these chemical compounds, they are recommended to be used only by trained personnel, wearing protective equipment such as gloves. Moreover, these disinfectants are costly and prohibited from being sold online as they are highly flammable.


External lab tests conducted on Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant reveals that when it is applied on surfaces containing 94 different groups of germs, it successfully eliminated all of these germs. This proves the effectiveness of the Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant.

Mouse mommy is feeling safe and happy to use Kleenso Kills Germs Disinfectant for our family to disinfect household items and safe to use.

Practice Personal Care and Hand Hygiene With Antabax



In view of the increasing number of influenza cases in Malaysia, Antabax and KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital are working together on the Always Be Clean (ABC) for Health hygiene campaign, with the goal of raising awareness among Malaysians on hand hygiene. Right now, there is public health emergency of international concern - Wuhan coronavirus.


Hand hygiene and personal hygiene is important in order to take care ourselves and minimize the possibilities of cross-infection.


The Ministry of Health Malaysia advises the public to practice high levels of personal hygiene, frequent hand washing with soap and water, or with hand sanitiser, observing correct sneezing and coughing etiquette, and following a healthy lifestyle[1]. 

According to Ms Vivian Lee, Senior Brand Manager of Antabax,  keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps to avoid falling ill, and reducing the spread of communicable diseases to others. 

Antabax swung into action upon receiving alerts on the increase in influenza cases. We have been working with the relevant authorities to promote better hygiene habits for over a decade, and are glad to collaborate with KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital to educate the public on steps to reduce the risk of contracting and spreading communicable diseases such as influenza.”

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[2] show not washing hands harms children around the world.  Handwashing with soap could protect almost 1 out of 5 young children with respiratory infections like pneumonia[3] . Although people around the world clean their hands with water, very few use soap to wash their hands. Washing hands with soap removes germs much more effectively [4].


About Influenza
Influenza is transmitted mainly by droplets disseminated by unprotected coughs and sneezes. Short-distance airborne transmission of influenza viruses may occur, particularly in crowded enclosed spaces. Hand contamination is another possible source of transmission[5].


Signs and Symptoms of Influenza
Signs and symptoms of influenza include temperatures higher than 38 degrees Celsius, prolonged lethargy or tiredness of up to two to three weeks, pronounced joint and muscle ache, dry cough, frequent sneezing, sore throat and headache[6]. Those showing these signs and symptoms should seek prompt medical treatment. High-risk groups include those above 65 years, pregnant mothers, those with chronic illnesses, respiratory illnesses and young children. 


The Ministry of Health Malaysia also recommends the public, especially those from high risk groups to get seasonal flu vaccination. 

According to Dr Muhamad Yazli Yuhana, Consultant Internal Medicine & Infectious Diseases of KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital, the hospital is treating more than 50 cases of influenza this week and feels that it is crucial to increase awareness on the disease and reduce the spread. 


“The hospital is recording more cases as compared to the years before. We hope that through joint initiatives such as the Antabax ABC for Health, our community will learn to take preventive measures to protect themselves and their families. We need to be more proactive when it comes to taking vaccinations, ensuring hand hygiene, cough etiquette and getting prompt medical treatment, to reduce the spread of influenza,” said Dr Yazli who gave a public talk on ‘Influenza Outbreak: Reduce the Spread!”


The catchy Antabax hand hygiene song lifted the spirits of the children from the KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital who joined the education and awareness program and helped them remember the correct steps for hand washing as demonstrated by nurses from the hospital’s infection control unit.


“The spread of communicable diseases such as influenza can be reduced when we work together. It is as important to keep from spreading the disease, as it is to keep from catching it. The key takeaway for everyone is that we should Always Be Clean at all times,” Ms Lee added. 


The ABC for Health Campaign was developed by Antabax in 2018 to raise awareness among preschoolers and primary students. It has been rolled out to more than 6,000 students nationwide.

All of us got to stay healthy with strong immune system with adequate rest, practice good hand hygiene and personal care hygiene, hydrated, light exercise and good air circulation at house, school and workplace.
