- CleaningInstitute.org/Coronavirus Showcases Information on Proper Hygiene, Cleaning, Disinfection Practices in Wake of Coronavirus Spread
Knowing that hygiene, cleaning and disinfecting products are important tools in preventing the spread of infections, the American Cleaning Institute (ACI) website now features a “Cleaning for Coronavirus” page with updated information for consumers and companies alike.
“Targeted hygiene practices can go a long way to help keeping families and communities safe,” says Melissa Hockstad, ACI President & CEO. “We are showcasing the advice of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and other agencies in recommending how handwashing with soap and water, using alcohol-based hand sanitizers and using disinfecting products properly are important tools in helping control the spread of the novel coronavirus.”
ACI’s Cleaning for Coronavirus page is updated throughout the week with new information from public health and government agencies as well as news stories with useful advice for the public.
“ACI is proud to echo the science and research-based messaging of CDC, EPA and other organizations from around the world who are working around the clock to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
“We will continue to focus our year-round outreach efforts on describing the safe, proper and beneficial ways to use hygiene, cleaning and disinfecting products to help prevent the spread of illness and disease.”
