Harnessing the Power of Steam and (UV-C) to tackle Covid-19 and keep personal hygiene intact
The pandemic has changed the way we operate, businesses’ attitude towards digital transformation and consumers’ outlook for the decade to come. Could we have ever imagined a doorbell that can take visitors’ temperature or a smart mask that can track air quality and alert the wearer when the filters need to be replaced? Well, covid-19 made all of this possible.
As rightly said, ‘Prevention is better than cure’, it’s fair to say consumers are more aware then ever of the importance of personal hygiene in fighting off germs and infections. CDC guidelines discovered that viruses may survive on surfaces, including clothing, for days, and Health.com recommended washing clothes if you have been around people who are not adhering to social distancing guidelines. For families, creating an environment where they can live and breathe, work healthier and cleaner on a daily basis has become a top priority. Washing one’s hands often, not touching one’s face and wearing a mask are by now common sense things we all do to improve personal hygiene. But is there anything more we should or could be doing?
With personal hygiene and at-home health solutions gaining immense prominence among consumers, brands have been quick to acknowledge the transformed relationship with technology as a result of the pandemic.
