To analyse the presence of germs and pathogens in Indian homes, Lizol (India’s leading disinfectant brand) and India’s leading government research agency, Council of Scientific & Industrial Research’s (CSIR) institution ‘Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology’ (IGIB) have jointly conducted a study.
The research team studied the presence of germs in Indian households and found that floor areas across different rooms harbour illness-causing germs. The germs identified have been responsible for diseases such as diarrhea and conditions like skin-infections, urinary tract infections, acne, eye and bloodstream infections.Mr. Saurabh Jain, Regional Marketing Director, Hygiene, Reckitt- South Asia said, “According to recent studies, widely used phenyls were found to be inadequate, leaving 50% germs behind after mopping.
Only specialized floor cleaners, like Lizol, with disinfecting actives offer enhanced cleaning & protection from germs with 99.9% germ kill on your floors every time you mop them.” Dr. Rakesh Sharma, Chief Scientist at CSIR-IGIB, said, “The study conducted in partnership with Lizol has brought to light details of germs and pathogens found on floors in different parts of Indian homes. Further, the germs found in the study are known to be responsible for certain illnesses and hence highlighting the need to maintain clean and germ-free homes.”Recommended by IMA, Lizol All-in-1 disinfectant surface cleaner is available in 7 different fragrances across India and e-commerce websites. It is priced as low as Rs. 42. It is available in packs ranging from 200ml to 5L (along with value refill packs of 750ml and 1.8L).
