The EPA approves surface disinfectant products after passing rigorous testing to prove that they have a high effective rate. Surface sanitization products are also suitable cleaning materials, but they do not need to reach the high standards that disinfectants do. Both can be used to clean surfaces and maintain safe environments, but disinfectants are preferred.

Another significant difference between sanitizing and disinfecting is sanitizing reduces certain bacteria, while disinfectants destroy and inactivate bacteria and some viruses on surfaces. When using these chemicals, it is important to remember what the surfaces will be used for. Certain surfaces may have higher contact rates and need to be cleaned by stronger agents to ensure that they are safe.

It’s important to use both sanitizers and disinfectants as a part of your cleaning routine. How often to clean an area depends on its use and whether it is a frequently touched surface. Clorox advises that disinfecting up to three times a day is safe and recommends increasing the frequency if someone is sick.

In-store experiences are no longer the norm, and businesses have had to create customer experiences in different and unique ways. Businesses have engaged their customers by dedicating more money to the “unboxing” experience. When a customer receives a well-packaged box with custom branding and other details, they feel appreciated and create a connection with the brand. This extra effort can be the deciding factor in today’s market to drive repeat purchases and block out the competition. B...

The pandemic has put a halt to most of our social activities. Working from home is the new norm, and spending most of our days at home is expected.
