Keeping ourselves and the things around us clean, poses
a major challenge in the protection of our ongoing health.
Although today most of us take general cleanliness for
granted, it was not long ago that our inability to effectively
clean ourselves, our homes and our clothing was the
cause of much illness and disease. Few effective cleaning
products existed, making it difficult to get things truly
clean. Many of the things around us became the breeding
grounds for health problems.
