According to our survey (*4), more than three-fourths of the respondents cited the floor as the place where they find it difficult to disinfect at home, and more than half of the respondents said that the floor is usually the place where they find it difficult to disinfect. It is answered that it is not sterilized. On the other hand, according to our separate survey (*5), the number of people who are most concerned about “bacteria” and “viruses” in general households is “floor”.
These days, hygiene measures at home are becoming commonplace in daily life. However, despite the fact that many people are concerned about the hygiene of their floors, it is possible to glimpse the current situation in which hygiene measures for floor surfaces have not taken root due to the lack of clarity about the time and effort required to disinfect the floors.
Under such circumstances, the “TuZuKu antibacterial coating mop” this time is a wet mop developed with the concept of “easily”, “easily”, and “continuous disinfection effect”. The “TuZuKu antibacterial coating mop” has an antibacterial effect on the mopped surface that lasts for about 4 weeks (*6), but even though it is called “coating”, no special work is required. Coating can be done in the same way as regular wiping. It also has the effect of firmly removing sebum stains and oil stains on the floor, and also has the effect of removing bacteria and viruses. In addition, we take safety into consideration so that the drug does not affect the human body.
