Clorox Malaysia Outlines Support for COVID-19 Relief Efforts

 

Hospital Sungai Buloh team received the product contributions from Clorox.

Clorox Malaysia has long stepped up to support the nation’s disaster relief efforts, working with the authorities and non-governmental organizations.

In response to the recent spike of COVID-19 cases, Clorox Malaysia has outlined support for relief efforts by contributing to two of the main public health facilities for the treatment of COVID-19 cases, Hospital Sungai Buloh and Hospital Universiti Malaya; as well as to a non-governmental organization, MERCY Malaysia. The brand contributed a total of RM80,000 in products that will be used to limit the spread of the virus in everyday life, and in the workplace at the three organizations. 

The UMMC personnel actively clean and disinfect the venue using the products contributed by Clorox. 

Cleaning and disinfection are critical in reducing the spread of COVID-19, especially in medical facilities where the risk of infection spreading from the infected to the healthy is high. Disinfecting hard surfaces is carried out frequently for this purpose, and the amount of product required daily is high.

“We really appreciate and thank Clorox for the contribution,” said Professor Dr. Nazirah binti Hasnan, UMMC Director.

Clorox Bleach and Clorox All Purpose Cleaner Spray were contributed for the thorough cleaning and disinfection of the facilities, while Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes are for the daily individual use of frontliners, patients and visitors at these facilities.

“We appreciate the contributions given to the frontliners,” said management of Hospital Sungai Buloh.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us directly or indirectly. Some of us have seen first-hand the need for more disinfection and cleaning products at hospitals. Clorox Malaysia offered support, as we are humbled by the efforts of Hospital Sungai Buloh, Hospital Universiti Malaya and MERCY Malaysia in fighting the pandemic,” said Paulo M. Lao, Sales & Marketing Director of Clorox Southeast Asia. “We are proud that our products can help to effectively clean and disinfect their facilities, and can be used by frontliners, patients and visitors for a safer environment because Clorox believes that clean matters.”

He added that third-party testing confirms the efficacy of several of Clorox’s top disinfecting products against SARS-CoV-2 strains1 including the Alpha (UK) and Beta (South African) variants of concern (VOC). These results are in line with a US Environmental Protection Agency announcement that genetic changes to the virus do not impact the efficacy of disinfectants and all disinfectants approved to kill SARS-CoV-2, will kill new strains of the virus. 

Products contributed by Clorox arrived at MERCY Malaysia, and ready to distributed to the families in need.

As a non-profit organization, MERCY Malaysia relies heavily on funding and donations from organizations and generous individuals to continue our services to provide humanitarian assistance to our beneficiaries. We sincerely thank Clorox Malaysia for reaching out to MERCY Malaysia with their contribution for the frontline workers. We all recognise the importance they play in helping the battle against this global pandemic,” added Zuraidah Mian, MERCY Malaysia’s Acting Executive Director.

The Clorox disinfection and cleaning products were distributed in early June 2021. 

I am also using the Clorox products for my home for cleaning and disinfecting.

Brand-new Scott® Calorie Light Premium Towel is specifically designed for superior oil absorbency, to help tackle one of the main concerns of fellow Malaysians – high calorie consumption. The product is made to absorb oil easily and effectively, especially the excess oil from the surface of foods, hence one could enjoy delicious great food yet with a reduced calorie intake from fat by up to 25 %*!

Many Malaysians consume more than the recommended daily calorie intake – the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization found that the average Malaysian consumes more than 2,900 kcal per day**, well in excess of the recommended 2000 calories per day for adult men and 1500 for adult women.
