This was undertaken to mitigate global alcohol shortage and cope with the sudden surge in demands of alcohol disinfectant at medical facilities as well as home and workplace environments given the global situation.</p><p>According to the review committee of experts, these seven types of surfactants are commonly found in household products like dishwashing liquids:</p><ul>	<li>Sodium linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (0.1% or more)</li>	<li>Alkyl glycoside (0.1% or more)</li>	<li>Alkylamine oxide (0.05% or more)</li>	<li>Benzalkonium chloride (0.05% or more)</li>	<li>Benzethonium chloride (0.05% or more) (newly added on May 28, 2020)</li>	<li>Dialkyldimethyl ammonium chloride (0.01% or more) (newly added on May 28, 2020)</li>	<li>Polyoxyethylene alkylether (0.2% or more)</li></ul><p>With this research confirming more accessible ways to disinfect your homes and workplaces, dishwashing liquids, like Joy Philippines, that contain these ingredients offer to benefit Filipinos and may serve as a reliable substitute to alcohol-based disinfectant. </p><div><strong>New solution to disinfecting</strong></div><p>Japan NITE recommends the solution ratio of one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid mixed in 500ml water. To sanitize, wipe all items or surfaces with a cloth soaked in this solution. Ensure to squeeze excess liquid out of the cloth to prevent the liquid from dripping. Wipe firmly in one direction to prevent spreading dirt and virus. Leave the items or surfaces to rest with the mixture for about five minutes then, wipe off the soap solution with a cloth soaked in water. Finally, wipe dry all items and surfaces with another clean cloth. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2020/advertorial/07/13/20200713_brochure.jpg"/></figure></div><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2020/advertorial/07/13/20200713_brochure2.jpg"/></figure></div><p>To learn more about the research findings, click <a href="http://meti.go.jp/english/press/2020/0529_001.html">here</a>.
