Join A.I.S.E. on
World Health Day for a webinar dedicated to household hygiene

Coinciding with WHO World Health Day on April 7 (10:00 - 11:00 CET) A.I.S.E. is organising a webinar for the release of a joint industry/academia report prepared together with the International Scientific Forum on Home hygiene entitled: "Developing household hygiene to meet 21st century needs: Launch of collaborative industry/academia report on cleaning and disinfection in homes and learnings from COVID-19 among EU citizens". 
 

Join us on this occasion to learn from experts how ‘good hygiene practice’ by European consumers can help prevent the spread of infections. 
 

With ‘Targeted Hygiene’ at the core of the guidance, this report aims to promote appropriate and correct use of cleaning and/or disinfectant products to enable good hygiene practices as a routine part of normal daily life as well as during a public health crisis. You will also hear about perceptions and habits reported in 2020 by European consumers - and how they were affected during the first four months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
