  I think it would be useful if there was some education into what they mean by phrases like 99.9% kill ( 1000 down to 1 bacteria) and perhaps mention that flu ( and HIV) can be killed with any soap on the planet not just there special soap.
  They have toi sell thingsa nd it helps if people are worried because then they will by them…not fair imo
