A British company has launched a new household cleaner that it claims can destroy the SARS-CoV-2 virus in just 60 seconds. The cleaner, called Cert, comes in a handy tablet form, and can be used on hard surfaces and hard floors.
To use it, customers simply place the tablet in 500ml of water in a spray bottle, and start spraying. Robin Rough, managing director of Hydrachem, the firm behind the cleaner, explained: “We see Cert.
as a real breakthrough for cleaning and hygiene. “We’ve manufactured for the NHS for many years - now everyone can destroy COVID-19 at home or at work.” The detergent works by chemically modifying the spike proteins on coronavirus molecules, preventing them from binding onto cells.
