The spread of COVID-19 is more likely when people have close contact, as when living in the same household. To protect against the spread of the disease within households, the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) recommends using soap or detergent to clean dirty surfaces, and routine cleaning of surfaces that are touched often (e.g., desks, sinks, and phones). They further recommend that a disinfectant is used after cleaning. Finally, it is recommended that when cleaning and disinfecting, either disposable gloves are used, or reusable gloves only for these purposes.
In this post, we review soap and detergent products for cleaning from black owned brands. While soaps tend to be more biodegradable than detergents, many of the companies reviewed here incorporate natural and planet friendly ingredients into their products irrespective of type. We also provide links to disinfectants. Some of the following are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
