Reckitt, the makers of Lysol, officially introduced Lysol Pro Solutions – Lysol’s science-led, business-to-business offering that helps companies of all types and sizes protect customers and staff from the spread of illness-causing germs, according to the company.
Lysol Pro Solutions is being introduced at a time when 78% of consumers are still concerned about germs.1 Following the pandemic, consumers have a heightened awareness of how germs spread and a strong expectation that businesses will do their part to help prevent and combat the transmission of viruses such as flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and rhinovirus.
Around 85% of business leaders believe that having the right products and processes for cleaning and disinfection is one of their most important job responsibilities. However, 70% do not have any specific expertise in this area.2
Lysol Pro Solutions drawa on Reckitt’s science expertise and research on illness-causing pathogens. Lysol Pro Solutions has already delivered successful programs for industry leaders such as Hilton Hotels, Delta Air Lines, Avis Budget Group, and many Major League Baseball teams, where custom protocols have been implemented to help combat the spread of germs. Notably, 62% of people indicated that they are more confident to engage with a brand if a Lysol partnership is in place.3
The Lysol Pro Solutions program includes:
“Americans’ expectations of cleanliness have changed forever,” says Rahul Kadyan, executive vice president of Reckitt Global Business Solutions. “For 130 years, Lysol has helped to protect people, and with Lysol Pro Solutions, we have furthered our long-standing commitment out of the home. We are enabling businesses to put in place enhanced disinfection standards that help them meet heightened consumer expectations.”
When developing targeted cleaning and disinfection measures, Lysol Pro Solutions takes into account how customers move and interact within a space, with a focus on germ-harboring areas within those spaces. It then produces enhanced protocols and delivers training on when, how, and what products should be used to clean and disinfect, the company explains.
“Our investment in research is part of our relentless pursuit of a cleaner, healthier world,” continues Kadyan. “This cutting-edge scientific expertise is invaluable in creating cleaning and disinfection solutions that consider the individual needs of a business. This is why companies such as Hilton Hotels, Major League Baseball, Delta Air Lines, and Avis Budget Group have already chosen to partner with Lysol Pro Solutions. Through our program, we are helping businesses keep their spaces strong against the current global health crisis and potential threats of tomorrow.”
