Clorox On-The-Go Disinfecting Wipes allows Canadians to take matters into their own hands
Over half of Canadians say they are uncomfortable with how often public bathrooms (57%), door handles (54%), gas station pumps (51%), and elevator buttons (51%) are disinfected. And many would rather take matters into their own hands just to be on the safe side.
Half (51%) say they wish they were able to disinfect surfaces outside their homes, especially women, and those with younger children. Six-in-ten (62%) of those surveyed agree they would be more confident going out if they knew they had a disinfecting wipe or spray with them while on-the-go.
"Canadians are patiently waiting to get back to some semblance of normalcy," says
The disinfecting wipes are bleach-free and kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses. Built for on-the-go, the wipes can support with a number of hard, non-porous surfaces such as cell phones*, door handles, credit or debit machines, elevator buttons, laptops*, gym equipment, light switches and certain children's toys.
"A lot of Canadians rely on public transportation, ridesharing and cabs, they need to drop their kids off at school and daycare, they're out running errands and grocery shopping," says Casado. "This gives them an option to carry disinfecting wipes in their cars, purses and bags so they can feel reassured as they re-engage."
The survey of over 1,500 Canadians was completed between
Highlights include:
- Six-in-ten say they disinfect at least one surface when they are outside their homes, with the average being nearly three surfaces, especially shopping cart handles (42%) and cell phones (33%).

- Three-quarters keep disinfecting wipes in one or more locations outside the home; half keep some in two or more areas.

Note on Survey;
No margin of error can be associated with a non-probability sample (i.e. a web panel in this case). For comparative purposes, though, a probability sample of 1,524 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.5%, 19 times out of 20.
Leger's online panel has approximately 400,000 members nationally and has a retention rate of 90%.
