This was according to the Harris Poll Essential 100 and asked Americans about how companies have responded to the pandemic. Having very good business operations has translated to a loyal customer base around the world that use their products. Clorox continues to test new products to try and kill the virus in the air and on surfaces but making sure it is not harmful and is approved by the EPA.
