An Arsenal of Sanitizers for a Nation of Germophobes
The news has been full of health issues such as SARS, viral outbreaks that happen on cruise ships, and biological weapons. The commercial breaks are then full of products to get rid of these harmful gearms. Some of these products include toothbrush sanitizers, air purifiers, antibacterial soap, cutting boards, keyboards, and several others including the new Dr. Doormat. Approximately 75% of Americans use 6 or more of these antimicrobial products on a regular basis. Research has shown that you cannot get rid of germs in your home completely, but it is possible to take steps to prevent some of the germs.
Debbie Estes Greenspan is the inventor of Dr. Doormat. According to Debbie, "I want my home to be a sanctuary." While watching her infant daughter crawling on the floor, Debbie began to wonder what might be in the carpet. She was suprised to find all of the germs that are being tracked into her house from the soles of shoes. That is when she invented Dr. Doormat, which is a doormat that is treated with an antimicrobial agent. If someone wipes their feet twice on the mat it can remove up to 99% of debris and also destroys any micro-organisms on contact. Dr. Doormats are sold for $59 and come in a wide variety of colors.
This doormat would be very beneficial to anyone that is concerned about the amount of germs in ther home. Is this doormat something that everyone should invest in?
