The sudden presence of the Covid-19 virus this past winter was alarming to everyone across the globe and has also made people become hyper-aware of their hygiene and sanitation habits. All of a sudden, we’re being instructed by the CDC to keep a 6-foot distance, wear a mask and don’t touch your face!
Well, a company called Everest, pre-dating the onset of Covid-19 by a number of years, has been in the case for a long time. And as a result, they have reached what we could call The Next Generation of cleaning products which are highly effective and ‘change the game’ in the world of cleaning and sanitation which is why we wanted the co-founders to come on the show to discuss what they have and why it’s beyond everything else that is available.
