EDITOR'S COMMENT

Swine flu seems to be out of the news at present, yet it changed perceptions of infection control permanently. Areas that were touched by many different hands, such as banisters and door handles, became new cleaning hotspots. There were masks, gloves, instructions on tissue and paper towel disposal, and so many products labelled, 'effective against H1N1 influenza'. So what is the situation now? Are cleaning companies still witnessing heavy demand for infection control products? Answer the poll and let us know.
