COVID-19 and the Science of Soap

As society begins to plan to re-open businesses, protecting ourselves and each other from the coronavirus is still a paramount necessity. As we prepare to get back to a “new normal” it is important to remember that we’re armed with one of the oldest weapons in human history: SOAP.

We created “The Science of Soap” animation to visualize how soap kills viruses in order to help you understand and remember that 20-30 seconds of scrubbing destroys the virus that causes COVID-19.

And not just SARS-CoV-2: proper washing with soap also has this effect on other viruses, such as the seasonal flu.

From all of us at INVIVO: Stay safe, wash those hands, and remember, where there is soap, there’s hope!
