The use of Spray-type disinfectant is increasing in households as interest in personal hygiene is heightened due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, requiring consumers’ attention on exaggerated advertisements.

In response to this, Korea Consumer Agency (President Jang Duck-Jin, KCA) conducted a test on efficacy and advertisement status of spray-type disinfectants(cypress water, deodorizers and hypochlorous acid(HOCl) disinfectants) sold online.
