When we talk about Toilet, it is not really appropriate and good to have a conversation about it but the reality is that we need to know the importance of it in our daily lives.  Cleaning our households particularly the toilets must be done properly.  This is to prevent bacterias that causes diarrhea which is the third leading cause of child illnesses and fourth leading cause of death of children under five years old.

With the help of Domex they launched their advocacy to have a cleaner toilet here in the Philippines.  The movement is called One Million Clean Toilets Movement, it is a campaign that aims to encourage a culture of cleanliness by increasing the public's awareness on the importance of maintaining proper toilet sanitation through a series of year-long cleaning and education initiatives, starting with a multi-sector partnership with UNICEF, the Philippine Public Health Associaton, the city of Manila and Pilipinas Shell.


Domex will deputize Germ Busters through a series of training activities on the proper servicing of restrooms covering City Service employees, NLEX and SLEX Shell gas station service personnel, and selected school and hospital sanitation staff.

There was a demonstration done in the launch event at Patio Victoria in Intramuros.  There they show how to properly clean your toilet, here is the video together with Dimples Romana as the host of the event:




In line with these, there will be a World Toilet Day before the end of this month. As I remembered my hubby covered last year's event which was held at the San Lazaro Hospital.  Awareness is the main reason of this kind of celebration.

"Good hygiene practices are learned at home, and what every household must understand is that proper sanitation is a necessity, not a luxury." said Domex brand Manager Dennis Chua


"Using common cleaning products such as detergents and bleach may result in clean surfaces, but without germ-killing agents, they cannot provide total disinfection. Regular use of a specialized cleaning product can significantly decrease levels of virus contamination, and minimize the contraction of illnesses like influenza, diarrhea and hepatitis, "Chua added

Presents also during the event was Vice Mayor Isko Moreno and according to him Manila is very thankful that Unilever chose their city to be the beneficiary of this kind of movement, because it lessen their expenses for their health care program.  They promise that they will support Unilever all the way.


With this, individuals who will pledge to support the One Million Clean Toilets Movement via the Domex Philippines FB Page facebook.com/DOMEXPhilippines will also help grow a global fund to help improve access to basic sanitation in areas of need all over the world as Domex will donate P5 to Unicef's Sanitation Program for every pledge received.


So mommies let us all join the movement by cleaning our own toilet with the use of their new Domex products and let us explain to our kids the bad effect of dirty toilet and the importance of cleanliness.
