婆罗洲有话题【24/09】 Greenzone ：清洁和环境友善并重的清洁产品个人的卫生除了和自己的生活习惯息息相关，如何打理生活周遭环境的整洁和卫生，也成了关键的问题。打理生活环境的卫生，像是打扫房间，清理厠所，为办公室喷洒空气清新剂等等这些看似日常却又不可或缺的行为，正是决定我们拥有多卫生和清洁的生活质量的关键。那打扫的时候就需要用到清洁用品。日常生活中的清洁用品你最看重什么呢？是看重清洁的效用？认定某种品牌？选择特定的气味？还是有促销就会买？
古晋清洁用品销售公司, Greenzone 的清洁用品除了可以保护个人及环境的清洁，同时更提倡对环境友善和安全的理念，希望大家在用这些清洁产品的时候也可以为保护地球尽一份力。
这期的“婆罗洲有话题”请来了Greenzone的创办人 Nong Lim 林伟伦，带我们了解所谓 “对环境友善”的清洁用品，还有聚焦在日常生活上一些重要，但却被我们忽略的卫生习惯。
