Benefits of belonging to the Detergents Europe network
The cleaning and hygiene products industry plays a central role in delivering these objectives in practice. Its portfolio includes detergents and cleaning products, disinfectants, as well as insecticides and repellents used to control harmful organisms and support hygiene and public health. These products are used daily in homes, hospitals, food production, public transport and many other environments where hygiene, infection prevention and the control of pests and vectors are critical.
