"From the battlefields of WW1 to everyday households, it has been a trusted ally in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. The Sanitas disinfecting fluid advertisement reminds us of its vital role in safeguarding our health. Lever Brothers' Lifebuoy Soap Advertisement highlights how disinfection became synonymous with protection during times of crisis. In 1963, artist Michael Walters captured the essence of Hamax disinfectant through a captivating marketing shot, emphasizing its effectiveness and reliability. Looking back to 1892, the Carbolic smoke ball advert showcased early attempts at promoting personal hygiene and disease prevention. The Illustrated London News featured a page filled with adverts from 1912, showcasing various brands that offered disinfection solutions for different purposes. Dorothea Lange's lens transported us to a pea pickers camp in Santa Clara County, California in 1939, where even humble tents were not exempt from the need for proper sanitization. Izal antiseptic's litho advertisement demonstrated how advancements in science helped combat germs and bacteria effectively. A glimpse into history reveals an oil on canvas painting depicting disinfection practices at hospitals around 1900 - a testament to the importance placed on cleanliness within medical settings. H. M Bateman's humorous illustration titled 'A Little Disinfectant' adds some levity while reminding us that even small doses can make a big difference. During the influenza outbreak of 1918, Milton advertised itself as an effective defense against this deadly virus. Lastly, an engraving advertisement by Sanitas serves as a reminder that throughout time, people have relied on trusted brands to keep their surroundings clean and safe. "
