As Muslims eagerly fulfil their duties during the sacred month of Ramadan, the profound connection between cleanliness, spirituality, and the bonds of love within families during this time of fasting is especially significant. Recognising the essence and intentions of this blessed time, Dettol, a leading and trusted brand in health and hygiene, is introducing its 'Selangkah Lebih, Selangkah Kasih' campaign. This meaningful initiative is a gesture of love and support, aiming to go beyond the ordinary to purify both body and soul, ensuring families feel secure as they embrace their religious obligations. Sri Sharinnie Rizal, spokesperson for Dettol, explaining ‘Selangkah Lebih, Selangkah Kasih’ campaign embodies the heartfelt 'niat' of Dettol, going beyond to shower love and care on consumers during the sacred month of Ramadhan so that they may stay protected and fulfil their religious obligations with peace of mind. Central to this campaign is Dettol's commitment to empowering individuals. The goal is to inspire them to take additional steps to safeguard their health and the wellbeing of their loved ones, while also extending kindness and compassion to the wider community.

To actualise this commitment, Dettol is donating up to RM100,000 worth of products geared towards overall hygiene, contributing to the maintenance of a clean environment. Additionally, a dedicated Dettol Squad will embark on comprehensive cleaning and disinfection missions at 20 mosques across the Klang Valley. Dettol Squad ensuring the hand wash areas around the mosque is clean and germ free, enabling Muslims to practice daily hygiene with love, safeguarding their families and loved ones from harmful germs.

Worshippers will also receive essential products and educational leaflets, equipping them to protect themselves and their families during their spiritual renewal. Dettol's endeavours will not only benefit worshippers but will also contribute towards promoting a healthier and cleaner environment, highlighting the brand's commitment towards making a positive impact on society.
