[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] As the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) spreads, consumers are showing increased interest in 'contactless rental services' and 'water purifier sterilization water.'

According to Cuckoo on the 1st, sales of Cuckoo water purifiers and air purifiers, which can be managed contactlessly, increased by about 25% in January and February (as of the 27th) of this year compared to the same period last year, when COVID-19 began to spread. In the case of bidets, sales increased by 76%, proving the heightened interest of consumers concerned about virus infection through contact with outsiders.

Cuckoo has continuously introduced rental products equipped with a 'self filter replacement system,' where customers receive filters every four months and replace them themselves, in addition to the method where a natural manager visits directly to replace the filters. The self filter replacement system applied to water purifiers, air purifiers, and bidets allows customers to manage the products themselves contactlessly, which is especially suitable during the recent period of heightened anxiety due to COVID-19.

Furthermore, Cuckoo has established proactive internal response guidelines related to rental services to prevent and curb the spread of COVID-19. They are adjusting desired visit dates to ensure customers do not experience inconvenience.

The electrolyzed sterilization water obtained through Cuckoo water purifiers is also excellent for disinfection to prevent COVID-19. The core and patented technology of Cuckoo water purifiers, the 'In&Out Sterilization System,' is an advanced technology that electrolyzes clean water (H2O) passing through the filter to generate natural sterilizing substances (OH-, HOCL, etc.) that perform sterilization.

The sterilization water, which is dispensed from a separate valve at the sink, can be used not only to wash food ingredients directly consumed by the body but also to clean kitchens, bathrooms, and indoor spaces hygienically using sterilization water instead of chemical detergents. Items prone to bacterial contamination, such as baby bottles or toys that children frequently put in their mouths, door handles often touched in daily life, as well as mobile phones, keyboards, mice, and remote controls, can be hygienically disinfected using sterilization water to prevent virus infection.
