Water Works: Hyatt's New Disinfectant/Cleaner Comes from the Tap

Used to be that the maids and janitors at the Hyatt Regency Chicago cleaned the giant hotel with industrial-strength chemicals like maids and janitors do almost everywhere. Now they scrub it down with water, and the place is no more germy or grimy than it was before. The new cleansers are also cheaper. And get this: They’re safe to drink.
All right, I know this is sounding too much like one of those infomercials. But stick with me: The water, which admittedly is processed, has scientific research behind it as well as seals of approval from the Food & Drug Administration and other government authorities.
