Oxygen Hygiene

Oxygen Hygiene is based over in Patlawad, which is down in the Dhar district. It’s just a normal shop where we handle various cleaning and hygiene supplies. Living and working here, you get to know the local people pretty well after a while. We aren’t some big corporate entity with fancy offices and glass walls. It’s just us in a practical, everyday building. Most of our mornings start pretty early because there’s always something that needs moving or sorting out. The shelves are packed with bottles and containers that people from around town need for their homes or small shops. Patlawad is a fairly quiet spot most of the time, but the road out front can get quite dusty when the big trucks pass through. We actually spend a good chunk of our time just dusting things off and keeping the place looking decent, which is a bit funny given what we sell. You’ll usually see us shifting boxes around or checking what’s left in the back room. There’s really nothing fancy about how we run things. We just turn up and do the work that needs doing. Sometimes the sun gets really hot in the afternoons and everything slows down for a bit, but we stay open regardless. People stop by, ask for a specific soap or chemical, and we help them out. It’s a very straightforward way to make a living. No one wears a tie here; we just wear regular clothes that we don’t mind getting a bit dirty. That’s how it is for us every day in Dhar.
