You can never have too much soap around when you have children. Unfortunately, most soaps cannot guarantee that using them will kill all of the bacteria and germs that you are exposed to on a daily basis. We have always loved Lysol® products in our home but, we didn’t realize how important using their products was to the health of my family until my sons and I contracted the H1N1 Virus two years ago. For those of you who don’t know this virus by its scientific name, you will probably recognize it as the Swine Flu. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, we all got violently sick with this flu because we did not take the necessary precautions to protect our home from harmful germs.
Since recovering from this virus, I have paid a lot more attention to the products that we use to wash our hands and to clean areas of the house that can be potential breeding grounds for bacteria and disease such as sinks and the toilet. Obviously, this does not guarantee that we will be protected from all germs but we can sure as heck try our best because nothing is too good for my family.
As I stated earlier, I have always used Lysol® products in the past, especially their disinfectant spray because I love how clean its smells and I also love that it eliminates odors as well as kill germs. That is why I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to review the Lysol® Healthy Touch® No-Touch Hand Soap System as well as the Lysol® Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes. These are two products that I had already seen advertisements for and added to my wishlist of Lysol® products to include in my cleaning arsenal.
Lysol® Healthy Touch® No-Touch Hand Soap System
Never Touch a
Germy Soap Pump Again
First, let me tell you a little bit about the Lysol® Healthy Touch® No-Touch Hand Soap System. It senses your hands in front of it and automatically dispenses just the right amount of Antibacterial soap to allow you to thoroughly wash your hands. I cannot begin to tell you how convenient the fact that you do not have to touch it to get the soap is in my household.
You see, I have a five year old that has the special ability to break most of the soap dispensers and handwashing products that I put in the bathroom. He is fascinated by them and always ends up making a big mess. Now, I don’t have to worry about whether or not he gets enough soap out to wash his hands because the Lysol® Healthy Touch® No-Touch Hand Soap System does all the work for him. He loved the fact that the soap came out like “magic” and I loved the magic of not having soap all over the sink.
The system’s Antibacterial soap kills 99.9% of bacteria on hands when used as directed. It makes hand washing easy and fun for everyone in your family and it helps consumers to avoid having to come in contact with germy soap pumps. Also, the Antibacterial hand soap refills for the Lysol® No-Touch Hand Soap System are enriched with moisturizing ingredients and are available in four great scents:
Refreshing Grapefruit Essence™
Soothing Cucumber Splash™
Aloe Vera & Vitamin E with Moisturizers
Antibacterial Total Care
Here are some handwashing tips you can share with your children when using the Lysol® Healthy Touch® No-Touch Hand Soap System :
Handwashing Tips – Handwashing is one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of germs. Every time you touch a contaminated surface, you can transfer germs to
and from your hands — but proper and thorough hand washing removes most germs from your hands.
Handwashing Poster – Make handwashing fun by downloading a handwashing poster to read together and hang by your bathroom sink.
Back-To-School Basics: Traditionally, classrooms are breeding ground for germs. Every desktop, pencil sharpener,doorknob and faucet that an infected child touches becomes colonized with germs.
Lysol® Disinfecting Wipes: Dual Action
2 Sides: One
for Scrubbing. One for Wiping
After I ushered my little helper out of the bathroom I rushed to try out the Lysol® Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes. Believe it or not, cleaning the bathroom is one of my favorite things to do. I took out one of the wipes and immediately fell in love. It was textured on both sides and was different from any other cleaning wipe that I have ever used before. One side is for everyday touch-ups and the other side is to scrub away messes. I was able to clean my bathroom sink and my toilet with just one wipe! Amazingly, the wipe did not fall apart at all and I was able to really scrub everything down thoroughly. Let me also add that the wipes smelled fresh and clean and did not leave my bathroom with any overwhelming toxic smells.
Lysol® Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes also kill 99,9% of all household germs when used as directed so you can use them all over your house to clean and disinfect just about everything. Lysol® Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes come in Citrus and Crisp Linen® scent. Also, of particular interest to me was the fact that these wipes kill Cold and Flu Viruses including Pandemic 2009 H1N1 and Influenza A. Believe me, I don’t ever want to go through what we went through two years ago when we were all sick as dogs.
Here are some tips for using Lysol® Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes to kill germs around your home:
Establish Before- and After-School Hygiene Habits – As your child adapts to the school-day routine, you can help make hygiene a regular part of the day with
some basic actions both before and after school.
Cleaning and Disinfecting – Lysol is the expert in killing germs at home. Find everything you need to know about common germs, how they are spread, and how you can help control them.
Kitchen Cleaning Tips – Learn how germs spread in the kitchen and how to help protect your family from foodborne illness with simple cleaning and disinfecting tips.
Bathroom Cleaning Tips – Reduce the spread of germs and help prevent the growth of mold and mildew in your bathroom with simple cleaning techniques.
