Help prevent those school germs with Lysol 4-in-1 wipes *Giveaway Closed*

September 8, 2009 By Tanya 135 Comments

Having kids and a hubby in the house, we always have messes. No doubt about that! I also have a germ phobia, so when we are cleaning up, I like knowing that I can clean up AND disinfect germs. Since school is back in full force, I am just waiting on the day where Tucker comes home sick. We can help prevent those in our home right from the bat with Lysol.

With kids heading back to school, parents need be prepared for what’s being sent home with their children. And we’re not talking homework – we’re talking germs.

Lysol Disinfecting WipesThe Lysol brand has teamed up with Dr. Laura Jana, a pediatrician, mother of three school aged-children and owner of an educational daycare center. She would like to share her back to school checklist with moms to help them prepare their children for a healthy and happy school year. Her tips include:

  • The Health administration is predicting a very serious cold and flu season, so teach your children about healthy hygiene habits before they go back to school and get exposed to classroom germs, like MRSA or H1N1 virus. Check out the new educational Web Site for kids, developed in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at www.oopkids.com. This kid-friendly Web site is designed to educate children about healthy hygiene habits and safety routines.
           * This Web site is an expansion from an existing health campaign with the CDC – Ounce of Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/ounceofprevention/ .
  • Send school germs packing by encouraging your children to drop their book bags, take off their shoes and leave their coats at the door when they walk in. Send them straight to the sink to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds (long enough to sing Happy Birthday twice!) while you spray their bags with Lysol Disinfectant Spray to help kill bacteria they may have picked up from the school bus, the playground or the classroom.
           * Lysol Disinfectant Spray effectively kills 99.9% of bacteria on soft surfaces, including the family couch! (Press release available upon request)
           * For more information, check out the Lysol Back to School Information Center at http://lysol.com/send-school-germs-packing/

We could all use some extra tips on germ control, can’t we? I know I can! Here are some additional websites that you may find helpful:

  • The Germ Information Center (www.lysol.com/germ-information-center/) provides useful information to help families fully understand the threat posed by germs.
