Cold and flu season is upon us. What are you doing to protect your family from coming down with a bug? We all know that clean hands play a role in staying healthy but did you know that a recent study, according to a CNN article, found that washing your hands is actually LESS effective than using a hand sanitizer? Researchers in Spain found that children who cleaned their hands with sanitizer instead of soap and water reduced their missed days of school, respiratory infections and antibiotic prescriptions.
Not all hand sanitizer are created equally though. Cleanwell offers natural yet effective sanitizers made without harsh chemicals found in similar products. You might want to steer clear of sanitizers with the ingredients below:
- Triclosan– linked to reduced fertility and multiple cancers
- Quaternary ammonium– tied to asthma, chronic dermatitis and toxicity to aquatic life
- Alcohol– drying and fatal if ingested by toddlers
You won’t find any of these in CleanWell Botanical Hand Sanitizing sprays and wipes. The wipes are particularly great for classrooms because they can also be used to wipe down surfaces like desktops. One of my child’s teachers requested sanitizing products on her holiday wish list so I’ll be sending some Cleanwell products in for her! I’m glad she’s being proactive about keeping her students healthy at school!
I love CleanWell’s Hand Sanitizer Spray because it’s so portable and easy to use. Just spray on your hands, rub and you’re done! Since there’s no alcohol it doesn’t sting my winter-dry hands nor does it contribute to the dryness! The Orange Vanilla one is my favorite! I keep one in my car and one in my coat pocket. I’m a substitute para educator so I’m also working at schools with lots of children and runny noses! Cleanwell is helping me stay healthy.
All CleanWell products are made with Thymol, an active, botanically derived ingredient that’s a natural antiseptic and breaks down quickly, so it doesn’t harm our ecosystem. It kills 99.9% of household germs so it’s just as effective as other products that are harsh and toxic. You can find CleanWell products on Amazon or use the store locator to find a retailer near you that carries them. Find out more about these and other CleanWell products at www.CleanWellToday.com.
