As you may know, I was struck down hard with the flu last week. Hubs was working diligently to keep himself and Red well, containing me in the bedroom, washing ALL the laundry and wiping every surface down with LYSOL wipes.
Wiping down our surfaces isn’t anything new – I use LYSOL wipes in the bathroom, the kitchen, and all common surfaces. LYSOL makes sure that we’re able to take our counters past clean – to the healthy type of clean to keep us healthy. (It worked – no one else got the flu!!) Hubs wiped down the usual suspects like countertops and sinks, but also doorknobs, appliance handles and light switches!
Everyone knows how to clean – wipe, rinse, etc. But LYSOL and I want to make sure you know how to disinfect (and about healthing)- especially on the heels of cold and flu season. Use a disinfectant product and clean every surface – even the nooks and crannies where germs can hide. Make it a family activity with specified tasks for age groups. When everyone is finished, make sure to wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or use the proper sanitizer.
To help spread the word about Healthing, LYSOL and Giuliana Rancic have partnered with select YMCAs to demonstrate Healthing. At each location, LYSOL will be providing hands-on education about their products and improved hygiene habits in your homes, while making it fun for children, as well. LYSOL will be donating products to the YMCAs, along with a one-year membership to a very deserving family. Call your local branch to see if you can participate!
As you can see, LYSOL goes beyond its many products to provide education and motivation to keep a healthy home and family. They meet with schools to promote healthy habits, providing educational programs to new moms caring for newborns, as well as working with organizations like National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners.
