Permalink Review & Giveaway of Lysol Products
Most people consider their bathrooms the germiest room in their home, and they're probably right. But there are other places that germs lurk, some which we really don't think about.
Both the Lysol Sanitizing Wipes and Lysol Disinfectant Spray work great to eliminate germs, in your bathroom and all those other places.
Each pre-moistened disposable wipe kills 99.9% of germs -- even the bacteria that causes odors -- where you use it. No bottles, no sponges, no mess. Effective disinfecting has never been faster or easier.
The Micro-lock fiber construction of the cloths help trap those icky germs.
I like the design of the lid. If you need to reach in to adjust the cloths, the outer cover is easy to take off, meaning no pinched fingers (yes, that has happened to me before with other brands...).
Not only can you use these in the bathroom but in the kitchen as well. (Although they are not recommended for use on polished, bare wood or porous surfaces).
You can imagine all the uses these would have in a classroom! When in the stores last week I took a peek at the school supply lists and there were many schools that wanted parents to purchase them.
I used these in our church nursery last week when doing a quick cleaning. They were very practical for that purpose, and I know that the diaper changing stations are free from lingering germs.
Lysol Disinfecting SprayThis is an EPA registered disinfectant that kills more than 99.9% of illness causing bacteria and viruses including H1N1 and the common cold.
Door knobs, light switches, and toilet handles have long been places people have sprayed Lysol. (I remember my mom spraying down door handles with Lysol when I was young!)
Something new and interesting I learned when I was sent samples of these Lysol products to write this review, is that Lysol Disinfecting Spray can be used on soft fabrics as well.
I went to town around our home with the spray. Bedspreads, shower curtain, handbags, shopping totes and shoes were all sprayed. The Clean Linen scent wasn't hard on the nose either.
Backpacks, gym clothes, oh there are so many ways you can eliminate the germs using Lysol Disinfecting Spray.
They even have a "To Go" sized spray, which you all know is coming with me when we travel!

Simple hand washing is one of the most effective ways to stop the spread of germs-whether you are at home or out and about. Every time we touch something or someone, we can transfer germs to and from our hands. After that, it's easy for germs to pass into our bodies when we touch our mouth, eyes or nose. Washing removes most germs from our hands.
If we remember to wash our hands at certain important times during the day, we can substantially reduce our chances of becoming ill:
* Before eating or preparing food.
* Immediately after handling raw foods, such as poultry.
* After visiting the toilet or changing a diaper.
* After contact with blood or body fluids (e.g., vomit, nasal secretions, saliva).
* After touching animals or their toys and leashes.
* After touching a contaminated area (e.g., trash can, cleaning cloth, drain, soil).
* Before dressing a wound, giving medicines, or inserting contact lenses.
* Whenever hands look dirty.

Only products registered as sterilants, disinfectants, sanitizers or antiseptics kill germs. Good to remember ~~ since I am intend to kill germs and not just "move them about".

I learned that: Viruses are spread or transmitted 4 ways:
* via the air in the form of very small droplets expelled from a cough or sneeze,
* by direct contact with infectious material such as respiratory or fecal material, or by person to person contact,
* by vectors, (bugs, mosquitoes, ticks, etc),
* by indirect contact such as touching surfaces that are contaminated.

I learned.....According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick."
