Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System Giveaway
Sounds funny, but when I use a public restroom, I'm always just a little more relieved (pardon the pun!) when I see the facilities are all automatic. I never want to touch the flush handle, soap dispenser or paper towel holders. Just thinking about the germs lurking on those things sends shivers down my spine.
Unfortunately those same germs enter my home, where we only have regular toilets and hand towels. Thanks to Reckitt Benckiser though, we now have a Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System to help keep those nasty germs at bay.
Not surprisingly, soap pumps can be the home of hundreds of bacteria. Since frequent handwashing is one of the front line ways to stop germs from being spread, it just makes sense that we'd want to keep as many germs away from our soap as possible.
That's the beauty of the Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System. Place your hand underneath and the sensor recognizes to dispense the soap. No adding to the germ population.
This is how you'll see the Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System packaged on the store shelves.
It includes the dispenser, hand soap and batteries, for an arv of about $9.97 at WalMart. The kits come with either a Soothing Cucumber Splash or Cleansing Green Tea & Ginger soap. The refills are available for $3.47 (8.5oz) and along with the above two scents it also comes in Refreshing Grapefruit Essence.
The Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System is easy to assemble and use.
Unlike other soaps whose active ingredient is Triclosan (an antibacterial), you'll notice that Lysol soap's active ingredient is an antiseptic. It kills 99.9% of germs. Have confidence that your germs are being washed right down the drain.
After setting it up and using it for a few days, I feel that perhaps the amount of soap dispensed is a bit more than needed. Maybe not for a 6 foot 200lb person, but I'm quite tiny, and I imagine that it would be a lot of soap for a toddler's hands.
Also be sure to remember to move the switch to off (on the back of the pump) when you're cleaning around your sink. You may have to clean more than you bargained for (like I did!) if you activate the dispenser by accident.
It's simple styling allows it to be placed by any sink in your home, be it bathroom, kitchen or laundry room. This would be a great addition to your facilities if you own a business that doesn't have installed soap dispensers.
I think the Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System is very useful to have in your home, especially during the cold and flu season. The less we need to handle, the less germs we end up spreading.

I would have to use this in my kids' bathroom. They tend to make a huge mess when trying to pump the soap so this would be awesome for them!
Thanks

This sounds like a great new product. I would definitely use it in the bathroom.
I would love to have this to use in the kitchen. I touch the raw meat then have to try to touch the soap dispenser to wash them. This would be so great.
