How the Purell 30 Day Challenge Changed Our Clean Routine

It has been about 30 days since I started the Purell 30 Day Challenge in my home. I have to say, I have noticed some really positive changes in both my cleanliness and my kids. I have the larger bottle of Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer by my back door in the kitchen. I have noticed that not only do I stop and use it after feeding the dogs, handling dirty laundry or putting the dirty dishes in the sink, but the kids stop by and use it after using the bathroom. Even though they wash their hands, I am grateful for the extra sanitizing of their hands.

The 30 day challenge was fun. We aimed to use the product at least 3 times a day to see if it would make a difference. I seriously think it did. First of all, the available pump in the kitchen, a central place in the house, encouraged all of us to use it. In addition, the realization that our hands did seem cleaner and that we would not be spreading germs became a huge conversation here. It was a great conversation started on the value of cleaner hands and a cleaner house.

With Back to School happening in less than two weeks here, I wanted to make sure that the good habits we have developed during the summer continue. So I love the travel sized Purell Advanced Care with the colorful get on it. I can hook it to the kids backpacks and they can use it after the bathroom, lunch, recess and more! We all know that a school is a germy place so anything I can do to help is a good thing!

Another great idea for back to school is to include Purell in a Teacher’s Back to School Gift. Simply all it to a basket full of pencils, markers, dry erase markers (I hear these go fast in school) and more. Any teacher would be appreciative of the gesture and for the thoughtful and useful gift!
