Recently we celebrated my daughter’s 6th birthday with a party at our house and naturally it was a rainy day. That meant that there were 12 children and all of the parents in our house so this was the perfect opportunity to use a box of Kleenex Hand Towels.
What are Kleenex Hand Towels? They are a fresh clean towel that pop-ups from a nicely designed box that you display in your bathroom or even on the kitchen counter top. What I appreciate is that the sheets are free of inks, dyes and fragrances. When I was young, my mom always put out a nice pile of napkins on the bathroom sink when guests were coming. These napkins always had some nice little colorful design on them but these are a better option. They are also sturdy so I have taught my children that after washing, they can wipe the sink as there always seems to be water on the edges or on the counter.
Normally, we have a hand towel hung in the bathroom and with four of us in the house, it usually lasts a two days or so before I switch it out. If I really think about it, most kids (never mind the adults) do not even bother washing the recommended length of time with soap so we really are sharing germs aren’t we? Yuck! And that is why I am Kleenex Song Ambassador as part of a campaign with The Motherhood and Kleenex. While researching about hand towel useage, I was startled by the CDC facts about hand cleaning, drying and germs.
*Did you know that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends drying Hands with a single-use towel to help prevent the spread of germs? That’s right, they state that drying of hands with a reusable cloth towels is not recommended and should be avoided.
*Leave a comment telling me what else you do at home to help prevent the spread of germs.*
For 25 bonus entries:
*Make a video of your family either singing the song while washing your hands or listening to the song while you wash your hands. The video needs to be posted on one of the following: The Motherhood Hand Drying Circle OR SavortheThyme YouTube Channel and I need a comment with a link to the video on this post.

i keep the toilet seat down and make sure it's down with each flush. Never know how the power of the flush can send particle flying to land on your toothbrush

We wash hands often, take lots of vitamins C and D, and try to cover our coughs! Easier said than done with little ones 🙂

we wash our hands a lot, and use chlorox wipes. I keep hand sanitizer in the cars for quick clean ups!

I place Gold Bond Ultimate Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer in my little girls room. Especially in winter before she goes to bed. I can be sue even though she washed her hands that they are a little more germ free and less chapped from teh colds and from sucking her thumb.
Mommy Niri says
Wash hands often but don't indulge in antibacterials unless we go to playgrounds, malls or other indoor playspaces. I do make an effort to constantly clean up kitchen and bathroom sinks with an eco friendly cleaner. The toilet gets a good disinfecting clean often too.
