disinfecting-wipes-4in1

Having a new puppy and accidents all over my hard wood floor, I am using Lysol Disinfecting wipes left and right. I’m also using them every day to clean out Abby’s crate. She’s just a puppy and can’t seem to go longer than 30 minutes without making a mess in her crate. So I trust Lysol to get rid of all those nasty germs that I do not want my kids around.

It’s also cold and flu season and with Zoe in preschool she’s bringing home every germ under the sun. Health is a big priority for me in my house, because with all my traveling, I seem to be the one always getting sick. Zoe brings it home and I get sick. The neighbors come over and I get sick. So I’m taking to sanitizing things a lot more often. I guess, I’m finally taking my grandmother’s advice and doing it at least once a week. I should have listened to her sooner. To make it even easier for moms like me to help stop the spread of germs this cold & flu season, LYSOL is offering Buy 1 Get 1 Free packs of LYSOL Disinfecting Wipes and LYSOL Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes at major retailers nationwide through January 2011.

  1. My favorite cleaning tip is just splitting tasks up so I don’t feel overwhelmed by it. I have 3 bathrooms to clean so I will clean one bathroom each day. I have 2 floors to vacuum so one day I will vacuum the upstairs and another day I will vacuum the downstairs. It makes the task of cleaning much more manageable.

  107. My cleaning tip is to focus on 1 room at a time. I have 3 boxes handy: 1 for giveaway items, 1 for items that belong in another room and 1 for garbage. My family is due for a big decluttering session. I have the week off between Christmas and New Year so we are going to attack one room a day and then end each day with a special treat and a movie. We are actually looking forward to it. It will be great time to spend together as a family. Thank you for the giveaway. Would love to win. Merry Christmas!

  520. Don’t have ONE towel in the bathrooms for drying hands. One hand drying towel means SHARED germs and viruses. Buy hand towels in several different colors and assign a color to each family member, for instance, Dad’s is blue, daughter’s is pink etc. Hang one of each color on the towel bar and everyone has their own towel for hand drying. Additional benefit… when you see a visibly soiled towel, you’ll know immediately who is not washing their hands well.
