December 15, 2010 by Momstart 1,016 Comments

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.

Say Good bye to allergy season Lysol Giveaway

April 14, 2010 by Momstart 223 Comments

Lysol is the germ fighting king around my house. If you have been a follower for even just the shortest amount of time, then you know my family has been living with MRSA. Well, I went out and bought a ton of Lysol products to help us rid our house of the ugly vermin. Then shortly after I made all those purchases Lysol contacted me and asked me if I wanted to post a review and giveaway about using Lysol to fight allergy season. Well you can imagine how quickly I responded because we are going through Lysol products left and right here. Did you know?

Allergy flare-ups are often attributed to the allergens outside your front door. The same allergens are found on surfaces inside 75 million homes across America? According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), some of the most common indoor allergens, include dust mites, mold and household pets.

Tips on fighting colds and allergies:

· Reduce Pet Dander – Decrease your exposure to pet dander by keeping your pet out of your bedroom, since this is typically the room in which people spend a majority of their time.

· Wrap Things Up – Put fabric covers over common dust mite hideouts such as pillows, mattresses and sofa cushions and wash bedding often.

· Clear the Air – Prevent pollen from entering your home by keeping windows and doors closed during peak allergy

· season. Air filters are also considered useful for helping clear the air of lingering allergens triggers.

· Wipe Down Surfaces – Be sure to frequently clean hard surfaces to get rid of allergens in your home. Use LYSOL Disinfecting Wipes to remove 90% of pollen particles and dust mite debris, in addition to killing 99.9% of illness-causing bacteria. Also use LYSOL Disinfectant Spray to kill the source of mold allergens on hard, non-porous surfaces.

· Avoid Mold Spores – To help reduce mold: use an air conditioner in humid climates and avoid the use of humidifiers in dry climates. Also, run the bathroom fan or open the window when showering.

· Talk to Your Doctor – It is important to talk to your doctor about whether or not allergy testing, medications, and/or other measures are recommended.

Lysol wants to keep the MRSA, H1N1 “swine flu” away #giveaway

September 30, 2009 by Momstart 426 Comments

The Predicament:

The Lysol brand has teamed up with Dr. Laura Jana, a pediatrician, mother of three school aged-children and owner of an educational daycare center. She would like to share her back to school checklist with moms to help them prepare their children for a healthy and happy school year. Her tips include:

The Health administration is predicting a very serious cold and flu season, so teach your children about healthy hygiene habits before they go back to school and get exposed to classroom germs, like MRSA or H1N1 virus. Check out the new educational Web Site for kids, developed in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at www.oopkids.com. This kid-friendly Web site is designed to educate children about healthy hygiene habits and safety routines.

– This Web site is an expansion from an existing health campaign with the CDC – Ounce of Prevention

Send school germs packing by encouraging your children to drop their book bags, take off their shoes and leave their coats at the door when they walk in. Send them straight to the sink to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds (long enough to sing Happy Birthday twice!) while you spray their bags with Lysol Disinfectant Spray to help kill bacteria they may have picked up from the school bus, the playground or the classroom.

– Lysol Disinfectant Spray effectively kills 99.9% of bacteria on soft surfaces, including the family couch! (Press release available upon request)

– For more information, check out the Lysol Back to School Information Center at

The Solution:

Besides giving you medical advice that I am not qualified to give I can tell you to be smart. Keep surfaces clean, cover your mouth with your arm not your hand, wash your hands and disinfect toys. Some of the best advice I was given was given to my by my grandmother. She told me that I need to not be so hard on myself when it comes to keeping the house clean. I have to toddlers and they are a handful, (she would know she had six). Just disinfect the toys once a week with Lysol or bleach. Also, with kids back in school, parents need be prepared for what’s being sent home with their children. And I don’t mean homework – germs. This was actually one of the topics we talked about in MOMS Club. It’s that time of year. Cold and flu season.

Lysol wants us to have a healthy school year, so we’d like to offer you expert advice and a reader giveaway.

Two lucky readers will receive:

a 12.5 oz Lysol Disinfectant Spray and two 40 ct. canisters of Lysol Disinfecting Wipes

(one is to give to a teacher)
