Ask The Expert–Ask Lysol Cold & Flu Season Questions 50.00 AMEX Giveaway

February 26, 2011 by Momstart 581 Comments

Did you know flu and cold activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. in January or February? I had no idea, but I’ve been sick for two weeks now and I was sick in January too. Oh, I’m so sick of the flu (and constant colds) already and so I’m excited to be working with Lysol to learn and share more information about the flu and prevention. The timing of the flu is unpredictable and can vary from season to season but seasonal flu activity can occur as late as May (I sure I don’t get it again) – are we ever safe?! There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding cold and flu…so to help us understand the key facts we need to know about them: the symptoms they cause, how they are different, and — most importantly — how you can help to protect yourself, your family, and those around you from spreading germs, Lysol has created a free online community (Lysol.com) where you can get awesome tips and advice from other community members and health experts.

In fact, on Tuesday, March 1st Dr. Laura Jana (nationally acclaimed pediatrician and mother of 3) will be answering your Cold & Flu Season questions right here on Mom Start!

If you can’t make the video chat, you can still ask questions by going to the Facebook page and leaving your questions in advance (and getting a chance to win a gift card) then tune in on your own time and watch Dr. Jana answer your questions or visit the Facebook page to share your own tips and learn what works for others!

You should go ahead and “like” the official Lysol page and submit a question for Dr. Jana on the chat topic: cold and flu.

Lysol Disinfecting Wipes 200.00 American Express Gift Card Giveaway

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. 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. You can even give one to your child’s teacher to help keep classrooms germ free!

Lysol disinfecting wipes are for use in your home and locations around your community, such as schools, LYSOL Disinfecting Wipes kill 99.9% of germs to help keep your family healthy during cold & flu season so you can do more with your kids. LYSOL Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes have a scrubbing side that cleans tough messes like soap scum and grease. Use LYSOL Wipes to kill viruses and bacteria like Influenza A, H1N1 and E. coli on commonly touched hard surfaces. Don’t forget to check out the Lysol the community and new Facebook pages.
