I am not sure how many times a day I am wiping dirty faces and hands...it definitely makes a mom's job full-time though. Sometimes, I lose count as to just how many times I wash MY hands. Goodness, I have two in diapers (trying to potty train one) and I am constantly washing my hands after visits to the changing table or potty. Children sure to require alot of hand washing and it is something that we are trying to teach them to do. Before you leave the bathroom, PLEASE wash your hands. I think every bathroom should have a sign on the mirror or door to remind users to practice good hygiene.
One of the toughest things to deal with is going out in public and not having a reliable place to wash your hands. Germs are crawling everywhere and are present on any surface...it is frightening if you really thing about it. I am not a germ-a-phobe BUT I do like to try and prevent the spread of germs if I can help it. When my children are sick, we stay home. If I know someone is sick, I don't go out of my way to talk to them or visit with them. It is just that simple. Having small children seems to make us a magnet for sickness but I do my best to keep them healthy. Having plenty of hand sanitizer on hand is one way I fend off germs and today, I am going to introduce you to CleanSmart...a new hand sanitizer that is totally kid-safe, alcohol free and a powerful germ killer.


I love anything that is natural particularly because I am a mom and use things on my children. The more natural it is, the better I feel about using it on my children. CleanSmart has definitely peaked my interest and I was thrilled with the opportunity to share it with you today!
So, for this review I was sent some CleanSmart Hand Sanitizer and was really excited to give it a try. This hand sanitizer comes in two forms...a gel and spray. The gel is more like a traditional hand sanitizer feel and the spray is more of a hydrating sanitizer.
One thing I noticed right away was that this hand sanitizer is the PERFECT size for on the go. It will easily fit in my glove compartment, diaper bag, purse, kitchen cupboard and changing table. I am constantly taking hand sanitizer with me when I go out and it is so great to have compact sized bottles to stuff in a bag and run out the door. Kids need this stuff at the drop of a hat and I am really glad that it is easily transportable.
As you can see in the photo above, I have a good amount of the gel hand sanitizer in the palm of my hand...yet it just looks like water. Honestly, that is what it felt like too! No scents or greasy feel at all, it rubbed in easily and absorbed quickly. This is another factor that I look for when picking out hand sanitizer. Sticky sanitizer drives me crazy but this wasn't sticky at all.
I had never heard of Hypochlorous until now and didn't realize it is something that our bodies use to combat viruses and bacteria. During this cold and flu season, it is such a good idea to have CleanSmart on hand (no pun intended...ha ha!) to keep those nasty germs away. I am definitely going to be carrying CleanSmart with me wherever I go...especially to places where we are going to be around a lot of people. Parties, grocery stores, church, play dates, etc. I will be armed and ready to help my family stay just a little bit healthier this season.

So, if you are interersted in checking out CleanSmart, it is only purchasable online but will be available in stores after the first of the new year. 2 ounce bottles of the spray and the gel retail for just $2.50 and 8 ounce bottles retail for $5.00. Visit CleanSmart today and order your supply for the cold and flu season...you will be so glad that you did!
