Beating Bugs with Better Hand Washing

Hand washing is a big deal at our house. I have found that my children have less colds and stomach viruses now that they have better hand washing habits.

Just this morning my son was telling me that one of the little things he really wants is his own hand sanitizer. Maybe someday soon, kid!

I would love to try dial’s foaming hand wash!

I would love to win we go thru handsoap like crazy here.

I would love to win the soap!! We go through a lot of soap around here!

We fight this battle all the time. I have tried numerous kinds of soap, signs up on the walls, an dreading books about germs. I would love to try some foamy soap.

My son walks in the door from kindergarten and immediately walks to the sink to wash his hands. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop him from getting strep throat two weeks ago…Guess I need to teach him to not touch his face while he’s at school!

We go through soap like crazy! The foaming soap works so much better with my little ones.

This would be a great giveaway for us with our little one! He’s 2 and 1/2 months old so I think handwashing will be especially crucial for all his caregivers this winter. Thanks for a great giveaway.

great soap

We are dirty people so send some to me,please!

Boy, I sure could use this. We are always trying to keep germs away by washing our hands!

I’m in! Washing hands is SOOO important. Thank you for the opportunity to win! I was told recently that Dial (which IS what we use) is the best antibacterial soap and this from a doctor.

I’m pretty anal when it comes to hand washing too! It really does make a big difference. I’d love to be entered.

A great way to combat the signs of sickness or ever to PREVENT bad sickness is to moniter your childs diet. No processed sugar, no startches. No fruit snacks, no french fries and no goldfishes. Its tough, but worth it for your childs health.

Put 3-5 drops of peroxide in thier ears and let sit for 30 secs. to 10 min. This is an excellent way of fighting germs.

My son LOVES to wash his hands. He’s only two, but he is always in the bathroom cleaning his hands.

With a home child care we are ALWAYS washing our hands!!

Cool contest! I do the hand sanitizer on everyone’s hands after we leave somewhere but I need to do better.

Foaming soap is so much easier to use for cleaning little ones.

You can never have too much soap!

I’m lucky enough to have three kids who love to wash their hands, even a little too much. They love the foaming soap so this would be great for them.

Hand washing has been a big deal in this house since about 2 years ago when we headed into our first winter with 3 premie babies in the house. We escaped RSV that first season thanks in part to good hand washing… and lots of luck!

Our baby is two months old and we are always washing our hands in our house…especially now that cold and flu season is on its way! By the way, loved Jackson’s video! He’s been trained well:)

I’m a huge hand washing advocate in our house, too! It’s second nature to the kids now — they just KNOW, even at 2 and 4. My oldest is even asking his teachers at church to “please help him wash his hands” before he has snack.

Thanks for the contest!

That’s a great giveaway… and contest. I would love to win this because you never have too much soapl :))

My sons get soooo tired of me harping on them to wash their hands!

I could use the soap- I go into lots of classrooms and would love to slather the kids hands in it!

I keep forgeting to make video with my girls

Oh we’re handwashing and santizing fanatics around here–it started with my daughters 3 month stay in the NICU when she was born–I washed my hands and sanitized them so much they bled. Now we have to extra diligent to avoid the common germs that could really put her back in the hospital with lung complications! Love the video too!

Removes dirt and germs in seconds! Great for hands!

Handwashing is very important and the kids in daycare and school have to wash their hands a bunch of times a day which is great! I don’t even have to remind my kiddos, they are always wanting to wash their hands thanks to school!! I would love to try the Dial soap!

Being the germ-a-phobe that I am…this would be like Christmas for me! lol (how sad!)

Love the foaming handwash. My daughter just entered preschool so we’re working on ingraining in her little head just how important good hand washing techique is!

Yes please!
Perfect time of year for this giveaway. (back to school season;)
Thanks.

Winter is approaching fast, and so is flu and colds season, so we could sure use all the Dial soap we can get! Thanks!

Sounds like a great giveaway that we can use at church and home.

Ever since I had my daughter I have become hand washing obsessed. I could really use this. Thanks

My three year old would wash her hands all day if I let her. The foaming soaps are always easier and less messy too!

I just stumbled across your site somehow. It is great to see a Canadian site like this! I am not a mom yet but will be soon. We are in the process to adopt a baby girl and hope to have her home sometime in the next year.
Off to check out more of your site.

I’m big on hand washing, and foaming soap is so much more fun for the kids!

We could use some more soap as we enter flu season.

i hate when my little ones are sick too - we wash our hands a ton!

I love soap….is that weird?! I stock up on it whenever it’s on sale!! LoL….if my husband ever looked in the cupboards, he’d wonder why I have SO MUCH soap! (laundry, hand, dish…)

We need some help from all those winter bugs! The kids love foaming soap and do not complain as much about washing their hands as much with the foaming soap!

I’d love to win!

While I only have 2 little ones at home, I’ll soon be coming into contact with well over 100 middle school kids each day, so I need all the germ-fighting power I can muster! Here’s hoping!

they learn by example- and don’t think I have ever actually had to tell them wash again- I have to remind my husband more

Hey, He’s so cute! What a neat commercial you’ve made! Good job.

4 sets of dirty hands = lot’s of soap!!! please count us in….thanks :O)

My family could use this.

janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com

I would love to have this at my house! With two kids who can be very messy this would be great.

Love your video! Not fair that you can’t enter. I would love to win a carton of your Dial Hand Soap. We go through a lot of it in this house. Maybe, I have made my two sons obsessive compulsive. Just kidding. Please add my name to your drawing. I always appreciate it…..Cindi

Working in a doctors office I wash my hands at least 20 times a day. Its the best way to avoid transmission of viruses.

i’m a huge germophobe. i don’t know how many times i wash my hands in a day but i’m afraid to count!

I just love this foaming hand wash. It’s fantastic and doesn’t gum up the counter like regular soap!

Hope I win, I have 4 kids, lots of handwashing!

Great product! Hope that I win this - very useful

Wonderful give away! Especially with busy kids!

Hey, cold & flu season is upon us & the very best way to fight it is by diligent hand washing! Count me in, who couldn’t use extra soap!

My daughter hears me tell her to wash the “tops, bottoms and in-betweens, please!”

Thanks!

Everybody could use more soap! Thanks for the link to the website - anything that instills how important it is to wash hands is wonderful.

I know that everyone used to have their kids wash up before dinner what happened to that?
I dont’ have kids of my own but I watch my nieces and nephews a LOT, and they know I am make them wash up ALL THE TIME! I know where those hands have been, picking feet, picking noses, and places we won’t go!
It sets a good habit for later in life so they do it naturally!

National Hand Washing Day would start at my house. I keep a hand sanitizer at the computer so when the sneezes start, the hands get cleaned. Washing hands is almost a ritual here. I try not to become so hysterical each time someone needs to wash their hands, but an ounce or less of soap can help.

We just bought this stuff when the after-hurricane colds hit our home, to ensure they didn’t get spread. Love this stuff! Would love to win! And thank you for sharing this contest, am going to enter theirs as well!

I would love to win the hand soap. Did you know antibacterial handsoap can be used to wash your face and helps fight acne. My daughter’s pediatrician told us that.

We have six kids, so do lots of handwashing at our house. Soap is alwyas needed.

Just in time for cold and flu season! I always make it a point to have liquid hand soap in each of the bathrooms and in the kitchen. I’m a lucky mom. My boys love washing their hands and being clean. Thanks for the opportunity!

completelyme @ gmail dot com

Oh, yes! We need this for sure with our two sets of twins under the age of four!

Thanks for promoting good hygiene!

My 2 yr old son is all about hand washing…he will grab something that resembles a “bottle” and pretend like he is pouring it in his hands and then with the most serious look on his face, he “washes” his hands. It is SO cute!!!

We go through lots of soap here! Thank you for this giveaway!

Always cleaning up after dogs, cats, feeding birds. Handwashing frequently. NEED SOAP!
What keeps happening to my entries? They disappear??

i love this kind of soap!
thanks for the chance

love this stuff…thanks!

LOL Jackson is hilarious. He sure has it down, doesn’t he?

We could use the soap!
bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com

I could really use this prize. Count me in!

We stress the importance of washing hands to everyone we know. Especially during cold and flue season.

I love Dial!!

Thank you for the great giveaway!

This is really nice.

great giveaway

Could really use this in my home. Thanks for the chance to win.

Please enter me in your giveaway. Thank you.

Great prize that will certainly be useful, please enter me into this fantastic giveaway, thanks

This is the only soap I’ll use so I can never, ever have to much of it stocked up in the house!

I agree that hand washing is very important. However, I’ll opt out of your contest. Anti-bacterial soaps can do more harm than good (http://www.naturallifemagazine.com/0602/antibacterial_soap.htm). People should use regular soaps, not the anti-bacterial kind.

I wrote a related post on Germs vs. Chemicals: http://phdinparenting.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/germs-versus-chemicals/

I could definitely use this! Thanks.

I’m always in need of antibacterial soap. Thanks!

Who can’t use soap; especially new and free!!

Thanks for the chance. I really appreciate it.

Would love to win - thanks for the contests because they’re great!!

Apparently DD#1’s class at preschool learned a song to sing while washing their hands. She can’t remember all the words but I don’t sing it right. That is quite apparent. But she loves standing on the step stool and ‘doing the soap’ and anything else that will keep bed time from getting closer. this is a great opportunity to help out and to help kids create good habits. Thanks.

When you have kids…you can never have enough soap.

Count me in please!

i love it

Will donate to local elementary school if I win.

We go throught hand soap like crazy. I would love to win this!

count me in cold and flu season is coming thanks.

With flu season and colds appearing everywhere. It is important to wash those hands and arms and face and nose.

I always need more hand soap. Thanks for the giveaway!

I always teach the little ones to sing Happy Birthday as you wash your hands. You know you’re done washing when the song is over!

Thanks for the chance to win.

We strive for clean hands at our house. This would be a great help.

We sing a song while we wash our hands. That way I know they get clean.

Proper handwashing is such a big prevention during cold and flu season. I would love to try this soap!

Always having the soap in a pump bottle makes hand washing easier for the kids.They love to use the pump.

I uploaded a video, here is my girls campaign page. I hope you will vote for them

Great giveaway. Dial makes high quality products. Thanks for the chance.

we are trying to get my kids into the habit of washing their hands constantly. i love dial products and would love to win

There are few things that will make me sick to my stomach like being in a public restroom and realizing that someone is leaving without washing their hands! Maybe they should post some of those videos on continuous running loops in the restroom.

Great site with some great ideas!

Hand washing really is the single best thing we can do to prevent getting sick - thanks for reminding us to emphasize this important habit.

I tell the kids to wash their hands often. It seems to work.

everybody get out there and wash your hands thanks

Oh yeah, we do a lot of handwashing here too, especially at this time of year! Thanks for the contest!

Jackson is so funny!!!! I love that he only washed his hands for about 3 seconds of the entire video.

Hand soap is in high-demand at our house, with three homeschooling kiddos and a messy husband. LOL.

with two young boys we go through a lot of this stuff!

I love Dial Foaming handwash — we use it at home. My hubby has several health problems and it’s the best soap, by far, for him to keep his hands clean.

Thanks so much!

It’s so great that you’ve established the importance of hand washing to your son!

What a wonderful prize!

Good Luck to all

What a useful prize! I’d love to be your winner.

I love using Dial products around our house. We go through a lot of soap around here with a 6 year old and changing newborn diapers so this would definitely come in handy. Thanks so much for the great opportunity!

furygirl3132[at]comcast[dot]net

I’d love this. Thanks.

We have 7 people in our house and go through soap pretty fast!

I would love to win this prize.

Suds away!

I am a nurse in a office and we do alot of handwashing and it has spread to our home.

My house needs the dial complete as it not only washes the germs and dirt off, it also softens your hands. So no excuse but mom I’m washing my skin off by washing so much as some little kids were heard saying in a public restroom.
Thank you for giving my family a chance to try a new product and kill bugs and germs too.

camper223@live.com

I’d soooo love to put this win to good use!!

Love Dial!

My kids just started preschool and do I ever need this soap!

I’ve worked with my son for months to get him to understand the importance of handwashing. We wash every time before we eat and after potty, of course, but I find him washing his hands all the time….I hope I haven’t created a monster!

Can always use more soap with two boys! lol

I have always been a obsessive hand washer. With my new baby due any day Ive been washing everything even more! DH jokes that the baby will come out of the womb and ask to be carried immediately to the sink to wash his hands as well! hahaha! But especially with all the dirty diapers I am about to touch I would LOVE to win some extra Dial soap to help me in washing away all those germs!

washing hands is so important especially with cold season coming up

Great giveaway this time of year!

We keep Dial (Soothing White Tea at the moment) by the kitchen sink for washing before handling food.

Cold and flu season makes handwashing even more important.

Can’t have too much handsoap around the house…

My grandchildren think their hands are not wash unless they use the soap in a pump bottle.
Thank you for this great healthy contest and prize!

You can never have too much soap. Especially in the house of a clean freak!
