Beating Bugs with Better Hand Washing

October 7, 2008 by Janice

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

I am a huge hand washing advocate.

Personally, I hate being sick – and I hate having sick kids! When I hear that a classmate or playmate of my kids has a stomach bug, my own stomach tightens and turns and my palms start to sweat just a little. I instinctively have the urge to wash my kids’ hands right that second!

I am not the greatest disciplinarian, but one rule that I set when Jackson was a baby was that everyone (adults too!) washes their hands every time they come in the house.

Regular hand washing is so ingrained in Jackson that he rarely questions it.

When he arrives home with a play date, he instructs the other child, “Let’s go wash our hands!” as he drops his coat and shakes off his Crocs in the middle of the living room. (Remember I said I am not the greatest disciplinarian? But hey – at least his hands are clean!) 😉

Occasionally, as I holler at Jackson to come back and pick up his shoes, the play date will raise his eyebrow at me and question why he has to wash his hands. Before I can answer, Jackson will bellow above the sound of the running water that it is a rule in our house. The other child then shrugs his shoulders and runs off to wash up.

I breathe a little bit easier – and sometimes pick up the Crocs and the coat.

    We have the little stool next to the sink so it is easier for the kids to reach. Hand washing is huge in our house as well because my hubby has weak lungs and when he gets sick it is a long recovery for him. So when the grandkids (all seven of them) come over they know hand washing at Grandma’s is a must. Of course the parents are sticklers too.

    Thanks so much!

  10. Denise says

    October 24, 2008 at 10:29 am

    As a teacher, I used to get so annoyed that my students didn’t have a place to wash their hands before lunch. Ugh! Handwashing is the best defense from getting a nasty bug.

  19. Shelly says

    October 24, 2008 at 10:25 am

    Our house is all about the handwashing. I love Dial soap – the gold bar smell reminds me of my grandfather – he asks for that every year for Christmas 🙂

  20. Dottie L Hubbard says

  31. B. Park says

    October 23, 2008 at 8:21 pm

    I hate flu season with a passion! And though it’s always important to wash your hands, it is even more important right now. My son sometimes rushes the hand washing, but he loves the foaming soaps and this would really come in handy for us right now. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  32. Andrew says

    October 23, 2008 at 7:50 pm

    what a good story, thank you

  33. Mollie G. says

    October 23, 2008 at 7:34 pm

    Our youngest is autistic, so we’ve worked for years on self-care skills, including basic hygiene stuff like washing hands — now, if we run out of soap, we definitely HEAR about it. So you are potentially helping preserve a certain peace of mind around here, thanks!

  34. flared0ne says

    October 23, 2008 at 7:30 pm

    Particularly pertinent since there have been several recent reports of MRSA infection (one fatal) — so good timing. Thanks for the opportunity!

  35. Joanna Smith says

    October 23, 2008 at 6:49 pm

    I am a bit OCD so I too am a huge hand washing advocate! I think I have rubbed off on my husband and kids because they too wash their hands alot. The kids don’t mind washing their hands when I ask them to, which is several times a day, I think they love the smell of the soap (I usually buy the fruity smelling ones) and also as long as I let them “play with the water” a little while they are washing up! I figure you have to pick and choose your battles and if playing with the water a little is the way to ensure they wash their hands, then I don’t mind wiping up behind them, it is only water!! We go through so much hand soap in our home that it would be so nice to have a backup supply for a while to ensure we have enough to get us through cold and flu season which is quickly approaching us!

  36. Suzanne Lewis says

    October 23, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    Hand washing is so important. Thanks for doing this!

    I get that feeling in my stomach and my hands get a little sweaty too Janice! I hate that feeling! Thanks for the post, it is something that makes a big difference at our house with the illnesses.

  39. Middy says

    October 23, 2008 at 6:15 pm

    I think handwashing is very important and feel that if more people would take the time to wash their hands properly, we could help eliminate common sicknesses that are linked to unsanitary hygiene practices.

  40. Valeen says

    October 23, 2008 at 6:00 pm

  60. Christie says

    October 23, 2008 at 12:23 am

    I definitely relate to the aversion to sick classmates story. You want to wrap your kids in sterile cotton before sending them out.

  61. Liz Sawyer says

    October 23, 2008 at 12:21 am

    This gives new meaning to the phrase “all washed up!” Hooray for clean hands!

  87. Christina says

    October 20, 2008 at 4:27 am

    My cable TV work in the past led me to be out among a LOT of people and one always ends up shaking hands, and I am not averse to this but realize how many times I’ve gotten colds and flus through this mere gesture! Even now I do many things (art shows, journalism) dealing with the general public and would love to scrub with antibacterial wash!

  88. R Hicks says

    October 19, 2008 at 11:59 pm

    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!

    October 8, 2008 at 2:29 pm

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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!

    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.

  272. Lisa says

    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! 🙂

    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.

  274. karissa says

    October 8, 2008 at 9:03 am

    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!

  275. Jenn S. says

    October 8, 2008 at 8:58 am

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

  276. Bailey's Leaf says

    October 8, 2008 at 8:40 am

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

    Thanks!

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

    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!

    October 8, 2008 at 2:09 am

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

    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

    October 7, 2008 at 11:16 pm

    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

  290. Amanda says

    October 7, 2008 at 11:02 pm

    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!

  291. Nancy says

    October 7, 2008 at 10:34 pm

    I’d love to win!

  292. Hollie P. says

    October 7, 2008 at 10:22 pm

    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! 🙂

  293. Maria says

    October 7, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    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…)

  294. Kristan says

    October 7, 2008 at 9:37 pm

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

  295. Stacy says

    October 7, 2008 at 9:23 pm

  296. Shasta says

    October 7, 2008 at 9:20 pm

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

    October 7, 2008 at 5:27 pm

  311. Sheila says

  312. Jennifer Stewart says

    October 7, 2008 at 5:21 pm

    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!

  313. Angelina Lucas says

    October 7, 2008 at 5:15 pm

    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!

  315. Noreen says

    October 7, 2008 at 1:32 pm

    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!

    October 7, 2008 at 1:07 pm

    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!

  322. Ashley - The Adventures of Supermom says

    October 7, 2008 at 12:54 pm

  325. Jessica Stier says

    October 7, 2008 at 12:06 pm

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

  326. Wendy says

    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.

  329. Michelle says

    October 7, 2008 at 11:27 am

  331. Carol says

    October 7, 2008 at 11:20 am

  334. Courtney says

    October 7, 2008 at 11:04 am

    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.

  335. Sarah at themommylogues says

    October 7, 2008 at 10:50 am

  336. Erin says

    October 7, 2008 at 10:43 am

    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!

  337. Kristi says

    October 7, 2008 at 10:42 am

    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.

    October 7, 2008 at 10:17 am

    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.
