Clean it Up!

So, I'm going to break some news to all of you...I don't want you to be alarmed or unnerved by this piece of information, OK?
::Clearing My Throat::
Hi. My name is Jessica. I'm a Germaphobe. I am terrified of germs, infections, and bateria invading my body and my families bodies.
Phew! There I said it, I feel a lot better now... I'm sure there are others out there just like me. Folks who refuse to touch door handles, tote hand sanitizer by the gallon, and rarely allow their children to play on public play areas. Needless to say, I'm constantly on the prowl for the perfect products to keep my family safe. With five kids under the age of three, one of whom is in preschool, and just for giggles let's throw in a husband with cancer whose immune system is compromised. HA! Lo & behold, Cleanwell Products came up with a wonderful way to keep my family happy, healthy and smelling good too! Their line of antibacterial soaps were sent to me by Parent Bloggers Network, I was intrigued immediately by the lovely aesthetic bottle. Its sleek design and pretty color looked nice on every sink in my home. The company sent all three of their scents, Orange Vanilla, Lavender Absolute, & Ginger Bergamot. Initially the scent was a bit confusing, we were trying to pinpoint exactly what it was we were smelling... It ended up being the mixture of all of the essential oils, but most prominently the Thyme. It had a very peculiar way of lingering on the skin, we all became quite used to it, but it did take a day or two.
I am absolutely enamored with the way Cleanwell has managed to make this product so friendly, not only to the environment, but to our family as well. There is not a trace of Triclosan in this product. If you pick up any household anti bacterial agent, the likely active ingredient is Triclosan. Cleanwell boasts the use of their own anti bacterial agent called Ingenium. According to the Cleanwell website "Ingenium is the only all natural antimicrobial that meets EPA & FDA standards for germ killing efficacy". "It contains no alcohol, and no harsh chemicals..." It seems to be the obvious choice.
They also have a line of sanitizing sprays that are the cat's meow... Know why? Because they're safe for my kiddos to use. I really didn't like using any of the other brands of anti bacterial products on their little hands. Especially knowing that those fingers were going directly into their mouths... I never knew which was worse, the chemical, or the germs! Now I no longer have to choose! What's even better about the product is that it's now available at my local Target stores. Run out, buy some... Stay healthy during this flu season!

I have to ask.....Why don't your kids drink milk??? Is there something vital behind that I should know??? Jacob drinks milk like there's no tomorrow.

You are great at sales, Jessica. I guess it's that dry sense of humor that does it. :)

Target is one of my favorite stores, so I'll look for the Cleanwell products next time I'm there.

Yes I am like that too, except I have a name for mine, o.c.d. It can become out of control. I was so much worse when my kids were little lol and I chilled as they got older because I didn't want them picking up my insanity.
It is good to be cautious...
Congrats on your trip you deserve it more than anyone I know!!

From one germaphobe to another...I too ADORE Cleanwell products!! I first came to know them when I bought the hand sanitizer spray at Whole Foods for our Disney World vacation...it worked great! I'll have to try the rest of the products!

hmmmm, you a germaphobe? No way...say it isn't so?!! :) Makes total sense with 5 kids. Totally.

Where can you get this amazing alcohol free hand sanitizer?? I'm in. I checked the website and while I don't know what Tri...word is. I do like the packaging and I am a freak about the way things look. I like the neat little green and white bottle and would like to get some for my purse/car/diaper bag.

You are a gem...direct me to the nearest store? AND don't tell me it's like $20 a bottle. :)

Hey Jessica! I just got caught up on your blog. Sorry I missed your call early in December... we were in Nashville. After that, began the insane Christmas rush. I know you relate. I'm so excited about your trip!!! Remember, we're here to help out your parents with the kids if they need us. Just give us a call, or stand on your front porch and holler. :)

Hi,
I reached your blog through links on several other blogs. I have read your blog a few times but never commented and I just want to say that you have some really cute kids (but I'm sure you already know that)! I decided to comment because I wanted to send you a link to an article on WebMD that I recently read (http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/features/germiest-places-america). I think you will find it interesting.
