Let’s face it, no matter how much you love your offspring, overall, kids are kinda gross. They get dirty, puke, poop, try to eat stuff off the floor and if they go to school or daycare, they pick up and share even more disgusting germs, and off course they share all of these bacteria with mom and dad too. 

Keeping kids, and all of your family healthy is a challenge, and while there is no magic cure to kill all these germs, there are lots of things you can do to minimize them and keep your family as healthy as possible. Cleaning regularly, sanitizing toys and using hand sanitizer can all make a big difference.

Our family has a busy schedule coming up during the next few weeks that we really need to be healthy for, so it was great timing that we’ve had the opportunity to try out Prefense Hand Sanitizer.

This silica based sanitizer goes on smoother than traditional sanitizers, and doesn’t dry out your hands  It does protect for 24 hours, or 10 hand washings which is really great for those of us with little ones still in diapers and Prefense protects against staph, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and more. Prefense also is easy on the budget too. Because one spray lasts all day, the 1.5 oz Prefense Botanicals Hand Sanitizer offers 120 applications, costing only $.08 per day, compared to $1.20 per day with alcohol hand sanitizers.

We’ve been using Prefense for a couple weeks now, and so far (knock on wood) everyone’s been healthy. I like that you only have to apply it once a day, and it’s also not greasy and slimy like many hand sanitizers. We’ll definitely keep using this in the future.
