Germs Away for Back to School

I am love with this idea Germs Away Fun Idea for Back to School!  It is fun idea and way for you to promote hand sanitation with your little ones.  In fact, I think it would be perfect for Back to School.

You can decorate the Purell Bottle and hopefully it will encourage your kids to use it.  We simply created a “P” superhero image and added “Germs Away” then we made a red cape for our bottle!  My son flipped when he saw it!  He was running around with the bottle saying, “up up away with Germs Away”.  I think this would make a great back to school gift for teachers.

Studies have shown that using PURELL Hand Sanitizer 3x a day for 30 days can help reduce your risk of getting sick. We are in full swing right now of summer fun. That means we are on the go! With that comes germs. We are not always in a position to wash our hands as much as we would like while on the go and often in public washing areas when we do so have PURELL with us as our back up to hand washing is really important.

Here are some fun facts that you might be interested in:

• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other leading health organizations, proper hand hygiene is one of the most important preventative measures you can take to reduce your risk of illness and infection.
• When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains as least 60% alcohol.
• If hands are visibly dirty, it’s always best to clean them with soap and water, but new PURELL Advanced Sanitizing Wipes can now help remove dirt and eliminate germs.
• Scientific outcome studies provide evidence that hand hygiene, including the use of an alcohol-based hand sanitizer like PURELL, reduces our risk of getting sick.

After our Summer Fun ends and we get ready to head Back-to-School you will want to be sure that you stock up on Purell.  Hand hygiene is especially important for school-aged children because they are spending the majority of their day in one room. 

A great tip is to attach a colorful PURELL Advanced Jelly WRAP™ carriers on their backpacks or lunch boxes.  This is a reminder that before they eat, they should have clean hands.    They even offer seasonal scents that smell good too!

Not all classrooms have access to soap and water.  A great idea is to pick up several 8 oz. PURELL Advanced pumps for your child’s classroom when you are shopping for back-to-school supplies.  Pick up several extra to send in after the holiday break too!

I always pack PURELL with me when I chaperone a field trip.  I request that my students use a squirt before they eat.  There are many field trips that we go on that offer hands-on fun but that also means germs, so I am sure to squirt the hands during the fun day.   You can also pack a PURELL Advanced JELLY WRAP™ carrier on your child’s bag before they go and remind them to use it before they eat and after the field trip.

If you carpool it is a great idea to keep PURELL Advanced hand sanitizer in the glove box, or hook JELLY WRAP™ carriers around the headrests so kids know they need to clean their hands the moment they get into the car.

My purse is our grand central station.   It has everything we need while on the go.  I always keep PURELL Advanced hand sanitizer with me so we can have clean hands before and after each activity.  I love to hook a JELLY WRAP™ carriers around the handle of my purse or backpack.  Did you know that PURELL offers a loyalty program?  This is a great way to get rewarded for using a product that you love.

I hope these tips help keep you prepared when you are on the go and for Back to School!
