Join the PURELL 30 Day Challenge! #PURELL30 #ShakeOnIT #ad

We are in week three of back to school and my son is loving his new school. Being back to school means meeting new friends and interacting with a ton of people. We all know that school is filled with germs and this is why I’ve decided to join the PURELL 30-Day Challenge. The 30 day challenge is designed to encourage people to practice good hand hygiene to help reduce the spread of illness causing germs. Check out this video by my friends Vera and Audrey.

My son and I have agreed to join the challenge and we have pledged to use PURELL Advanced Hand Sanitizer 3 times a day for 30 days. To make things easy for my son, I’ve added strategically placed PURELL Advanced Hand Sanitizer within his reach while he is at school.  He has PURELL Hand sanitizer on his backpack - in school he has a computer on his desk and using it after being on the computer all day will help cut back on germs. 

I’ve also placed one on the handle of his lunchbox so that he can use it before he eats. He has already decided his favorite is the Coconut Beach Siesta.

I keep PURELL sanitizing wipes in the car, have a small bottle in my purse and I also keep one by my sink in the kitchen to use it after handling meats. I am ready for the challenge and the first day has gone well! There are several reasons why my family has decided to join the challenge

• It has been reported that 80% of illnesses can be transmitted by hands
• The CDC recommends hand hygiene as one of the most important steps you can take to reduce your risk of getting sick and spreading illness causing germs and,
• Hand hygiene at key moments is a simple and effective way to keep your family healthy and well. Key moments include: before and after food handling, after using the restroom, before eating, before and after caring for someone sick or being around someone ill, after sneezing and coughing and after touching a surface that has been touched by many like grocery carts and door handles.

Will you and your family take the 30 day challenge and stay healthy? You can join and learn more on the PURELL 30 Day Challenge website. By joining you will automatically be entered to win one of three daily prizes!
