New Products For Fall Cleaning:

- 16" x 24" All Purpose Towels - can be used for cleaning, drying off pets and for hand towels. These towels are a blend of 70/30 polyester/polyamide. They are very absorbent, more absorbent than the 80/20's, soft and larger in size than the 16" x 16"'s. (As soon as my 80/20's 16" x 16" All Purpose's are gone, I will be carrying 70/30's as well, I find they are a better towel, but have had difficulty getting them.) Microfiber holds 7-9 times it's weight in liquids but dries quickly between uses. Great for drying windows too.

- High Duster Wand with Microfiber Cover - this product is a wonderful new tool to clean with. It is constructed of ABS plastic and aluminum, with a flexible rubber wand and microfiber cover for the wand. It is like giving a 6t extension to your arm, yet can be used to clean under your stove, bookcases, behind refrigerators etc, with the short plastic handle. This makes for a versatile new tool, use it with the short handle or screw in the extension handle for those high places. You can bend the wand at a 90 degree angle to clean off the tops of your ceiling fan blades or bend it slightly to clean cobwebs and spiders off of your walls.

- Microfiber Wand Cover Refills - Got some larger cleaning jobs, you may want an extra wand cover on hand. They are washable, durable microfiber. Another great tool in your cleaning arsenal!

Get Flu & Cold Protection Using Microfiber Cleaning Cloths & PureGreen24

During this time of the Swine flu "scare", be safe by cleaning your home with microfiber and PureGreen 24.

A wet microfiber cloth will pick up over 99% of bacteria and viruses off a hard surface. Just wipe the surface and rinse the cloth in hot water and soap releasing the germs into the water. Use different cloths for your bathroom and your kitchen to prevent contamination from one room to the other. Some people like to use different colors for different rooms. 

Need an extra disinfectant boost - use PureGreen 24, It is a environmentally safe 24 hour disinfectant - safe for you and your children and pets - but tough on germs. It is silver ion based, killing germs but not you. Since it lasts 24 hours, it requires fewer that you reapply less often, saving you time and money.

Remember good hand washing techniques are important. Teach your children to wash their hands properly, to keep from spreading germs.

The following information are instructions on good hand washing found on the Mayo Clinics blog.

Proper hand washing with soap and water
Follow these instructions for washing with soap and water:

• Wet your hands with warm, running water and apply liquid soap or use clean bar soap. Lather well.
• Rub your hands vigorously together for at least 15 to 20 seconds.
• Scrub all surfaces, including the backs of your hands, wrists, between your fingers and under your fingernails.
• Rinse well.
• Dry your hands with a clean or disposable towel.
• Use a towel to turn off the faucet.

Proper use of an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
Alcohol-based hand sanitizers — which don't require water — are an excellent alternative to hand washing, particularly when soap and water aren't available. They're actually more effective than soap and water in killing bacteria and viruses that cause disease. Commercially prepared hand sanitizers contain ingredients that help prevent skin dryness. Using these products can result in less skin dryness and irritation than hand washing.

Not all hand sanitizers are created equal, though. Some "waterless" hand sanitizers don't contain alcohol. Use only the alcohol-based products. The CDC recommends choosing products that contain at least 60 percent alcohol.

To use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer:

• Apply about 1/2 teaspoon of the product to the palm of your hand.
• Rub your hands together, covering all surfaces of your hands, until they're dry.

If your hands are visibly dirty, however, wash with soap and water, if available, rather than a sanitizer.

When should you wash your hands?

Although it's impossible to keep your bare hands germ-free, there are times when it's critical to wash your hands to limit the transfer of bacteria, viruses and other microbes.

Always wash your hands:

• After using the toilet
• After changing a diaper — wash the diaper-wearer's hands, too
• After touching animals or animal waste
• Before and after preparing food, especially before and immediately after handling raw meat, poultry or fish
• Before eating
• After blowing your nose
• After coughing or sneezing into your hands
• Before and after treating wounds or cuts
• Before and after touching a sick or injured person
• After handling garbage
• Before inserting or removing contact lenses
• When using public restrooms, such as those in airports, train stations, bus stations and restaurants

Kids need clean hands, too

You can help your children avoid getting sick by insisting that they wash their hands properly and frequently. To get kids into the habit, teach by example. Wash your hands with your children and supervise their hand washing. Place hand-washing reminders at children's eye level, such as a chart by the bathroom sink for children to mark every time they wash their hands. Make sure the sink is low enough for children to use, or that it has a stool underneath so that children can reach it. Tell your children to wash their hands for as long as it takes them to sing their ABCs, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or the "Happy Birthday" song. This works especially well with younger children, who may rush when washing their hands.

Older children and adolescents also can use alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Younger children can use them, too — with an adult's help. Just make sure the sanitizer has completely dried before your child touches anything. This will avoid ingestion of alcohol from hand-to-mouth contact. Store the container safely away after use.

Hand washing is especially important for children who attend child care. Children younger than 3 years in child care are at greater risk of respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, which can easily spread to family members and others in the community.

To protect your child's health, be sure your child care provider promotes sound hygiene, including frequent hand washing or use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Ask whether the children are required to wash their hands several times a day — not just before meals. Note, too, whether diapering areas are cleaned after each use and whether eating and diapering areas are well separated.

A simple way to stay healthy

Hand washing doesn't take much time or effort, but it offers great rewards in terms of preventing illness. Adopting this simple habit can play a major role in protecting your health.
