Encourage Healthy Hand-Washing Habits
With a 3-year-old daughter running around the house, I’m constantly worrying about the germs she comes in contact with. She can go from playing with her toys that were sitting on the ground to visiting the bathroom and then heading to the kitchen where she just has to touch something she shouldn’t be (like the garbage can). Unfortunately for parents, children aren’t preprogrammed to stay away from germs!
Good hand hygiene is something that needs to be taught at a young age. The earlier parents start teaching their child the importance of good hand hygiene the more conscious he/she will be to wash their hands after coming in contact with germs. Stressing good hand hygiene has to be done at all times – after playing outside, eating and after activities in the house that dirty hands. To promote good hand hygiene parents should make cleaning hands time fun, so their child will not only remember to clean their hands, but want to!
The Lysol® No-Touch™ Hand Soap System not only makes cleaning hands fun for kids, but helps them avoid coming into contact with more germs when in the bathroom. Pictured below you can see our old soap dish, which would end up swimming with germ infested water each day. Yuck! With the Lysol® No-Touch™ Hand Soap System, my daughter can simply place her hands under the sensor of the system and it automatically dispenses just the right amount of antibacterial, moisturizing soap. She avoids the icky germs from the soap dish and it has encouraged her to clean her hands more frequently! What more can a parent ask for?
Additionally, the new and improved formula is perfect for the sensitive hands of young children. It contains a Moisturizing Collagen Complex, meaning that it’s both soft on skin and hard on germs. The Lysol® No-Touch™ Antibacterial Hand Soap refills come in a variety of fragrances: Aloe & Vitamin E, Cucumber & Watermelon, Cranberry, Cocoa & Brown Sugar, Lemon & Verbena. My family particularly likes the lemon scent.
The Lysol® No-Touch™ Hand Soap System is also perfect for use in the kitchen. Making food becomes much more sanitary when you don’t have to grab the dish soap bottle to clean your dirty hands! This comes especially in handy when handling uncooked ground meat and chicken.

We are big believers in all things Lysol. I feel every family home should have Lysol products, it’s the trusted name in germ control for me.
I am huge on hand washing. With a big family germs travel quick!
We are all about Lysol products in our household! The best way to keep bugs from spreading is plenty of handwashing.
Too awesome. Love rebates that give you your money back. I know I will love this !
good hand washing makes for healthy families indeed!
we try doing it as much as we can
That system would definitely help avoid a lot of germs. I’m glad it’s safe and easy to use for kids too!
What a great system! I am a huge hand washer. It’s been passed on to all my kids. Which I love, helps fight off all the germs. We also use Lysol in our house! So great!
A lot of kids skip hand washing if you don’t remind them often. I like these ideas to encourage healthy hand washing habits.
This is such a good idea. I’m definitely going to print out the coupon, thanks.
This looks like a great product. I was always after my son when he was little to wash his hands. I will be sure to take advantage of the rebate.
I’m always on top of my boys to wash their hands. They bring home so many germs from school that I always worry.
Hand washing is so important! I work in health care & it prevents spreading so many diseases & germs!
I like the Lysol no-touch system. In fact, it’s one of my most favorite things that we have in the bathroom.
Hand washing is so important and can’t be stressed enough.
We are huge on hand washing too. I have this Lysol dispenser and love it
Thanks for this great rebate! We love the no hands system, and we use it all the time.
I love my Lysol No Touch dispenser. It is a great way to keep hands clean.
I am big on hand washing. My kids know they need to wash their hands all the time (little germ magnets).
I have that Lysol system and I love it! It’s so nice not to have germ infested hands touching the soap.
tbis is something we have been working in with my daughter!!! She all about soap but it’s getting her to actually fully wash her hands that’s the battle lol
We have this system in our bathroom. Guests love it. Kids will wash more because really..it’s fun.
I think my kids finally have this routine down. Thank heavens!
My grand kids are really enjoyed hand washing. This is really important to teach our kids or grand kids to make hand washing to be their habits.
I would love to test the “no touch” system. I don’t have a problem getting my toddler to wash… we sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star which not only keeps her there, but makes sure we washes for long enough.
We got pretty lucky. My guy doesn’t like his hands ‘germy’ as he says. Sometimes, he totally goes overboard on the soap though. This might even help with that!
As a teacher, I am familiar with the importance of instilling these habits into children! Our school does a really good job at enforcing good hygiene.
Hand washing is very important in my home. I make sure my toddler washes her hand before meals and after using the loo. Dad and I are trying to set an example for her.
Starting kids off with his habit is so hard, but very important. We actually just picked up the no touch soap dispenser this last weekend and so far we love it.
My kids would always tell me that I am like a broken record for constantly reminding them to wash their hands. I know that they do wash their hands all the time but I think it’s a habit of mine lol.
I’ve encouraged my son to wash his hands before eating, etc. since he was a little boy. And there’s no need for me to tell him now. He does it religiously.
I have always heard that if you teach your kids to sing their ABC’s while they are washing their hands , it winds up being the perfect amount of time to get their hands sanitary!
My family and I are adamant about washing our hands. I’ll definitely have to check out this product!
Whenever I help out in the 4-year-old class at our church, I’m surprised how the kid don’t know the proper way to wash their hands! It’s so important that parents and caregivers take time to teach this. Literally, many of them turn the water on, get soap from the automatic dispenser and then simply rinse!
This sounds like a product I need in our home. With 5 kiddos and with everything they touch, this would be perfect!
Thanks for sharing the great coupon! I have one of these Lysol no touch sytems but Id’ like another for my guest bathroom!
Good hand washing habits are so important! It’s a great idea to teach kids at a young age but there are people in my office that could use some training too!
Handwashing is so very important, it helps stop the spread of germs and just keeps us healthy.
Having worked in food service for a long time, plus with us baking cakes from home, we are pretty fastidious hand washers around here. It is very important.
We need the Lysol® No-Touch™ Hand Soap System at our house! Currently, I have to hold my nine month old daughter over the sink and struggle with the faucet handle and the soap pump. Not fun.
