CleanWell hand sanitzer with thyme oil

Hand sanitizers are generally regarded as overkill, because a bar of soap and water would generally do just as well, if not better. But sometimes you have a real need to sterilize your own hands, or your kid's hands with a sanitizer, like after a visit to the doctor's office where you suspect those toys your kids touched were crawling with germs, and there is nary a sink in sight.

Jennifer Lance of Eco Child's Play recommends CleanWell Hand Sanitizer and Wipes. CleanWell claims that its products kills 99.99% of germs with a combination of plant oils called "Ingenium." The active ingredient on the label is thyme oil.

And just in case you were in doubt that everyone has a blog now, here is Cleanwell's blog which has some interesting articles on it about germs, antibiotic resistance and whether you are crazy for asking people to wash their hands before they pick up your new baby.

(Answer, it's a very good idea to make folks wash up or use some hand sanitizer before they touch your precious baby, especially in the winter months.)
