My husband takes natural hand sanitizer for the kids in his classroom to use as well as some for himself. He used to also take his own hand soap when he worked at another school where he and just one other teacher shared a bathroom but he doesn’t have that option now.

He uses natural cleaners in his room as well. He has used both Pure Green 24 and Seventh Generation’s disinfectant. And he has an air filter in his room.

There are too many antibacterial products these days. This will create super bacteria in the future. Nice blog design BTW.

My husband teaches in a classroom of elementary children and he has discovered a product called Soft & Shield Hand Sanitizer and Moisturuzer. It is alcohol free and triclosan free and it lasts for four hours so there is no need to constantly reapply. Basically 2 applications a day is coverage enough . I would encourage everyone to try it. My husband bought it online and has been really happy with it.

Tea tree oil is an all natural anti bacterial, ani viral and anti bacterial. Try using RESTORZ soap with all natural tea tree oil instead of Triclosan.

Wow! I had no idea… I decided not to jump on the WHW bandwagon for two reasons 1) It does not actually clean your hands. What if you have oil on your hands? Yeah you’re bacteria free, but you still die! 2) I’ve read too much about our love affair with antibacterial stuff being the cause of these new super germs.

I hadn’t really been trying to dissuade others from their habit, but I will with this new information.

What important information. I am as anti-antibacterial as one can get. I wrote a letter to Bath and Body Works recently about their overuse of triclosan. It’s in almost every product they sell! If you’d like to send it, too, you can find it at http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/08/05/call-to-action-bath-and-body-works-anti-antibacterial-soap-letter/. I’m not quite as anti-hand sanitizer, since the active ingredient in most is just alcohol, but I do watch for triclosan sneaking into the bottles and avoid it at all costs.

Thanks for encouraging parents and teachers to take action!
