No Substitute for Handwashing

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that hand washing is the single most important prevention step for reducing disease transmission. 

They also offer the following guidelines:

• Liquid soap dispensed by a hand or foot pump is recommended.
• Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can be used if soap and water cannot be made available and are effective against multiple common disease agents (e.g., shiga toxin-producing E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter). However, they are ineffective against certain organisms (e.g., bacterial spores, Cryptosporidium, and certain viruses).
• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with a concentration of 60% or higher to be effective against common disease agents.
• Hand sanitizers are less effective if hands are visibly soiled. Therefore, visible contamination and dirt should be removed to the extent possible before using hand sanitizers.

Since the H1N1 flu virus has run rampant, hand washing and hand sanitizers are getting a lot of attention. Yay for that! I've always been amazed as a former teacher that other teachers I have worked with did not stress the importance of washing hands. Kids love to wash their hands! Something about the  goey, slimy soap, caressing their palms and slithering away the dirt and oil, makes them so happy.

I'm so excited to finally be bringing you Organic Liquid Hand Soap in 5 blends:
