Skip The Purrell!
12 Dec 2007 2 Comments
I’m a Purrell freak. In fact, I Purrell almost once an hour. I don’t know why I do it, just because I have a 4 year old I suppose. With my son constantly sick (see previous post!) I needed something to help me learn how to keep a clean house. So I got a copy of the “What to expect guide to a healthy home” which is made by the woman who wrote “What to expect when you are expecting.”
I have to say, it is all that and more! What shocked me the most was did you know that most people touch 300 surfaces in a mere 30 minutes? Um, yeah! That’s the same shocked expression that was on my face! So, I started to read it and I got some really good tips. Granted, some were tips that I have already heard over and over again, but it does serve as a good reminder. One thing stuck out and that was the fact that you should get rid of the stuffed animals that are on the bed because they are a breeding ground for dust mites. I never really thought of it, even though I have covered my bed with an allergen protector for both my mattress and my pillows, but I don’t do a thing for my sons bed. So, I’m going to get rid of them and start covering his bed too.
With his bronchitis thing that he has now, I’m sure he needs a little extra “cleaning” in the house. There are tips about how to avoid getting the flu, what you can do in a public bathroom, things about child care centers which I can totally use a preschool, as well as even tips about how to avoid germs in the car. I guess with Christmas coming up I have to be more concerned. I’m having a moms get together next week and then Christmas Eve, and I need to be prepared. As a germaphobe and a mom, it is important that I try to help my son avoid all the of the germs that he has so obviously been getting. Plus, it could me not get sick too 
And then maybe I wouldn’t have to Purrell so damn much – that stuff is not cheap!!
If you want to download a copy of your own guide to help avoid the germs from cold and flu season, you can do so HERE

my ex sold kirby sweepers. its like this super bagless vaccume that uses a filter and all that bs. One of the demonstrations? The mattress. He sucked so much disgusting shit out of my mattress, I could have puked! And he did it forever and it kept coming! I steam cleaned it twice, (btw…euw!)and it still sucked stuff out. I suggest you never do it. lol.

I’m an obsessive ear Q-Tipper.
300 surfaces in thirty minutes??? How is that possible when my hand never leaves the mouse?
