Training Tomorrow's Great Hand Washers
Washing hands can be a drag for kids. Boring!
They've got better things to do and we're all in such a rush that we overlook teaching our kids the correct way to wash hands.
In a hurry we are neglecting the passing on of healthy hand washing habits.
Start them young and instill a change of behavior that will become second nature and a natural unconscious action.
With SquidSoap a small ink mark is put on your hand when you push down the pump. It takes about 20 seconds of thorough scrubbing to remove the ink mark. A length of time that most doctors and health professionals suggest you should wash your hands.
And the US Centers for Disease Control recommends "The most important thing that you can do to keep from getting sick is wash your hands".
The first and most important step to health and wellbeing for you and your family is the simplest of habits.
