As previously mentioned...

Hand washing, when done correctly, has always been the best way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. And yet, many still don't practice good hand hygiene. We should practice good hygiene. And, as parents, we should also make sure that our kids form this habit early in life.

Here's a great way to encourage our kids to develop healthy hand washing habits... Squid Soap!

SquidSoap works by applying a small ink mark on a person's hand when they press the pump to dispense the soap. The ink is designed to wash off after the hands are washed for about15-20 seconds, which is the time recommended by most doctors.

This should be a hit with the kids!
