And we do the 30-second rule too. "Warm water, wash for 30 seconds, then rinse."
As our pediatrician put it, "Would you rather puke, or wash your hands?" Which I make sure I ask my kids whenever they complain about having to wash up.
I had the opportunity to review Dial Complete and our whole family loves it! We tried their "Soothing White Tea" scent and it smells heavenly. It definitely gives me more incentive to wash my hands, just because I love the smell so much.
In addition to the delicious scent, the soap foams up nicely and contains lotion, something very important to me and my children as we all have sensitive/dry skin.
Dial Complete recognizes the importance of good hand washing and has put together a Campaign for Clean Hands. Based on findings from the Dial Complete® brand's Campaign for Clean Hands survey, moms are the top influence in teaching their children proper hand washing.
When asked, "When you were a child, who taught you proper hand washing?," 76 percent of the individuals surveyed answered their mother was responsible for teaching them to wash their hands. So I'm obviously not alone!
The Campaign for Clean Hands is a program designed to engage and educate families about the importance of proper hand-hygiene.
The campaign's Web site features:
- a video contest for kids
- an online "DC Germ Blaster" video game
- a variety of fun, educational hand washing materials parents can print and share with their children, including a home hand washing chart, coloring and activity sheets, bookmarks and a memory game.
- a sweepstakes visitors can enter to win a year's supply of Dial Complete foaming hand wash.
Head on over and take advantage of all the site has to offer!

this is something i would love to have because i like to have soap at every faucet in my home. thank you for the contest!
What a great prize. We have taught our kids to wash their hands as soon as they walk in the door after school. We see that it's helped keeping sickness away from our home. I love how your Pediatrician put it..."Would you rather puke, or wash your hands?" Got to remember this, just in case the kids get lazy. lol
Thanks so much for this giveaway. We'd really love to win. Thanks.
I am a strict handwasher too, I will even holler when I hear the older ones and even hubs go to the bathroom- you touched it wash the hands- you don't want to get the whole house sickk with something
Hand washing is so important. I carry a hand cleaner gel so I can use it when I am out. Sometimes the restroom sink is filthy, no soap or towels. The blower is even dirty and doesn't work. I hate to ever let the kids touch the door handle at malls or restaurants. I try not to be a germ paranoid person, but an ounce of soap is needed.
Definitely want to stay healthy this winter and my family knows how important it is to wash their hands. This would be a great win.

never can have enough of hand soap.
My mom taught me to always wash my hands too. It doesn't feel right not to wash regularly -- kind of like not wearing a seat belt while driving! Thanks for the giveaway.
This is a great prize, especially since I'm around children pretty often.

With a 2 year old who's nickname is Pigpen, I could really, really use a case of handsoap. He loves dirt. He'll just lay down in the dirt and roll. When he stands up bits of dirt will be dropping of him.I have to fight him every time I sweep up the dirt on the floors. He wants to play in the pile of dirt that I have swept up.

Thank you for stressing the importance of hand washing. It is so vital and important in the prevention of so many viruses. If you start kids really early, they will develope good habits later on that they won't even have to think about.

A wonderfully useful prize! My family goes through quite a bit of soap as I've always taught them the importance of handwashing. This was handed down to me by MY MOTHER who, additionally, also said "the first ingredient on ANY recipe is to wash your hands!" I've tried to reinforce the habit with my own kids! Thanks for having the giveaway!

what a great campaign. I am no germaphobe, but I do get nervous about all of the illnesses we can pick up just touching ordinary objects in our day to day life.
Doorknobs, shopping carts, elevator buttons...
My daughters are great about washing, but my son...Wow, clean is not his thing!
I can never have enough soap in my house as I am a little OCD when it comes to washing hands.
Ohh. I love the "would you rather puke.." comment. I'll have to use that.
With a 3 and 5 year old, we go through a LOT of soap!
With 4 kids in the house, we could really use this.
WE HAVE TWO KIDS HERE THAT KNOWS HOW TO GET DIRTY.
Nice prize!
We love Dial Complete. Thanks for the giveaway.
