Clorox What To Expect Guide to a Healthy Home Growth Chart * If 80% of Germs Are Spread by Touch , How Can I Help Myself Avoid Them?

I know how I hate to read most brochures and instruction books, but the Clorox What To Expect Guide to a Healthy Home Growth Chart is different from most. It’s down to earth common sense and practical knowledge written down not a technical journal but something for every reader in everyday language. You can download it at http://www.clorox.com/healthier_lives/article.php?subsection=new_moms&article_id=what_to_expect

This guide written by Heidi Murkoff deals with germs, preventing sickness, keeping problem areas in the home clean, keeping foods safe from contamination, and avoiding illness. It emphasizes things too often taken for granted like washing hands, wiping down surfaces, kids learning when to share and when not to go there, keeping foods safe, and practicing good health habits outside the home.

I have known for years what a great product Clorox is. Back in the days of cloth diapers, it was my laundry mainstay for baby clothes. When my little ones were outside in the summer splashing in their wading pool, it was my water sanitizer. Then my children grew up and we all moved into camping.  My #1 sanitizer for outdoor living became a spray bottle of Clorox diluted with tap water. I use Clorox instead other cleaners in house cleaning. I still use it to this day to bleach my washable whites.

Times many have changed. People don’t use a lot of wash items like bluing, starch, and borax any more. But they still use Clorox. It is a product that does its job cleaning up germs, dirt, and grime.

    I can not use Clorox in my septic system. GRRRRRRR, it neutralizes the good bacteria that I use to help fight the other bad stuff. It is costly to have a system pumped. So lots of hot soap and water is what I use. And I was so into Clorox until we moved to the sticks. lol

    Marj,

    How about their non-chlorine one?  I remember having a septic system until the 70′s.

    Sometimes the old dependable items – like Clorox – are the best. There’s a reason it has been around for so long!

    Nancy,

    I even remember using it 55 years ago as ink eradicator in the day of the fountain pen.
