We all want sickness and germs to stay at bay, right? Well, Lysol has got the answer! Time to stop just cleaning and start “Healthing” for you and your family!! When we clean we aren’t doing it just to make things look nice, we do it with the hopes of keeping our family safe and healthy. One problem, not all cleaners are created equally. That is why Lysol is introducing the concept of “Healthing”. Cleaning is hoping that you are killing germs, “Healthing” is knowing you are killing 99.9% of the germs!
Healthing isn’t just for at home, it’s an initiative being shared throughout communities, schools and hospitals. Lysol is partnering with local YMCA’s and television personality Giuliana Rancic in select markets to get out and teach others about “Healthing” with hands-on demonstrations about the products and steps required to practice improved hygiene habits in homes, while making the ideas fun and relatable to kids and families, too. Plus, providing educational programs that aim to reach 50 percent of new moms with health and wellness topics to aid them in caring for their newborns.
Working in a daycare center with kids from infants through 5th grade that love to touch everything in site and spread germs like wildfire, “Healthing” has opened our eyes to real way we need to be fighting germs. We were just cleaning, but no more, now it’s “Healthing” all the way. It’s important that the kiddos and the staff are safe and healthy, so we have to be proactive. We have to clean all the time, so now we will be “Healthing” all the time and educating our families to do the same.
LYSOL Healthing Tips
- Don’t let spring cleaning overwhelm you – take it one room at a time and stock up on products that will help you to get the job done effectively, including LYSOL® products, paper towels, sponges, and trash bags.
- Know the difference between cleaning and disinfecting! Both are important components of the Healthing process and LYSOL® has products that can help with all related tasks. While cleaning and organizing is certainly important, killing germs on commonly touched surfaces can lower the risk of spreading bacteria and viruses between members of the family.
- Start with the basics – wipe down easy to reach surfaces and then move onto the little nooks and crannies.
- Remember to dust around wall art, photographs and woodwork.
- Use a disinfectant product, like LYSOL® Disinfecting Wipes, to help ensure you’re killing germs as you clean, and think beyond the usual places.
- Be sure to clean even the smallest surfaces, such as light switches.
- Don’t forget to disinfect places that you don’t see or think about often, like the door knobs, cabinet handles or sink drains.
- Make it a family activity and tailor tasks to specific age groups. Give younger children simpler, one-step tasks like dusting or picking toys up off the floor, and save the more complex jobs, such as vacuuming, scrubbing, and disinfecting for older members of the family.
- Remember to practice proper hand washing as well after you clean, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer. Hand washing is the single most important thing you can do to prevent illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom CentralConsulting for LYSOL®. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating. Regardless, all opinions are my own voice and personal experiences”
I so agree with this. Swiping a surface with a cloth doesn’t mean that it’s sanitized, especially in a water fountain or something else. As a mom with a child in daycare, I really appreciate that you are making the effort to keep a safe, healthy environment for the kids!
Lysol wipes are my best friend. I totally agree that cleaning is a family activity and best of all the work gets done faster )
Lysol is a brand that is in my home all the time. I love using the wipes around the house for just about anything. I also love their all purpose spray. This lets me clean all over the house and help me stop the germs, especially when one of us gets sick in the house.
These are great tips. My kids are at the age that they love to help so we try to get them as involved with picking up after themselves and other chores as much as possible. I do love the Lysol disinfecting wipes, they do a great job getting things clean and keeping it simple.
I use Lysol all the time to clean, even today. 🙂
