clorox wipes, basic g, lysol germicides, fluNotice the gloves? This is essential when using Lysol or Clorox wipes.  Since flu season is coming up sooner than any of us can believe, we felt it was crucial to notify everyone of the risk associated with germicide wipes.  Clorox wipes are not intended for children to use.  Yet, many schools require that the children wipe their desk off with these toxic wipes.  You may ask, "How do we know?"  The answer is simple, "We asked."

You may be wondering, what can you use.   Good question.  Personally, I recommend to my customers Basic G wipes by Shaklee because these are very effective germicide wipes that are safe for children to use.  "How do I know?" you may wonder.  Again the answer is simple, "I asked."

Thanks for the clarification regarding Germ Off Disinfecting Wipes.

It is fine for children to use the wipes to clean their desk and other like hard surfaces.

Sometimes the best protection for our children is EDUCATION.  We as parents and guardians must learn what can harm them and what won't  and then teach them.
