LYSOL No-Touch Hand Soap System {Review}

Per what seems to be the norm around here in the winter, someone in the house has a cold. It's typically more than only one someone, actually. What is it about kids and germs that they're magnetically attracted? Whether they pick them up at school, while shopping, playing outside or elsewhere, they always seem to have a knack for it.

As well as covering our mouths when we cough and blowing our noses properly with tissue, one way that we work to at least cut down on the amount of germs spread around here is with a lot of hand washing. Both of my daughters do a fairly good job of heading to the sink themselves, but when it comes to actually scrubbing up, they can always use a little more encouragement.

Fortunately, that is much easier thanks to the arrival of the LYSOL Healthy Touch No-Touch Hand Soap System.

On a mission to help everyone learn the importance of proper hand-washing to prevent the spread of germs from the everyday things we do, LYSOL is continually introducing great products to help prevent sickness and the No-Touch Hand Soap System is no exception (particularly during this rough cold and flu season).

This convenient product helps eliminate the millions of germs that your hands can pick up each day — starting with the item we use most often to get rid of them, the hand soap dispenser. Many families might not suspect that the very germs they are washing away may be found on their soap pumps, so why not remove that possibility?

Right away I appreciated that LYSOL gave this Soap System a crisp, clean look (it is available in a stainless steel-inspired design as well) and the way that it would easily blend in with the decor in any of our bathrooms or the kitchen.

Getting it ready to use it couldn't have been easier, as I simply removed all of the packaging, peeled the sticker off of the bottom of the soap and installed it right in the top — then it was time to wash our hands! LYSOL smartly even put the power switch on the back of the dispenser so that there isn't any worry about having soap come out while you are trying to turn it on or off, move it, or clean nearby.

I love the convenience! The LYSOL No-Touch Hand Soap System is one less thing for my kids to touch and they are continually fascinated by the way that it automatically senses their hands and dispenses just the right amount of soap.

As a bonus, this system has 10 times more germ protection than the leading antibacterial hand soap, so not only does the No-Touch Dispenser make hand washing fun and interactive, but it really does a fantastic job stopping the transmission of germs.

If creating this versatile, handy dispenser wasn't enough, last month LYSOL wanted to give even more to families and launched The Kid Who Touches Everything Contest to award one lucky family even further.

This creative contest invites parents nationwide to submit photos of their child's messiest moments — the grand prize winner will win a family vacation to Disney World and have their photo featured on Lysol.com!

Photos can be entered into one of five categories — Future Artist, Food Fanatic, Mud Madness, Young Explorer and Critter Kid — and each week a category winner will be randomly selected to have his or her photo featured on Lysol.com and on LYSOL's Facebook page.

(No purchase necessary. Contest runs from 2/25/13- 5/25/13. Open to US residents ages 18+. Void where prohibited. Click here for official contest rules.)

When it comes to eliminating germs, the LYSOL Healthy Touch No-Touch Hand Soap System can remove millions of them from your and your family's hands without having to touch a thing.
