I had the great privilege of being chosen to review two new products from Lysol®. Here's my first impression: THEY ARE AWESOME.
The first product was a container of Lysol® Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes, which I loved upon sight because HELLO! the package is purple.
Seriously, though? When I found out I was reviewing wipes, I was not immediately excited. Sure, I use wipes in my kitchen and bathroom all the time, but what was so different about these? Let me tell you--they are fantastic! One side is like your traditional wipe, smooth and even, very multi-purpose. The other side, however, is a bit rougher for tougher jobs, like caked-on sauce on your counter, sticky ketchup on your kid's plastic picnic table or dried liquid from where your rice boiled over onto your cooktop. One swipe of the "scrubby side" and messes are a thing of the past. In the bathroom, I used the scrubby side to wipe up dried, goopy toothpaste and a couple of shampoo drips. None of the surfaces I wiped were scratched or damaged in any way and I didn't have to scrub hard to get the messes cleaned up. The smell is fresh and pleasant and your surfaces dry quickly and without streaks. The folks at Lysol® even passed along some great kitchen cleaning tips to keep your house as healthy and shiny as possible.
The second product I was sent was the Lysol® Healthy Touch® No-Touch Hand Soap System, which has easily become my new favorite household product.
The package serendipitously arrived on a day when I was making meatloaf for dinner. Now if you are a maker of meatloaf, I don't have to tell you how many times you have to wash your hands while you're preparing it. I, however, am a complete and utter germophobe when it comes to raw meats, so I probably wash my hands twice as many times as I actually need to when handling them. This product made things so much easier! No more trying to pump the soap out with my wrist! No more having to double-pump because I didn't get enough soap the first time! You just place your hand underneath the spout and VOILA! The Healthy Touch® No-Touch Hand Soap System dispenses just the right amount of wonderful-smelling, moisturizing soap into your hands. I received the Aloe Vera & Vitamin E with Moisturizers variety and I absolutely love the smell and feel of the soap. My hands feel soft after I use it and the fragrance is just strong enough to notice. I can't wait to try all the differnt scents they offer, especially Refreshing Grapefruit Essence!
So what's the bottome line, you ask? Both these products made cleaning easier and more enjoyable for me. Once these packages run out, I will definitely be purchasing refills and will continue to use both of these products.

Disclosure: This review was made possible by Mom Select and Lysol®. I was provided with a Lysol® Healthy Touch No-Touch® Hand Soap System and Lysol® Disinfecting Wipes: Dual Action for myself and one random winner in exchange for my opinion. My opinions are my own and were not influenced in any way by the sponsors.
I'd love the No-Touch soap dispenser because I'm constantly washing my hands and don't like having to touch the pump. It would help me, a true germaphobe since my kidney transplant, not to have to pick up more germs from the dirty pump. Sounds like a great product!

I had to laugh as I just packed the lysol wipes for school today. But really, since the girls have now started "assisting" me with the housework it is easier to use the wipes since I don't have to worry about them using too much chemical. We wash our hands constantly because the kids do help me with the cleaning, cooking etc. and with two cats and a dog. Well, you get the idea. Both sound like some truly awesome products.

Ooh, that no-touch soap dispenser looks wicked awesome. I bet it's perfect for my 4.5 yr old who either uses entirely too much soap or not enough.
