The Green Way to Keep the Flu (and Other Bugs) Away


Mums and dads everywhere know that to keep infants and toddlers healthy, one of the golden rules is to make sure that their homes are free from harmful germs. So, we arm ourselves with a wide array of household disinfectants and cleaning agents and wage a never-ending battle to keep the bugs off of our doorsteps.




The reality is that nowadays, the world is just not that safe. Bugs are becoming more virulent and diseases are still a harsh reality even in a medically advanced world. Take for instance the recent flu pandemic involving the Influenza A (H1N1) virus, more commonly referred to as the “swine flu” virus, which has spread all over the world in just a few months. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that people can be infected by the virus by touching contaminated objects or surfaces and then touching their own nose, mouth or eyes. It’s easy to see how you might infect your family if you attend to their needs with unclean hands. Infants and toddlers are especially vulnerable because they have weaker immune systems than grown-ups do. To protect them, the CDC suggests that you wash your hands with soap and water and use sanitisers frequently.


BabyGanics provides safe solutions to help you protect your family from all the Influenza viruses. First there’s Fine and Handy® Foaming Hand Soap which cleans and moisturises hands. Teach your older kids that foaming up with this soap can be fun and keep them healthy!







Follow up the hand washing with Germinator Alcohol Free Foaming Hand Sanitiser. This unique product offers a quick way for you to kill harmful germs without the drying or stinging effects of alcohol.



So don’t take your chances especially now that cold and flu season is here. Keep your defenses strong, keep little (and big!) hands clean, and show any flu viruses who’s the REAL boss.
