Cold and flu season, the time of year that everybody, especially parents dread. This year, with the flu season hitting our little ones especially hard, it’s up to us as moms and dads to do what we can to protect our little ones.
Around our house, we talk to our kids about the four C’s and the importance of practicing them on a daily basis.
The Four C’s – Cover, Contain, Clean and Vitamin C
1. Cover – Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow.
This is my kids favorite tip, and they practice it regularly. Which makes me happy. It’s pretty cute seeing a three year old automatically sneeze into their elbow.
They also like to remind adults who don’t remember to cover when they cough or sneeze, which can get awkward, especially in public.
2. Contain – Stay home if you are sick, no matter what. This can be a toughie, especially with small children who don’t want to miss out on school or a special event. But a little bit of rest usually speeds recovery.
3. Clean -This is the big one because it’s all about prevention.
For my kids, their job is to wash their hands. One habit that we have developed is to wash our hands immediately when we get home from any outing. We just go straight for the sinks when we get home.
My little guy knows that’s his first job when he gets home from school. I think it’s a really good habit to get into.
My job as a parent is to keep our hot spots disinfected. Hot spots are the areas that everyone touches and are havens for those little viruses and germs.
I love using the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes on our household hot spots. They are incredibly convenient. I use them to give the bathroom sinks a quick wipe, including the facets and the soap dispenser. Yep, I like to give the soap dispenser a wipe as well. With two little kids, you never know what they have been touching!
For a good deep cleaning, I use Clorox Clean Up Cleaner with Bleach. I love wiping down our bathroom with this on a regular basis. It gives me peace of mind to know that even potty training germs can’t hide!
4. Vitamin C – We focus on healthy fruits and veggies packed with vitamin C, including oranges, red bell peppers and strawberries. Smoothies are my family’s favorite way to load up on vitamins!

I have been an avid user of the Clorox wipes for over 4 years now. They are a great big help in keeping a young boy and his parents a bit more germ free, especially this time of year!
LOVE the wipes! So quick and convenient!
Having a daughter who is immunosupressed I need to make sure our house is as germ free as possible. I use the wipes to clean door handles,phones, remotes, and game controllers.

Love the wipes! Cleaned everything my dinner guests with colds had touched just as sson as they left my house and were headed home.
We like the bathroom and toilet bowl cleaners, but I’d like to try the wipes too.

The Clorox Wipes work great but no other toilet bowl cleaner works quite as well as Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner. My toilet bowl is back to sparkling white with a lot less scrubbing. That is a Win in my book.

Clorox wipes are great and love that you can just throw them away. Debra chedeb5353@hotmail.com
I use Clorox wipes on everything- even to wipe down the plastic dust jacket of library books. Especially those!
I’m always shocked at how filthy the covers can be and so glad the wipes can do their duty and then be thrown away.
Clorox wipes make for easy disinfecting
Clorox makes a wipe that has a textured side for scrubbing hard surfaces. I <3 it - especially for our floors and in the kitchen!!
I can’t live without the wipes- they make it easy for everyone in the house to pitch in on the cleaning.
i like the bathroom and toilet cleaner- works great to keep my family from germs!

We use the Clorax wipes almost everyday in my house.

Our family really loves the Clorox wipes.
I love the wipes
We also use the Clorox wipes. Also when we leave the house we play a game called zombie germs. ( my son is really into zombies right now) everything in stores etc.. could be contaminated with zombie germs so you can’t touch your face with your hands or you could become a zombie! But if you use hand sanitizer and wash your hand with warm water and soap when you get home your safe! lol, he loves it.
I use clorox wipes to disinfect surfaces we touch often, like keyboard, door knobs, mouse, faucets. Started doing this after I got a really bad cold last year.
