Val_2 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Too many chemicals have lessened our immune systems and now I see Vanish are doing another powder that kills germs living in your clothes nd bedding which you put inwith your washing powder in the machine, whats wrong with a good hot wash and plenty of soap? As for gastro, perhaps if people washed their hands after using the loo more, it wouldn't be so rife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Yes, and washing your hands means with soap for 2 minutes, backs, palms, between fingers etc..not just a quick rinse !http://www.whittington.nhs.uk/default.asp?c=7365 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I read that you should sing 'Happy Birthday' through twice to give the correct amount of time when washing hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The last thing I read about gels was not impressive especially as we use them, we particularly like Yves Rocher brand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemonimo Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I've just discovered to my cost that the disinfectant gels take the colour out of clothes. A brand new pair of L.L.Bean trousers to be exact[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
