Kids and Puppies. Or Horses.

My husband, walking into our basement just today, sniffed and said, “What smells?”

My answer?  “The kids.”

I’ve long said that in the warm months, sweaty happy kids smell like puppies.  Or horses.

Not that I’ve had a lot of experience around horses but for whatever reason that’s the analogy I’ve used and when I’ve shared it with other moms I’ve received a nod of approval and agreement.

Bath them, scrub behind their ears, and send them off to bed – but what of the area they’ve left behind?

Open the windows in the playroom, use a plug-in air freshener to mask the smell a bit, and in my case reach for Lysol Fabric Mist and spray the couches and recliner to help eliminate orders (not just cover them up!)

Lysol Fabric Mist kills 99.9% of bacteria on fabrics, thereby eliminating the cause of the odor (gross, right?)

Use it on couches, curtains, pet-beds, cushions and sports bags to take care of that odor-causing bacteria throughout the house.

Unfortunately I can’t use it to spray behind the kids ears and into that messy sweaty mop of hair after a day of play.  I guess a bubble bath will still have to take care of my puppies and horses.
