Lysol products make this mom happy. I’m a self-professed germophobe as many of you know and having a Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System and Lysol wipes in my home make me a little less skeeved out about the germs my kids carry home.
This contest makes my germophobe radar go crazy, but I know moms can appreciate and enjoy it (ok, maybe I can enjoy it a little bit too!) Lysol is asking Canadians to share their photos of their “kid that touches everything” for a chance to win an amazing grand prize of $10,000 for themselves and $10,000 to be donated to the local school of your choice!
We all have a kid that touches everything, actually all three of my kids fit well into that category but my oldest, at 8, is probably the worst. Hand railings at LAX? All over them. Maybe dragging his face (mouth?!) along a railing for extra fun when mom isn’t looking. As much as I remind him how germs grow on surfaces, it seems to go in one ear and out the other when we’re out in public. I can only imagine what happens at school. Ok, on second thought, let’s just not go there because I don’t think I could handle it!!
Still, I have to be really conscious not to be a hyper-vigalent germophobe around my kids (believe me it’s hard!) because I want them to go out, experience all the mess and fun that life has to offer, yet still come home safe and hopefully without the plague by the end of the day. It’s a tough balance for me!
THE PRIZES
GRAND PRIZE: There will be one (1) Grand Prize available to be won consisting of a $10,000 cheque plus a $10,000 donation to the local school of the winner’s choice. Total value of the Grand Prize is $20,000 CAD.
SECONDARY PRIZES: There will be forty-nine (49) Secondary Prizes available to be won consisting of a $50 well.ca gift card each. Approx. retail value of each Secondary Prize is $50.00 CAD.
Here’s what I like about this contest – while the initial 50 photos chosen as finalists are the result of voting (1 vote per Facebook ID per day), the 50 finalists photos are judged by a panel and the winner is determined from that group, with the remaining 49 winning the secondary prize. I know many people don’t like voting contests (myself included) and some love them, so this is a good balance between the two perhaps? Full rules and regulations here.
One of my Canadian readers is going to win a Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System (includes the dispenser, batteries, and 1 refill). To enter, just fill out the Rafflecopter form below!

Yes! My 3yr old son! Once he threw raw eggs down the basement stairs!
My son likes to play in the dirt which is typical of boys. He does like to touch things.

My step daughter picks up everything and then wipes here hands on her clothes
I just have to give you my thought on voting contest and why I don’t enter them. I really wish company would stop running them and I even stop buying from company that runs them. I’m not the only one who feels that way, I even unfriend people that kept asking me to vote for them on facebook. I will vote only if I could win something nice by voting.
Voting contest are really a popularity contest. It doesn’t mater who as the best picture. It’s all about how many people you know on facebook or if you belong to voting group. Some people cheats.
Haven’t entered yet – but if I happen to catch a photo that fits…definitely. My kids are pretty messy and I’m pretty relaxed with it, as long as it’s not health-threatening or just disgusting. But as far as mess – it can always be washed or cleaned.
Entered here: bit.ly/QEtaRN and my nephew is one messy boy!!
My youngest daughter touches everything, she is two and very curious.

My makeup bag is my toddlers favorite hands in place!
My kids don’t touch everything anymore 🙂 Such benefits of older kids. 🙂
My kids touch everything everywhere. The older daughter touches everything and then touches something else including her baby sister with those yucky hands. And of course the baby is at the stage of touching everything and putting everything in her mouth. Germs everywhere all the time.
My child touches everything and then his fingers go into his mouth! ewww!
they touch all: dirt, mud, pick up spaghetti in hands, touch walls with dirty hands
