So I admit it, I am a germ PHOBE {freak}
Not really a freak, but I do have a phobia about germs.
I refuse to touch a toilet bowl handle out in public, {I use my foot}
and most times I try not to even touch a door handle, I use my sleeve if I can.
Have you ever had the Flu?
Well if you have, it is a virus you NEVER, EVER forget!
NOR, do you ever want to even risk getting again.
I had the flu back in 2009.
First time in my life.
Don’t even get me started about getting the chicken pox the year prior.
I was DOWN for the COUNT
for days.
and then it took
weeks to really feel back to normal again, on both accounts.
Now as for the common cold…well they just stink!
I get one once a year.
They sure do make you feel M I S E R A B L E!
I beat those pretty fast though these past few years.
I wipe DOWN everything with clorox disinfecting wipes.
I go in a store and the first thing I do is
wipe down the carts.
I get in the car
I sanitize my hands.
My husband, who is a Pharmacist, swears by the Clorox wipes.
He also wipes down
everything.
all
the
time.
You have no idea of the germs he is exposed to and things he sees on a daily basis.
Let’s just say YUCK together!
He rarely gets sick though.
In fact, I can’t even recall the last time him being down for the count.
We also have two sons, ages 15 and 11.
Now we all know schools are major germ infested.
In the beginning of every school year the teachers send home a wish list.
You can bet some Clorox wipes are always on the list, and you can bet,
I am sending my boys in with the jumbo canister.
Knock on wood, the boys rarely are ill.
They too fight a minor virus pretty quickly.
With this year’s flu outbreak, it is more important than ever for families to be prepared to help fight flu – both inside and outside the home.
Help prevent the spread of germs by practicing healthy habits like these:
Wash Hands Frequently: Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds.
Disinfect Germ Hot Spots: Disinfect the surfaces you touch frequently – like the remote control, doorknobs, light switches, faucets and plastic toys with Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to kill flu viruses.
Do the Elbow Cough: Cough and sneeze into your elbow instead of your hands to help prevent the spread of germs by touch.
Follow Good Health Guidelines: Eat right, exercise and get plenty of sleep to help boost your body’s ability to fight the effects of colds

My favorite product are the Clorox wipes. Not only do I use them at home, but also at the school where I work. They make cleaning so much easier!
~Erin
We ALWAYS are stocked up on Clorox Wipes. I am a MAJOR germaphobe as well. We never use a public restroom unless we have to and then only certain ones. The boys know not to put their hands in their mouth or on their face when at school and to wash their hands at school whenever possible. Knocking n wood this school year Oldest has had perfect attendance and Littliest has only been out one due to the fever virus.
I use the Clorox® Clean-Up® Cleaner with Bleach to clean our counters and tables to keep my family healthy
Hi Debbie,
I am probably the queen of germaphobes!!!! I Clorox everything. I use the disinfectant wipes all day everyday and I use their toliet bowl cleaner. Love their products and have been using them for years.
Thanks for the chance.
Kris
Hi Debbie!
I love your site!! Speaking of the flu this year we have a nasty one! My husband and I both have had it this past week. The main thing to do is stay at home and do not get out and spread those germs!! Like you we use hand sanitizer and wash our hands with soap and warm water. I believe that the song they tell you to sing is twinkle twinkle little star!! I am also a big fan of the Clorox wipes. I wipe my kitchen down with them and the door handles and anything else that we touch. This also includes the cell phones and computer keyboard!! I also worked in a pharmacy many years back and I was never sick either. I think that you are exposed to germs and you build up the immunity to most of them. I am hoping that you and your husband and boys do not catch this bug! It is nasty!! Have a great week and keep those Clorox wipes on hand!!
I love clorox! I am a germaphobe too…you ought to see me taking my little one to the bathroom in public…it’s laughable! Thanks for the info!!!
I’m firm believer in the Clorex wipes, use them everywhere…..I also use Clorex toilet bowl cleaner too…
Brenda
5 out of 6 people in my family have the flu and I’m out of wipes! Clorox Wipes are 1st on my list when I make it back to the store.
I swear by Clorox wipes, use them all the time everywhere. I’m also a big Clorox Bleach user in my whites and towels and sheets. My laundry always comes out crisp white and fresh smelling and germ free.
i love the Clorox wipes and use them every day for cleaning around the house

I just like regular bleach in the jug, but after reading about germs I feel like dipping my hands in the stuff!

I love the Clorox wipes and Clorox cleanup spray!!!
We use the bleach spray to disinfect countertops when preparing raw meat. 🙂
Stay well!

Well, a thousand dollars would get me a lot of Clorox Wipes! I won’t use anything else in my bathrooms. I hate cleaning with a cloth that I have to wash out constantly…eww!! A quick swipe with these on the counter or toilet and I’m done…just throw it away! What could be easier?
Clorox wipes and Clorox Clean-up are both great products!
I love the Clorox Wipes! I own a gym, and these are always on hand to wipe down the machines.
thats quite a giveaway.. my daughters first job was in daycare and thats when we learned the bleach water spray trick. used it to wipe down everything and it really helped keep the germs under control..
if parents would have done this at home it would have worked even better.
I have the wipes all over the house. I have a container in the kitchen and in the bathrooms and in the garage. I am very conscientious about the germs and not spreading them to other members of my family.
Clorox Wipes are the best! I especially use them in the kitchen after cutting up raw chicken- I have a fear of giving my family food poisoning- yikes!
I am a frequent user of Clorox Wipes! They are so handy!
I love Clorox wipes I have them all over the house. I am a germ person too, I don’t touch anything and after I wash my hands in a public restroom I make sure I have a clean papertowel in my hand to open the door.
Cynthia
I use the wipes all of the time. With 3 dogs, a cat and a teenager with tons of germy friends, I have tons of things to wipe down. My teens cellphone is wiped down daily.
Love Clorox products. Anything to help keep us healthy right? Those wipes are the best thing ever. In between cleaning is a breeze with a quick swish. Nothing ever gets out of hand that way. I like to keep things nice and clean and those help me stay on top of it! I love them!!
I love the Clorox Bleach for my laundry because it really cleans my whiltes.
We use the disinfecting wipes and the toilet bowl cleaner.

love the chlorox wipes for kitchen counters
Clorox disinfecting wipes help keep me and my family healthy.
I use Clorox Clean-up to wipe down the counters after each meal. SImple and fast. Clorox wipes in the bathrooms a MUST! My Mom used Clorox bleach for everything when I was growing up and now my daughter uses Clorox products in her home. It is a multi generational product!!!! Thanks for the chance to win.
Love the Clorox products! I also love your blog! Hope you & your family stay well!
I use Clorox toilet bowl cleaner.
We are more alike than you know,I too flush with my foot,and use the disposable towel to open the door,I can’t touch a grocery cart without first wiping the handle(Kroger always has lots of sanitized towels at the door).I keep bottles of hand sanitize in truck and car,and in my handbag.Call me crazy,but I am germ scared-e-cat.
I keep ton’s of all clorex products on hand at all times.
~JO @ LoblollyLane
I use my foot too, Debbie! Clorox wipes are something I would even want on a dessert island. I can’t live without them. I use them constantly and even have some in my car. Many thanks for the chance to win!
I totaly believe in Lysol wipes or clorox wipes. I spray the house with Lysol everyday during the winter. We use clorox cleaner for the toliets. Soap and water for the hand washing everytime I pass the sink.
So sorry about the chicken pox one year and then the flu the next! i’m a huge fan of the disinfecting wipes, especially for the bathroom …
🙂 Linda
I have not used these wipes before. Will check them out. I put Clorox in a spray bottle and dilute it with water and spray my showers with it.
We like the bathroom and toilet bowl cleaners, but I’d like to try the wipes too.

As a fellow germaphobe, Clorox bleach is essential for certain loads of laundry in my book, especially when laundering kitchen towels, etc., but like so many others here, the Clorox wipes are my favorite weapon in the war on household germs. Effective and convenient.
Thanks, Debbie- I have seen this promo a couple of times- it’s a good one- xo Diana
how appropriate…..I work at a junior college…..these things are my best friend. I actually set out a container of clorox wipes to take tomorrow…everyone is sick and touching everything. Clorox wipes to the rescue. We also love them at home….I use them for everyday cleaning and particularly when someone at home is sick…right this very minute my poor daugther is suffering from a viral ick…..my son wouldn’t use their bathroom until I wiped it down with clorox wipes….even he knows their power!!!! I don’t know how I lived without them!

My son is a heart transplant recipient (FIVE years post transplant!!!!!) and must take oodles of anti-rejection drugs which lower his immune system. I use Clorox EVERYWHERE! I keep a container of wipes in every bathroom and both the main kitchen and the kitchenette on his floor. I use Clorox bleach DAILY to clean the bathrooms top to bottom and in our laundry to sanitize sheets and towels. Thanks to Clorox I can gratefully say that even with his depressed immune system, my courageous son has rarely gotten the colds and bugs that inevitably come along. Even his doctors are impressed!

Use all of the Clorox products and I even travel with it…I take it on trips and wipe down all the germ prone items in the hotel room!!…

All great tips, Debbie. I am a germ phobe too. I work at a school and it is a little germ factory! Stay well.
Ok, I have never tried them, but I am getting the Clorox wipes!! I’m a little germ a phobe too. Here is a new one for you…I heard that menu’s in restaurants are the worst. something else I can obsess about
Carol
I L-O-V-E Clorox wipes! I keep them in the kitchen, the bathrooms, my car, everywhere that I am constantly wiping away germs!
I agree with you-germs are everywhere we go.
I try to make the best of it by cleaning all the
surfaces with wipes. I wash my hands a lot!
I would love to win the Visa card promotion!
I love your blog, too!
Chlorox is a great company and use quite of few of their products. I really like the disposable toilet brushes.
Tracu
Clorox wipes are a MUST in my household. I, too, am a germ-a-phobic! I use them everywhere! I have a can in the car, my beach bag, my purse, and in every bathroom and in the kitchen!
I carry the Clorox wipes with me all,of the time! I touch nothing – I even wipe off s/p shakers and ketchup bottles when in a restaurant. Love the idea of this great giveaway. 🙂
I love the wipes for quick clean up in the bathroom or kitchen. I use vinegar a lot for cleaning, but when I want something really clean I use the clorox wipes.
i like the bathroom and toilet cleaner to keep my family free from germs!

BLEACH! pour in toilets, brighten whites, disinfect everything! Couldn’t get by without it!
My favorite Clorox Product are the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. I honestly just started using them about 2 weeks ago. My daughter recently started in daycare and brought home the millions of germs that live there. After spending 2 weeks being sick my mother-n-law brought me two cans of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. Within days of using them the entire house was well again! (FYI- That’s three people) I keep one can upstairs and one can downstairs for easy accessibility! I use them for everything!! I love the fact that they are multipurpose and can be used on glass, stainless steel and wood! Name another product that can do that!?! GO CLOROX DISINFECTING WIPES! Thanks for getting my family well!

I love the Clorox wipes for the convenience they offer. Heck I can even give one to the kids and actually feel like they cleaned something. Best.invention.ever
Having a toddler, I am constantly wiping everything down with Clorox wipes! I love them!
Clorox Bleach Foamer for the Bathroom works the best for me.
Regular clorox is my old standby, but i do like those wipes!

Hi, Debbie!
What an awesome giveaway!!
I don’t like the germs either…I’m always wiping something down and using hand sanitizer. The flu has been awful this year. Working with kids all day at school doesn’t help! We’re always happy when the parents bring in their donations of wipes…very helpful!
Hope you and your family are all doing well. Have a great week! 🙂
I like using Clorox Wipes to get door handles and the bathroom floor!
You sound just like me! After years working in the public school system (plus raising 4 children), I have seen it all!
Cover your cough is my mantra!
I clean door knobs, controls, keys, steering wheel, every day…and especially after a shopping trip.
I even take cleaning products with us on trips so I can wipe down the hotel…and…this may sound really odd, but…I never sit, nor touch (other with my foot or a kleenex in hand) on any toilet – except my own – or a family mebers.
Clorox wipes are a staple in our home – right up there with flour and sugar. I have them in my car…mini package in my purse, in each bathroom and stocked up in our pantry!
We avoid theatres in flu season too.
Just common sense to some things…and germaphobia to others!
I love the clorox disinfecting wipes! Can’t live without them!
Clorox disinfecting wipes and Clorox bleach are my favorite products to keep the house clean and my family healthy.

I love the wipes, because they are so convenient. And I, too, flush with my foot.
I have never flushed with my foot. I just use toilet paper and throw it in when it flushes. I use their other products and am thinking I may need to pick up the wipes to try!
Hugs,
The foot is so much simpler:)
First of all, I am super impressed that your husband is not sick more being a pharmacist!
My favorite Clorox product is the disinfecting wipes and I use them daily in the kitchen. I am so obsessed with killing germs in our house (I won’t get into how I am in public) that the bathrooms are tackled with Clorox Bleach on a weekly basis and touched up here in there with Clorox wipes. In fact, I haven’t used a Clorox product yet that I don’t love!

After a bad flu last year we started disinfecting common areas with clorox wipes, like faucets, door knobs, keyboards, mouse, handles of any kind. We also use clorox spray to clean counters.
