Germ Warfare

Feb 7, 2010


Lysol, the No. 1 surface disinfectant brand recommended by pediatricians, has taken its battle against germs into the personal care arena with the rollout of the No-Touch Hand Soap System. For use in the kitchen or bathroom, it helps stop the spread of germs by automatically sensing hands and dispensing antibacterial soap that kills 99.9 percent of bacteria, including E. coli, MRSA and strep, according to the manufacturer, Parsippany, N.J.-based Reckitt Benckiser. The hand soaps are also enriched with moisturizing ingredients and available in three fresh scents: Soothing Cucumber Splash, Cleansing Green Tea & Ginger, and Refreshing Grapefruit Essence. A Lysol Healthy Touch No-Touch Hand Soap System Starter Kit, including one dispenser, one 8.5-ounce hand soap refill and 4 AA batteries retails for a suggested $9.97, while further soap refills in 8.5-ounce packaging go for a suggested $3.47.
