Munchkie, our 3 (or 3 1/2 as she says) year old just started preschool, and although it’s only been 2 weeks since we started, we have already learned so much (and not just how to stack blocks and paint with water color)!

The other day, we had a parent meeting where we found out about government requirements for disinfecting in the classroom. Especially right now, with the H1N1 scare, all disinfecting products used at schools must be EPA certified as a pesticide. Needless to say, virtually all these products are toxic not only to germs, but to humans too, causing skin, eye and lung irritation or worse, and must carry warning labels. They also have very specific instructions for how they can be used around children who might mouth surfaces sprayed with these products.

For example, the Clorox® website states, “Q. Is it acceptable to use Clorox® Disinfecting wipes on children’s toys and highchairs? A. Yes, provided the high chair tray that may come in contact with food and toys that may be mouthed by children are rinsed thoroughly with water after wiping.”

I am surely not the only one who thinks it seems completely contradictory that in order to keep our children “safe,” we have to spray pesticides all around them! Yuck! No, that does not seem safe at all. And even with a water rinse, exactly how “thoroughly” is “thoroughly” anyway?

I decided to do some research on the issue and find a safer alternative to be used at my daughter’s Preschool, and came up with a product called PureGreen24– the FIRST and ONLY truly green, non-toxic, EPA-certified disinfectant on the market!

I am so excited about this product, I decided to bring it to my child’s Preschool and want to offer it to your child’s school (or your office or sports team or anywhere else you might need some disinfection) as well. Please go here to read more about PureGreen24, and you can shop here for PureGreen24 products.

Please note the case quantity discounts!
