Journey of A Germ: A Dettol Sponsered Post

This time of year it seems easier to catch colds and other viruses, so obviously the more ways to prevent catching something the better! Just like their summer campaign (colds aren't just for Winter you know!) Dettol have a new ad explaining how easy it is to spread germs. I really like the ad because it's about an ordinary act of visiting someone then going to a coffee shop, which is something I do. It was fascinating watching just how many places the germs went!

This is a sponsored post as Dettol have kindly provided me with both their Anti-bacterial Surface Cleanser Spray and Wipes, which are proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria, including E.Coli, Salmonella MRSA and the Flu virus, and can help me combat germs this Winter.  

I love the wipes because they are easy to use, aren't overpowering in their scent and I'm convinced they do what it says on the packet. The spray is the same, only in non-wipe form. The wipes are available from most supermarkets with the RRP at £2.03p, so the actual price is usually cheapter than that, and the spray isn't too expensive either.

No-one wants a cold!

As someone whose immune system is rubbish, staying germ free as much as I can is really important to me. Any virus hits me harder and takes far longer for me to recover than the average healthy person. Even if your immune system is normal, taking measures to reduce germ exposure is important as it helps both yourself, your loved ones, and everyone else, including those like me with lowered immune systems.

To explain why I love Dettol and happily support them, I think you'd like to know that I regularly use Dettol AntiBacterial Laundry Cleanser with every load that is 40'C or 30'C.

I'm wary of lower temperatures being unable to nuke all the germs, and since I'm keen to avoid germs, using Dettol AntiBacterial Laundry Cleanser gives me peace of mind which I used to achieve at 60'C washes. While I realise not everyone will see the point of using this product, it is genuinely one of the few products I make sure I use. I use it as well as conditioner and it helps make my laundry smell gorgeous! Just 2 capfuls of this blue liquid and I'm more than happy to wash at 30'C. You can wash as low as 15'C with this product, but I haven't done that yet.

Find out more about these and other Dettol products on their website. I wholeheartedly recommend them for giving peace of mind and having products with pleasant fragrances.

Say no to Germ Gremlins! A Dettol Sponsered Post officially called 'How far will you go to avoid the doorknob'

I can still see some autumn coloured trees so this pic is valid!

Hi all! I'm sure like me you want to avoid germ gremlins, which as regular readers know are far from welcome in my house since I take longer to recover. 

Germ gremlins involve lots of resting in bed for me, which, as cute as this picture is, I don't enjoy doing.

For healthy people (without a pre-existing medical condition) and not so healthy people (with pre-existing conditions, like me) alike, the more we can do to say no to germ gremlins the better. 

Somehow I don't think germs will go away if I stare at them menacingly and wae a sword around - that's called wishful thinking!

That's why after watch the fun seasonal health video below from Dettol, I wanted to share it with you. 

Confession time...

 Ok, so I do get a few freebies in exchange for hosting this on my blog, only once I've posted it, but I've used Dettol products before and like them, as well as wholeheartedly wanting to show that it's easy to keep yourself healthier over the colder months filled with seeing friends & family. I'm quite sure there will be few posts for this video quite like mine including cute anime pics!!! 

Here's another pic for good measure - if you get ill this winter, you may be doing this for a day or two.

You can find out more on how to reduce the possibility of having a party with germ gremlins on Dettol's website.  Enjoy the video! It made me smile ^o^
