Sanitize with Purmist ~ Giveaway!

I'm sure by now many of us have forgotten (or at least tried to forget) the drama of H1N1. The fear of getting sick drove us to go to extreme measures to keep our hands clean, and kill germs. While it may currently be summer, and the threat of such viruses is on the back burner, we all know that winter is coming again, along with the threat of some new and scary virus.

Purmist is an awesome Canadian made hand sanitizer that I'm really loving right now! I've never really liked hand sanitizer, because of the nasty smell and the way it burned my hands and dried them out. I've been very pleasantly surprised with Purmist!

Purmist is unique in the fact that it uses essential oils in the blend in order to keep the germ killing going for 4 hours after application! I think that's pretty awesome. Especially for our kids. I mean, they touch EVERYTHING!! It's nice to know that if I use Purmist on my kids hands, I won't have to reapply it every 10 minutes.

I was also happy to be able to try out all the different scents that Purmist offers. I think my favorite is the orange. It smells awesome! None of that nasty alcohol smell at all.

Here's some awesome information, just to confirm how great Purmist really is:

MKR International Inc, the Canadian corporation that manufactures Purmist, has learned tests by an independent laboratory accredited to prove Purmist kills the H1N1 Influenza virus.

The independent test results show the application of Purmist provides a major boost in preventing the spread of infection. The patented formula is made of essential oils and ethanol -- an alcohol derived from corn -- and is clinically proven to kill H1N1 on contact within 15 seconds.

ATS Labs tested the product last month at 15-second, 60-minute and four-hour intervals to determine its efficacy against H1N1. Results showed the Purmist hand sanitizer killed 99.97 per cent of the H1N1 viral cells at all three stages of testing.

I'd encourage you to give this hand sanitizer a try. I know I won't be buying any other brand anymore.

WIN IT!
Purmist has offered an awesome prize pack for one lucky Glimpse reader! The prize pack is worth $60 and includes:
*One wall mount mister system, including the mister, a 400 ml bag of Purmist, batteries and installation hardware
*4 7.1 ml personal misters, one in each scent

I wouldlike to try Purmist because I you can use it with little ones because there is no risk of illness or intoxication to children or infants if they lick their hands or put their hands into their mouth.

I would like to try it because keeping little one's hands out of their mouth after touching who knows what and/or washing their hands constantly is impossible!

I'd like to try Puremist also for my kids. Sometimes kids don't want to wash their hands, but they don't mind something like a sanitizer, and with a little boy in the middle of potty training, if it's that or not washing hands at all, I'll take that!

I'd like to try Purmist because I like to have sanitizer on hand for when my 2 year old granddaughter comes over especially after playing in the dirt outside. Dont have to worry about her putting her fingers in her mouth as its non toxic and I love the fact that you dont have to keep reapplying it since it continues to kill germs for 4 hours. Awesome product.
