Dispenser lets kids know when to stop washing
Everyone knows hand-washing helps prevent illness, but few people know how long they need to wash their hands to kill germs.
SquidSoap was developed to teach that lesson to children.
SquidSoap is a liquid soap dispenser that puts a small, kid-safe ink mark on the child's hand when the pump is pushed. The mark can be removed only by washing the hands for 15 to 20 seconds, the amount of time often recommended by experts in infectious disease control.
The soap will be available at some pharmacies and grocery stores as well as at www.squidsoap.com or 888.557.3317.

Hand-washing fun
SquidSoap is a specially designed liquid soap dispenser that makes it fun for kids to wash their hands -- and for you to be sure they did.
The concept is simple. When the pump is pushed, SquidSoap dispenser puts a small ink mark on the child's hand. The ink mark can only be removed by thoroughly washing the hands for 15 to 20 seconds, which is the time recommended by most health professionals.
Created by John Lynn, a chemical engineer in Austin, Texas, SquidSoap ink is made with FDA-approved ingredients; it's even edible, according to the company. The dispenser is refillable, but the inkpad eventually empties. The soap is ordinary liquid hand soap, not the antibacterial kind.
To make it more fun, each SquidSoap comes with one or more removable squid toys your child can play with. Just launching in stores nationally.

Give your kid the squid
Okay, let's see those hands. To make sure the kids lather long enough to get at least the top layer of dirt off, hand them a bottle of SquidSoap. A small ink marker is embedded in the dispenser pump that marks the hand with a dot of ink. The dot will wash off with 15 to 20 seconds of thorough washing. The soft rubber squid can be removed for play. Clean hands help fight off colds, so start scrubbing. SquidSoap is at some grocery stores and pharmacies or at www.squidsoap.com

Clean, clean hands
It sounds so simple, but so many of us are so lax. Now kids can learn how to wash their hands with SquidSoap.
The dispenser has a small ink marker on the pump that leaves a dot on the hand when pressed. Scrub your hands until the ink washes off to assure that your hands are clean. Wash for less than the recommended 15 to 20 seconds, and the mark will not disappear.
