MUST-HAVE PRODUCTS
How cool is this?
Have you ever had trouble getting your kids to wash their hands? Really wash their hands — so they're clean? Here's the perfect product to ensure they wash properly!
Squid Soap is a clear, standard hand soap. It's a pump product so when your child presses the pump, an ink mark (vegetable dye) goes on their hand. The ink mark is nontoxic and child-safe. And your kids wash thoroughly 15 to 20 seconds until the ink mark is gone — and hands are clean!
We love this!
The product is made by by Airborne Health and the retail price is $3.99. Available in most grocery stores.

Live like a kid again
No matter their size, adults can have good clean fun with SquidSoap. True, SquidSoap is marketed toward kids, but how many other soaps squirt "squid ink" into your hands? It comes in a dispenser shaped like a squid. Pump a little "ink" onto your hand and wash away. Four 8.4-ounce bottles cost $15.99 at squidsoap.com or at Wal-Mart stores.

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.
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. SquidSoap is at some grocery stores and pharmacies or at 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.
