They wash their hands, turn the tap on (germs on tap), dry them (germs on towel), walk to the dining room while bouncing their ball/holding doll (germs), pull out chair (germs on chair) and then eat! They have accumulated so many germs on the 10 step trip from bathroom to dining room that they need to wash again! Our house is kept clean. We are not anal about it and we dont have extra strength bacteria destroying cleaning products. I tend to choose the ones that smell pretty :) We are very rarely sick! <abbr><em><em>Laura´s last blog post...<a href="http://www.harassedmom.co.za/?p=1622" rel="nofollow">A few questions</a></em></abbr></em> While I encourage my kids to wash their hands before they eat it is kind of a pointless excercise!

I think washing hands is the core of good hygiene. I couldn't eat if I didn't wash my hands. Of course that doesn't include me camping 10 miles away from running water and ect.

Your body can only build up anitbodies if it has something to fight. If you live in a spic-n-span bubble, your immunities drop. Then one little germ can wreak havok. I keep my house clean enough. I wipe down the kitchen daily after I cook. I spot clean the bathrooms as needed, and give them a thorough cleaning every two weeks. Same with mopping floors and vaccuming. My kids and I never get sick. <abbr><em><em>dadshouse´s last blog post...<a href="http://dadshouseblog.com/2009/02/27/sweet-pick-up-lines-for-any-occasion/" rel="nofollow">Sweet Pick Up Lines for Any Occasion</a></em></abbr></em> I agree a little dirt is good for you.
