kita309 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I use hand sanitizers all of the time. Especially this time of the year. I have a daughter who has Cystic Fibrosis. So we try to be extra careful around people that are sick.Because she is allgeric to most antibiotics, we do not have very many choices for antibiotics. (We still do hand washing in the home) But when we are out, like touching buggies and opening doors. I love Bath and body's sanitizers, especially if you are out somewhere and need to freshen up. It is a great way to add a fragrance and smell good. But for me with 4 kids and a husband that are always using it when we go out, they do not last very long. The other day I was out of mine from Bath and Body, so I decide to use some of the FO's that I had gotten from Candle Source. I had several from them that are skin safe and a few of them that were the ones that I was using from bath and body. I had several bottles of germ-x around. So I added some of the FO's. They turned out great. The germ-x run around 50 cents to $1.00 for about the same size that you would get from them. (I think theres are $4.50) But usually you can go to Dollar Tree and buy the large ones there. I lurk around this site from time to time. So if someone else has posted this idea or already does it. I am sorry for reposting. I just wanted to share this with everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soycrazy Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Walmart sells the 40oz bottles of the germx and I'm pretty sure it's around the same price as bc's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerina Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 My bottle of GermX has a REEEALLY strong smell already. I wouldn't think I could cover it up at all. But it smells great- like cucumber watermelon. Just becareful of what or how much FO's you add... i've used some hand sanitizers/wipes etc, that make you taste the perfume for an hour or more after using them. That sucks!!!! Lol.

kita309 Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 you must be buying one of their scented ones. I looked Germ-x up and they do have scented ones. It looks like they offer 2 or 3 different ones. The only one that I have been able to find has no scent at all. I just like the idea of being able to freshen up and put a scent back on while I am out running errands. So far I have tried the brown sugar and fig and pink sugar and the baby lotion. But you are right, some of the FO's are stronger than others and you just have to add a little at a time. It still saves me a ton since I have 4 kids that love going to bath and body. Anyone have any ideas for my daughter to make some things to sell. She is 9 going on 40. I would really like to do something for her. She has to be home-schooled because of the amount of medicines that she has to take. Which is sad because she wants to go to school and see her friends. But she is so frail. She is allgeric to most antibiotics so when she is sick it usually means about a month stay at the hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
