CleanWell Review and Giveaway! Closed!

"Hands down, personal hygiene is top of mind and bacteria is about to face some clean competition. Hand sanitizers and soaps are quickly selling out on shelves nationwide, almost as fast as they are fighting against microbes and bacteria on your skin. On the natural front, CleanWell is the only range of hand sanitizers proven to kill 99.99% of germs without using alcohol, Benzalkonium Chloride, Triclosan or other toxic chemicals.
CleanWell travel friendly hand sanitizing sprays and wipes are made with ingredients from renewable plants, primarily thyme. With a first-of-its-kind natural chemistry, CleanWell proudly introduces a unique formulation of plant essential oils proven to meet FDA standards for 99.99% germ killing efficacy, and a safe and effective natural alternative to the toxic ingredients found in most antibacterial and sanitizing products. CleanWell products also do not include the controversial ingredient, Triclosan, widely used as an antibacterial in household hand sterilization products. Triclosan is a known endocrine disruptor, a synthetic chemical that when absorbed into the body either mimics or blocks hormones and disrupts the body’s normal functions."

I've mentioned before that I'm a germ freak. I wash my hands a lot and am always wiping off Lovebug's. I was sick a lot as a child and teenager, and I hate the thought of Lovebug getting sick like I used to.
I always have a bottle of hand sanitizer on me. And it wasn't until Lovebug was born that I realized how bad some of the chemicals in them really are. I didn't want that stuff to be on my hands if I touched her. But it wasn't always convenient to get to a sink to wash with water and soap.

A quick internet search led me to CleanWell. After checking out their site and seeing that the products are natural and use Thyme as an antiseptic, rather than alcohol, I contacted them. They were sweet enough to send me a couple of their hand sanitizers, which I have been using daily and keep in the car, diaper bag, etc.

  • Kills 99.99% of germs
  • No alcohol
  • Safe for kids
  • Leaves hands sof
  • Cruelty free (not tested on animals)
The above reasons help me to love CleanWell! Two quick sprays is more than enough to cover my hands and keep me germ free. I don't feel bad about using it on Lovebug either! I still prefer soap and water, but if we aren't near it, CleanWell is a great substitute. Plus, their spray gets 4x more uses than a gel sanitizer!

The only thing that took a little time to grow on me was the smell. It's not your normal sanitizer smell. It doesn't smell bad by any means, just different than what I'm used to. In this case though different = better for everyone!

CleanWell is so much more than just Spray Hand Sanitizers. They also sell Hand Sanitizer Wipes and Hand Soap in some really great scents. Everything is very affordable too! I look forward to using CleanWell for a very long time!



CleanWell has generously offered to give FIVE Moma Lovebug readers a travel size CleanWell Hand Sanitizer!

I learned that Thyme is a very sustainable plant that is hardy and grows quickly. It is also not harsh on your hands!

Sounds great!

The site taught that soap & water are admittedly the best method to avoid getting sick, but hand sanitizer is a good alternative when there are not sinks around.

I learned that CleanWell was started by Sam, whose son Conor had an immune disorder. Lucky for us, they found a safer, healthier way to clean using natural ingredients instead of chemicals.

I am heading to Guatemala in a few months, and the spray hand sanitizer would be what I most would want to try as I would keep in my purse just in case we are someplace without water and want to get something to eat...
