DEERFIELD, Ill.-(Business Wire)-September 21, 2009 - The Clean Hands Coalition established International Clean Hands Week Sept 20 – 26, 2009 to raise awareness about the importance of hand washing. While hand washing is a simple precaution we can all take in the fight against swine flu – the question for parents is “Are your kids washing their hands the right way?” Now parents can answer “yes” - making it fun and easy to get their kids to wash their hands healthier – with the Disney Musical Hand Wash Timers from Healthy Hands (www.GetHealthyHands.com).

Pediatricians and the CDC are published daily in articles with guidelines for washing your hands, which is the most important act you can do to prevent getting sick and making others sick. The Disney Musical Hand Wash Timers fit on any liquid soap pump and feature kids’ favorite Disney characters and music along with flashing lights to motivate kids to wash their hands for 20-25 seconds (the CDC recommended wash time to eliminate germs to and lead to better hygiene). Best of all, parents won’t have to change the brands of soap they know and trust because the patented timer design fits on all standard soap brands – wide and thin nozzle brands.

Popular tunes are tied to classic characters – like Disney Princess Ariel, the Little Mermaid, whose timer plays “Under The Sea”; or race car Lightning McQueen, whose timer plays “Real Gone” from the Disney/Pixar movie Cars (http://www.gethealthyhands.com/songs.html). With the Disney Musical Hand Wash Timer, the natural action of pushing down on the pump to dispense soap triggers the music to play. Each unit will get more than 1,000 uses – which is a lot of hand washing!

Parents have regularly tried to find “tricks” to get their kids to wash longer – sing “Happy Birthday” or say your A-B-C’s twice, there’s no need for that anymore.

“I look for simple solutions that really work” said Beth Rosen, mother of 3 from Deerfield, Illinois and founder of The Media Moms. “The Disney Musical Hand Wash Timers are great! Now kids will find the fun in washing their hands - they’ll be cleaner and have a healthy habit established for life.”

The Disney Musical Hand Wash Timers from Healthy Hands are available for sale at www.GetHealthyHands.com and select retailers. Celebrate National Clean Hands Week in September and EVERY WEEK, and help teach your kids a healthier way to wash their hands!
