Heart to Heart - 2015
Most households, I would guess, deal daily with keeping the bathroom sink clean. Soap scum and toothpaste can make quite a messy and germ-filled sink.
So what is a good solution? I found this handy and inexpensive little soap dispensing palm brush in the grocery store, and it tackles the problem perfectly. I bought one for each bathroom and sink, and find it to be most helpful.
Enlist your children to clean out the sink after they brush their teeth. They just might find brushing the sink more fun than brushing their teeth, and they will be learning how to be responsible for cleaning up after themselves. They will also be helping to slow down the germs in your home. Hopefully this will mean less illness in your family, and they can all help in being part of the solution.
When introducing a new job or concept like this to your children, these steps may make it "take" more easily:
1. First show them how to do it.
2. Have the child do it while you watch (and give advice).
3. Have the child do the job alone.
4. Inspect the job when the child finishes.
Soon your child will be doing the job out of habit, and helpfulness to the family so everyone will be healthier and happier.
After almost filling the palm brush with dishwashing liquid, I added about five drops of immune boosting essential oil to boost the cleaning effect. Even adding melaleuca (tea tree) oil or lemon essential oil will help with the effectiveness of the cleaning power.
