Keep calm and carry on cleansing with the best handwashes for all the family

As the lockdown continues, I think we are all in danger of taking less care with handwashing, not just the little ones. The remedy? Now is a good time to inject a bit of fun and thoughtfulness into our daily chores and rituals. Bloom & Blossom, sold in supermarkets and online, has a range of products created especially for children and themed with Roald Dahl characters. The Twits Wicked Hand Wash, £3, is scented with green tea and eucalyptus and smells heavenly, certain to encourage both children and grown-ups to wash hands frequently and keep going for at least 20 seconds. Yope also does some really lovely natural hand washes designed to appeal to little ones, while the fragrances have the feel-good factor we so need right now, when moments matter so much. When hand washing is difficult, a sanitiser spray is an essential option, and Dr Bronner’s has just launched a Peppermint Organic Hand Hygiene Spray. The peppermint oil gives an instant tingling and uplifting hit that children will love. It’s excellent for use on-the-go and it can even be used to clean display screens.
