The Common Sense® Difference
Our Common Sense® product line isn’t just about killing germs; it’s about enabling a world where people feel safe to connect and interact. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Hand Sanitizer: Our alcohol-based hand sanitizer offers protection, acting like an invisible glove that shields your hands against germs. Unlike sticky gels, it dries quickly, feels silky smooth, and stays effective without needing constant reapplication.
- Surface Protectant: Using cutting-edge molecular technology, our surface protectant bonds to surfaces, providing durable germ defense for up to 90 days. Perfect for high-touch areas in homes, schools, professional sports teams and businesses.
- Car Sanitizing Fogger: Available in fresh scents like Lemongrass and New Car, our Prevent Car Fogger deodorizes and sanitizes your vehicle while neutralizing harmful pathogens.
- Personal Care Products: From foot care to wound care and personal hygiene, our products are designed with sensitive skin in mind, offering safe and effective solutions for all your needs.
Each product is proudly made in the USA and features eco-friendly ingredients, ensuring that while we protect people, we also care for the planet.
