Keeping your kid’s play area clean and germ-free is top priority for parents. From baby toys to stuffed animals, every object in your child’s hands can be a germ delivery system. Our Disinfect and Protect System offers a game changing approach to hygiene that lets your child have fun without compromising safety.
Children learn through touch, so their plush, plastic, wooden toys, and even bath toys become breeding grounds for dirt, bacteria and viruses. Cleaning and disinfecting these toys not only keeps them looking and smelling great but reduces the risk of illness.
Common Sense Surface Protectant offers a game-changing way to keep toys cleaner for longer. Unlike traditional disinfectants that only kill germs on contact, our formula bonds to surfaces, creating a protective shield that helps prevent cross-contamination and the spread of harmful microbes—giving parents peace of mind between cleanings.
Regular cleaning is necessary, but a two-step process of disinfecting with Smart Touch followed by applying Common Sense Surface Protectant offers long-lasting protection against microbial growth.
Why Cleaning and Protecting Toys is Important
Toys are more than just playthings; they play an important role in a child’s development. Since young children put toys in their mouths all the time and share them with others, bacteria and viruses can spread quickly. This is especially concerning during cold and flu season or in daycare and school settings.
While traditional disinfectants kill germs on contact, they do not provide ongoing protection. Common Sense Surface Protectant works by forming a long-lasting antimicrobial coating on surfaces, inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew for up to 90 days. It is important to note that Common Sense Surface Protectant is not a disinfectant and does not kill germs on contact.
To ensure proper cleaning and protection, follow a two-step process:
- Disinfect the surface using Smart Touch, a hospital-grade disinfectant.
- Apply Common Sense Surface Protectant once the surface is dry to provide long-lasting protection against microbial growth.
