Closed - Share tips for keeping your family cold and flu-free for a $40 Amazon.com gift card!
To join Lysol’s mission and spread the word about helping to keep your family healthy, we are introducing a new blogging program. We want you to share what steps, tips, tricks or precautions you and your family take to stay cold and flu free in an original blog post. Do you take your family to get flu shots before the cold season starts? Are you teaching your kids to cover their mouth and nose with their elbows when they sneeze or cough, or to always carry some tissues? Have you taught your children the importance of washing their hands regularly after playing outside or before they eat? We can’t wait to hear all your tips for keeping your kids healthy and comfortable this cold and flu season.
Bonus Opportunity: Like Lysol® on Facebook and get a flu shot badge and an opportunity to receive a $5 flu shot rebate. Learn more about the flu rebate at www.lysol.com/flufree123
We're looking for quality over speed, so please read on.
