Feel Safe this Winter with Sol-U-Guard

(Please read our disclaimer)

News reports are lately filled with stories of individuals—infants to the elderly—who are getting sick with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Influenza Virus. Subsequently, manufacturers of toxic grocery store brand products broadcast commercials for bleach and other products to kill germs in order to prevent these illnesses. However, according to the World Health Organization, the use of bleach, while it may disinfect within 10 to 60 minutes, is an irritant to mucous membranes, skin, and airways. It also decomposes under heat and light and should be used with caution around children and those with asthma and respiratory issues.

Recent research by the University of Rochester Medical Center has shown that exposure to environmental toxins and pollutions impair our immune system, “weakening our body’s defenses against infections such as the influenza virus.” For more information on how environmental toxins and everyday products affect our health, read Let’s Stop Poisoning Our Children!
 
So what to use instead? Thyme essential oil was used in ancient times to help fight against viruses and respiratory illness, and through research today has been shown to be effective in killing a number of viruses without any harmful side effects.
 
Patented Sol-U-Guard Botanical has been proved to be 99.9% effective against cold and flu viruses, among many others, due to the ingredient of thyme. The Melaleuca Wellness Guide recommends the use of Sol-U-Guard Botanical Mint & Herb Hand Wash to kill any germs. The "Guide" also recommends spraying hard surfaces throughout the house with Sol-U-Guard Botanical. And Sol-U-Guard Botanical is EPA approved to be used in hospitals, daycares, schools, and nursing homes.
 
So not only following common-sense rules of covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or upper shirt sleeve and avoiding close contact (kissing, shaking hands, sharing eating utensils) with others if you have cold-like symptoms, the additional use of Sol-U-Guard products and Thyme Essential Oil to disinfect home surfaces*, hands, and the air in your home just makes sense.
 
*Never use Sol-U-Guard Botanical on natural stone surfaces

Health Resolutions Success Stories

About a year ago we moved to a new place and everything around was dirty, especially the bathroom. There were mold and dirt in between the tiles everywhere; it was disgusting! I thought to myself "We are safe because we have Melaleuca products." So I started cleaning the house using Sol-U-Guard and Tub & Tile, and to my surprise, after finishing cleaning the bathroom, everything was so sparkling clean and white! There wasn't any mold anymore and most importantly I didn't use bleach for that. I use Sol-u-guard everywhere in the house to disinfect all surfaces and, since it is also a food-safe product, I use it to clean the fruits and vegetables. Thank you Melaleuca for creating such wonderful and safe products!

I have been using Sol-U-Guard Botanical ever since the product was introduced. When I clean house I spray it on the furniture and the carpeting for a fresh and clean smell, as well as to eliminate any germs that may be lingering from guests with colds or coughs. I spray down the mattress and pillows when I change the bed linens, and leave the bed open during the day to disinfect. It is my cleaner of choice for the bathrooms knowing it will kill 99% of the germs. How great it is not to worry about chemicals and toxins when using Melaleuca products. I have "happy" lungs.

I have 3 young children...1-1/2, 3, and 5 years old. Ever since my pediatrician told me that hand sanitizer doesn't kill the flu virus, I have been taking my Sol-U-Guard Botanical spray everywhere with us!! And now instead of hand sanitizer, I spray my kid's hands with Sol-U-Guard while we are out running errands. It doesn't dry their sensitive baby skin out like the regular alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and protects them from many more germs!! We have been healthier this year than ever before thanks to Sol-U-Guard Botanical!! Thank You Melaleuca

I am still discovering the many uses for Melaleuca's products, but one of my favorite discoveries thus far is for Sol-U-Guard Botanical. We used to use a multi-purpose cleaner-disinfectant spray to clean our kitchen sink and cutting boards, etc. especially after working with raw meats. But right on the back of the spray bottle, it says "Hazards to humans and domestic animals" - and we were spraying this stuff on our sink and cutting boards!! One day I tried Sol-U-Guard Botanical spray and was absolutely delighted with how our stainless steel kitchen sink SHONE (the other spray had left an odd film), and even more pleased with the knowledge that now we were using something SAFE and EFFECTIVE, instead of toxic chemicals!

After many years since selling our tent trailer, we missed it far too much and decided to purchase another used one. The new (to us) tent trailer was the perfect size with just the right conveniences. The only problem was a musty smell the first time we opened it. With my allergies, this was a real problem for me. I decided to spray all the cloth on the interior of the tent trailer with Sol-U-Guard Botanical spray. We let it dry for a couple of hours and closed the trailer. The next day when we opened it back up again, the musty smell was completely gone and has never returned. We are so pleased to be able to enjoy camping again!

Our family loves using and sharing Sol-U-Guard. My husband uses it to clean out his camel-back after each hike (so much better than using harsh, toxic cleaners in containers and tubing that you'll be drinking from!). We've used it to clean out a new well holding tank! My husband is a public school teacher and often sprays his classroom with it. We use it around our church building as well, especially in our baby classroom to clean toys and everything the little ones touch! I enjoy shopping thrift stores, but each item is sprayed thoroughly before using it in our home.

I have kids that are bedwetters. When they have an accident and I change the bedding, I spray the mattress with Sol-U-Guard. I like the smell and it deodorizes and sanitizes at the same time. A win-win for me!!!

My mother is in the final stages of her life and Parkinson's. Some of her problems lead to rather messy situations. It isn't that difficult to clean up, but I really appreciate Sol-U-Guard Botanical, because I know I am not poisoning my mom nor myself and I also know that when I clean up the messes, they are sanitized as well. I will not be without one in her bathroom which is where everything messy happens. Thanks, Melaleuca for such great science to come up with such great products!
