Guide Review - MomSpit - Universal No-Rinse Cleanser

I'm actually a huge fan of no-rinse cleansers. I consider myself the infection control officer of our nine person household. That means its my job to ensure that the kids clean their hands as often as possible. So I'm a slave to huge tubs of no-rinse cleaners, because let's face it, they're easier to use before dinner and when out of the house. The down side to my addiction is the nasty medicinal, chemical smell that goes along with even the nicest cleanser and the alcohol. This is where MomSpit comes in.

I'm not a personal fan of the name, but once I just tried the product I was sold. The scents are light and airy smelly - clean. Even my 14 year old son doesn't mind using them, though he's been opting for the unscented one. The pumps produce just the right amount of foam, and are easy enough for my four year olds to do it alone.

Unlike some cleansers, there is not a lot of rubbing required. It does leave a light feeling on your hands and face for a minute or two, but that quickly dissipates. The smell is very subtle so it can be used even for very sensitive noses, including my husband's ultra-senstive allergy ridden variety.

My kids still don't like anything that could potentially slean off dirt on their faces, but they tolerated the MomSpit. In fact, the foam was so much easier to direct and to wipe quickly than the typical gels. You do need to make sure the kids don't just try to make bubbles with the foaming dispenser.
