Dirty Hands?

A Public Service Announcement

Think of the sixties…

Good morning, listeners.

This is your friendly reminder to wash those hands with everyone’s favorite soap—

Clean Soap™️!

For best results,

all households are advised

to begin the day clean.

Use the approved Clean Soap™️.

One bar per sink.

One sink per household.

Lather until the water runs clear.

Clearer than yesterday.

Clearer than your neighbor!

It reaches beneath the nails,

into the folds,

behind the ears

where those pesky problems like to hide.

Regular use prevents the widespread of diseases.

Regular use promotes healthy homes.

Any irritation caused by Clean Soap™️,

is simply fake news.

If irritation occurs,

continue use.

This sensation is normal

and the burning will pass.

Please note:

Some stains may resist initial washing.

This does not mean the soap is faulty.

It means you have not applied enough pressure.

Scrub gently.

Scrub thoroughly.

Scrub until there is nothing left

but skin.

Parents are reminded

to supervise children at the sink.

Questions may arise during early washes.

Reassure them:

clean is safe,

clean is good,

clean is the same for everyone.

Unwashed hands pose a risk

to themselves

and to others.

Neglect may result in isolation,

corrective rinsing,

or permanent dryness.

Do not mix soaps between households.

Do not account for missing bars.

Do not ask what screamed before the foam rose.

This product has been tested.

This product has been approved.

This product has always been here.

For your comfort,

for your protection,

for the future we all share—

Wash often.

Wash together.

And remember:

If the water turns dark,

you are doing it right.
