The Real Back-to-School Supply Kids Need

The Real Back-to-School Supply Kids Need

Sharpened pencils? Check. Lunchbox? Check. Clean hands between classes? That’s the tricky one. In busy schools, handwashing can be inconvenient, and truthfully—kids don’t love it. The line is long, the water’s cold, and recess is calling.

Where Germs Hide in a Classroom

From shared tablets to desk surfaces and cafeteria trays, hands touch hundreds of objects daily. The result? More chances for mess, odors, and germs. Traditional sanitizers help, but they can sting, dry skin, and don’t actually clean.

Meet Billy Clean: The Backpack Hero

Billy Clean is a no-rinse, no-wipe dry soap that removes dirt and germs—no sink needed. It’s fast and gentle, so kids actually use it.

  • Kills Germs:  Independent lab confirms Billy Clean kills 99% of Staph and e.coli
  • Proven clean: As effective as soap and water for everyday messes.
  • Microbiome-friendly: Helps keep up to 260% more of the skin’s microbiome than harsh antibacterial gels.
  • Kid kind: No sting on tiny cuts, no dryness.

How to Build the Habit (Without Nagging)

  • Make it visible: Tuck Billy in the backpack’s side pocket.
  • Teach the 10-second rule: Just pumps, rub for 10 seconds, done.
  • Gamify it: “Billy check” before snack and after recess.
  • Model it: Parents and teachers can use Billy too.
