Clorox Ick Awards

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Clorox.

Have you ever had a case of the ickies?  Well if you are a parent I am sure you have!  You know that moment where everyone screams "ICK" and then of course right before you can do anything about it - sometime touches it!  We have these moments often in the summer time at the pool.  I am "kinda" crazy when it comes to disinfecting public spaces.  The first thing we do when we walk into the pool is claim our "space".  Before ANYONE puts anything down, I pull out my clorox wipes and go to town.  I wiped down the entire table top and edges and the chairs too!  Why?  to keep away the ickies!

Often times when we go up in the afternoon or evening we find some pretty ICKY remains!  Melted ice cream, candy, spilled drinks and of course what does that attract???? You got it!  PESTS!  So with my arsenal I am sure to keep those ICKIES at bay so we can enjoy our summer fun!

My family KNOWS how I feel about the ICKIES and they know that I am always prepared!  Before the first spray of sunscreen or someone jumps in the pool I am cleaning! With my clorox wipes canister in my pool bag, I am always prepared.   Not only do I have a canister in my pool bag, I carry an individual packet in my purse and van at all times.

Clorox is teaming up with famed Chicago improv troupe The Second City Communications for the Clorox Ick Awards on Wednesday, April 9 from 6-10 p.m. ET. The #ickies promise to be the messiest virtual awards show ever, featuring real-time comedy inspired by your real-life moments.
