I remember as a kid my mum had Detol for all sorts. Every graze/cut detol went on it. I've never purchased or used it, should I be? My son obviously has grazed knees quite often, I usually just clean it with cold water and let him carry on 🫣😅

Yep my mum had Dettol, she had a small metal dish that she'd put it in. The smell is something you can't quite forget 🤣

We use dettol antibacterial bar soap all the time

I add it to my baths

I have dettol for laundry?????

Leucillin antiseptic topical spray. To me, dettol is antibacterial cleaning spray

I use antibiotic ointment after cleansing with a saline solution. If it happened doing farm chores then I mix up Dakins solution instead of saline & I also keep 70:30 PGA water solution in my kitchen for sanitizing, if it’s a really light scrape, like a kitten or cat gets us a bit or our dog steps on our foot & scrapes us, we just grab my bottle & spray it a few times to both rinse & disinfect, keeps it from swelling. We’re all desensitized to cats, but a scratch will still give a bit of an allergic reaction, my dad always kept rubbing alcohol so I could avoid this as a kid & I’ve found that it works well, but my spray is just handy & rinses too.
We’re always covered in scrapes, scratches & cuts, but so far I’ve never had any get infected in 43yrs & neither have my kids, who are turning 5 & 17 next month. I’m pretty old school w/my methods bc it’s just easier to keep a supply that works safely for all species, like I only buy antibiotic ointment w/o pain relief.

So, I struggle to continually be looking in the app, but I want to continue talking to all the mamas! Is it weird to ask for people’s phone numbers? It’s so much easier to text for me with 4 kids, being pregnant and homeschooling, but I don’t want to weird anyone out or make them uncomfortable 😣 😬🫶🏼 what do you all think?
