Dettol no touch hand wash system

I save £1.99 and just use water, LOL. Unless I have been cooking meat and then I'll use soap - but I do try not to touch the meat, LOL. I use a long fork. But my kids do not really use soap either. Actually, they don't wash their hands before eating either. Usually they have been playing in the dirt or in the pond too.
My son and DD have only ever had one tummy bug each in 8 years and have never had food poisoning - when it goes round the schools, mine don't get it. I am of the belief that germs are actually good for you, your body will have a weak defense system if you do not let any germs in. People get all of these tummy bugs and viruses because they are weakening their defense systems by cleaning every inch of their house with bacteria killer.
If people have muscle weakness they are a great idea, but for general everyday? No point, defeats the object unless you do not touch anything else until you next wash your hands - and that would make you a bit OCD if you are going to wash your hands each time you touch something. I mean, someone else might not have washed their hands after going to the loo and then touched the door handle and you then touched that after them. Then there is the tap and the towel - which is probably harbouring god knows what, and anything else that might have germs on it. It is impossible to clean every germ, these pumps pray on peoples fears of getting sick.
And to the person who said to put soap on the tap - are you then cleaning the tap when you are finished? If my husband did that I'd kick his ar-se, I have enough cleaning up after the kids let alone having my husband smearing soap all over the flaming taps and sink as well. Grrrrrrrr.0 -

Tesco have a new system now - they don't send off coupons anymore. Only coupons pre-approved will scan - and the bill is sent without the coupons - which they then bin.
The looneys you spoke to are costing Tesco easy money - and you should report them to head office. I boycotted my store for 6 months - and they do seem to have fallen back in line now, after my many complaints.
I've been using these handwash systems for ages now - and the best part for me, is that the unit always clean - cos you never touch it. Its not just about the germs side. The manual ones always looked tatty, with gunk all over
The taps get wiped down with cleaner anyway - when you wipe the sink down.0 -

As long as you are not confined to using specific refills I may give it a go for £2.
Does anyone know if the coupon is working because someone said earlier it didn't?
Thanks
I used TWO £3 money off vouchers in Superdrug in one transaction. £2 each is no prob!!! (when the refills are £3! or pay £1 to £2 for a normal liquid soap anyway)
I have refilled my first one 'twice' (bought a few months ago 1/2 price in Morrisons) by jemmying the cap off and loading with foam bath.0 -

Your nearest Tesco Extra definitely takes internet coupons. I was visiting relatives in your area a week ago and went to it and used quite a few internet coupons.Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)
