One Week Until the 5th Anniversary of National “Wash Your Nose” Day March 11, 2025

“We Encourage HHS Secretary Robert F, Kennedy, Jr. to Make Proper Oral and Nasal Hygiene an American Health Priority,” Nathan Jones, CEO of Xlear

AMERICAN FORK, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With just one week until the 5th Anniversary of National Wash Your Nose Day (March 11, 2025), hygiene advocates across the country will join Xlear, Inc., to urge Americans to recognize nasal washing as a critical daily habit—just like brushing your teeth and washing your hands. This event coincides with the fifth anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring the continued need for proactive hygiene practices to help prevent illness and promote respiratory health.

“As we mark five years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s critical to reflect on what we’ve learned about hygiene and infection prevention,” said Nathan Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc. “We wash our hands and brush our teeth daily, but we still neglect the one part of our body most exposed to airborne threats—the nose. On this National Wash Your Nose Day and building on the Make America Healthy Again movement (MAHA) #MAHA, we encourage HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to make proper oral and nasal hygiene practices an essential part of our public health initiatives.”

Why Nasal Hygiene Matters More Than Ever

National Wash Your Nose Day was founded by Xlear, Inc., a leading innovator in xylitol-based oral and nasal hygiene products, to raise awareness about the importance of nasal washing in reducing allergens, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens in the airway.

Research shows that the nose is the body’s first line of defense against airborne viruses, bacteria, and environmental irritants. Despite this, most Americans overlook nasal hygiene in their daily routine. Regular nasal washing helps in:

• Removing viruses, bacteria, and irritants before they affect us.
• Improving breathing and sleep quality by reducing nasal congestion
• Reducing the risk of colds, sinus infections, and respiratory illnesses
• Supporting overall immune health and wellness and improves physical performance

Americans Can Do Their Part to Recognize National Wash Your Nose Day on March 11 by:

• Washing their noses using a xylitol-or iota carrageenan based nasal spray.
• Educating themselves on the health benefits of proper nasal hygiene
• Join the conversation using #WashYourNoseDay on social media

With National Wash Your Nose Day just one week away, Xlear urges individuals and families to take this simple yet powerful step toward better health. More information here: www.xlear.com
