Clorox launches ‘Hogar + Sanito en Tres Pasitos’.

The Clorox Company, in partnership with Spanish TV network Vme, has launched a campaign to encourage germ prevention, entitled “Hogar + Sanito en Tres Pasitos.” The program aims to help families create a healthier home by following three simple steps: receiving a flu shot, washing their hands and disinfecting surfaces. The campaign also includes a specially commissioned song called “Hogar + Sanito en Tres Pasitos”, composed by children’s music author, Suni Paz and performed by Vme’s TuBebe host, Minerva Borjas, as part of two musical video vignettes featuring Minerva and the characters from the famous Spanish cartoon series, “Las Tres Mellizas Bebes.” The vignettes are airing on Vme and Clorox Latino’s Facebook page from now through March 2012.

“We thought the ‘Hogar + Sanito en Tres Pasitos’ song would be a unique and fun way for parents to entertain and teach their kids how to help keep the flu and cold viruses away,” said Jay Stilwell, marketing manager at The Clorox Company. “With this educational campaign, we hope to reach millions of Hispanic families as part of Clorox’s commitment to help create a healthier home for families across the country.”

The Clorox “Hogar + Sanito en Tres Pasitos” vignettes feature Venezuelan singer, Minerva Borjas, who is already known in the parenting world thanks to her TV show TuBebe, where she offers practical tips and helpful information for current, soon-to-be and new parents.

“I’m very excited to be part of this great initiative and share the ‘Hogar + Sanito en Tres Pasitos’ song with the little ones,” said Minerva Borjas. “As a mother, I know that our children’s health is our top priority, so what a better way to teach them to stay away from the flu than by singing and miming the key prevention steps together.”

As part of the launch of the campaign, Minerva will make a surprise appearance at an elementary school in Miami to teach children the new song and the importance of following the tres pasitos to maintain a healthy home.
The “Hogar + Sanito en Tres Pasitos” campaign will run through the end of the flu season in March.
