Mom's germ-repelling experiment wows millions in viral video

It's so simple.

"My husband saw the trick posted on Barstool Sports and said he thought it would be a great experiment to show our 4-year-old when he got home from school," Sarno told "Good Morning America."

The Boston area mom of two said she thought her followers would enjoy the video, bur she never thought it would reach as far as it did.

"Everyone seems excited to share it with their littles," she said. "And there's lots of tags of teachers so they can try it in their classrooms."
