The packaging is cute, but I wouldn't buy the product for the packaging. If anything, I guess I'm less inclined to buy something in a pretty package b/c the question I ask is if the company cares so much about a pretty package, how much effort and attention went into the quality of the product?
The wipes work well and have a nice scent. And w/ the current events swarming around the swine flu, I used these wipes to sanitize my desk at work. I am certain the swine flu attention is boosting clorox sales! ;-)
As is true w/ most wipes, I felt the moisture on the cloth evaporated very quickly. Also, on some surfaces and colors, I see a lot of "lint" left behind (e.g. on my black office phone).
I was very interested in trying these because I've never really been a cleaning wipes kind of girl. These worked great though. They had a clean smell that wasn't overpowering. I loved how quick it made cleaning and because it's Clorox, I knew it was working. The wipe also didn't leave any lint behind. I especially like the addition of the new cute canisters.
This product does a wonderful job. It cleans well, smells great and the canister looks presentable on the counter top. Would definitely purchase.
I've always loved using Clorox bleach as a disinfectant/cleaner but I was never a big fan of their cleaning wipes. I remember I used them years back to clean the interior of my car and was appalled at the little white specs they left all over the place.
It seems they've fixed that issue.
I used the new wipes all over my apartment, on hard wood surfaces, tiles, counter tops, electronics and anything else I could find and everything was nice and shiny with no specs in sight and it picked up all the visible dust which is a huge plus.
I really like the designs on the new canisters and was very pleased when I received the light blue one with the simple rounded-squares design. Blue is my favorite color so I definitely can't complain although I must admit I would have been happy with any of the new designs. No need to hide these little gems! I'm keeping mine on my desk within easy reach.
My only complaint about the wipes is the lemon scent. It isn't overpowering or intrusive but I'd much rather have a neutral smell or some other scent besides lemon, orange maybe?
I was excited about trying these wipes out, 'cause I'm an avid user of disinfecting/cleansing wipes. I usually purchase Lysol Wipes or Kirkland's (from Costco), but I liked the idea that the packaging could also look nice, rather than just blah. I usually put the wipes out of view, but still within reach. With these wipes in the decorative canister, I can leave them in plain sight so that even my husband can find 'em and use 'em when needed (whoa, brilliant!). I like that the actual wipes have some texture to help really get up the stuck-on messes (most cleansing wipes don't have that feature and useless against big messes). And the scent is lemony fresh! I like these wipes, but I'm not sure I'm willing to pay extra JUST so they look nice on my counter. I'll still probably purchase whatever is on sale or I can get the best deal on with coupons, but if that ends up being these Clorox wipes... I'll definitely appreciate the fact that they're nice to look at as well as effective!
For cleaning, I'd much rather prefer the old-fashioned cleanser scrubber. Used them on my bathroom counter and found that it doesn't pick up dust at all...although on the container, it does say to first, "wipe before disinfecting"...which makes me think: this is kind of redundant. If you clean well with regular cleanser, it should be sufficient to disinfect.
That said, once my counter was cleaned up, these disposable wipes were good for quick clean-ups and even some stubborn stuck-on stains. I even used it on a glass bottle that had some sticky stuff left on it from the sticker price tag - got that out no problem! Also good for toilets (again, for quick wipes). Smells okay.
Because I got this as a sample, I can't say for sure, but if I had to pay more for this over other disinfectant wipes, I wouldn't bother. The container's pretty, but it's still so bulky that I wouldn't leave it on my counter. It's the equivalent of trying to make maxi-pads more "discreet"....you just can't! I tuck mine away in my cupboard anyway. When I first got the wipes, I actually found it to be too soapy (which left soapy streaks). It's better now (~ a week later), but that worries me because it seems to be drying out. Lastly, the wipes don't "pop up" properly. I've had to dig in there to grab a wipe a couple of times (they're supposed to "pop up" like how kleenex boxes are...)
I gave it a "very good" for quality because they do feel very strong and sturdy. Didn't fall/rip apart. However, once again, I feel it's only good for quick clean-ups. For more heavier-duty cleaning, stick to the old-fashioned scrubber!
I recently received Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Decor Canisters in the mail to test for Chick Advisor and was a bit surprised to find the lid was not even on inside the package. Now the wipes were still really damp and have a great fresh smell. I do not usually like the smell of cleansing wipes, but these were not too overpowering, just nice and light...almost refreshing. So I set out to do some much needed Spring Cleaning with my new canister of wipes and voila....sparkly clean results! I love that they are now packaged in 8 attractive, stylish designs as I do not like the original design. The canister that I received has some cheerful floral design which looks rather nice on top of my toilet in the downsatirs bathroom.
I like to make sure that everything in the bathroom is clean and germ-free as I have many kids coming and going.These wipes are easy to use, smell great and look nice enough to keep out in the bathroom.
I must say i'm not that fond of spending alot of my time cleaning but the Clorox Disinfecting wipes does make the job alot easier.I really like the fresh scent smell to these wipes it makes using them more pleasant.These wipes are thick & sturdy as well for the tougher cleaning jobs.I mainly used these wipes in the bathroom & kitchen for disinfecting & the chores that need to be done quickly.I really like the shape of the container & the designs are pretty too.I didn't like all the writing & labeling on the front bottom of the container because it takes away from the attractiveness of it all.I know they have to put all the warnings & info somewhere on the container but maybe all of it could go on the back so the front could be prettier with just the design.I like the way the lid opens...makes it easy & so convenient to pull out a wipe when needed without struggling to get the lid open.Overall i really like the product & definitely would buy them in the future...great product!
First let's talk superficial - the "decorative" aspect is COMPLETELY ruined by the unnecessary advertising they put on. It has the potential to be pretty, but at the end of the day they ruined it themselves.
I find it to last not nearly as long as other disinfecting wipes (Lysol being what I'm thinking of). I also agree with the wastefulness it encourages being unacceptable.
THAT SAID! The texture of the wipes is excellent for making sure a surface is REALLY clean. They also offer 3 sets on instructions depending on just how clean you want your surface to be. I see this product being very useful to put on your desk in the office, in the bathroom at home, take it on the road, and even in hospitals (it not only disinfects, it can completely sanitize something). I just wouldn't use it for everyday messes, it seems like it was meant for hardcore sanitizing (e.g. like the phone at work if the receptionist is sick!). Of course, they claim it removes 99.99% of germs, which Lysol also claims and you can get that for 1.99 each if you wait for a sale.
But at five bucks a pop, it's not something that will become a regular household item in my house - only if my family gets sick.
I love the fresh smell and it wasn't overpowering and didn't linger on and on. The container is very attractive and easier to use than the cans with the pull out tissues. The wipes are thick and I was able to wipe a large surface before needed to get a new one. I am gonig to sit this in my bathroom on the counter so that I can quickly wipe down the toilet, sink or whatever else I need to quickly. I will definitely be purchasing these and using them in the future.
