Expensive
I only buy Clorox wipes when they are on sale which doesn't happen often or if I have a coupon. They do work but I can buy a store brand for half the price and they work just as well if not better.
I'm sure it does the job. But smells gross.
I have tried a few different Clorox disinfecting wipe smells. They all smell gross and the smell stays on your hands. I won't be buying anymore. I'm sure it disinfects just fine. But the smell is gross.
I found the Clorox disinfecting wipes to be a convenient way to clean up in the bathroom and other places where I want to keep surfaces clean/sterile. However, I prefer other wipes since I found the odor for these wipes to be overpowering and unpleasant. The price is sometimes cheaper for chlorox than other brands but unfortunately I would still prefer the other brands of disinfecting wipes than Chlorox.
i found that they didnt clean tough messes at all. but they are perfect for little touchups in the bathroom or around the house. I have small children so i really couldnt take advantage of the nice canisters.they still had to placed out of reach. although i do apperciate the look! I would suggestion them for quick touch ups. i wouldnt pay full price for them!
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).
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!
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.
These wipes are very good at cleaning - bathroom, countertops, etc. I even used them on some old dirty patio furniture, and they worked very well.
The packaging is very attractive, and the wipe dispenser is really handy - just grab a wipe and go. Just like baby wipes.
BUT - it smells like chemicals. And there are a lot of chemicals listed on the container. I'd be weary of using these on anything in the kitchen where food could touch. I usually use Method brand, which is priced well, attractively packaged, handy, and doesn't contain harsh chemicals (and smells divine).
I liked these Clorox Wipes for their effectiveness, but because of all the chemicals, I think I'll stick with Method.
I recieved the Clorox DIsinfecting Wipes from Chick Advisor to try out. I do enjoy the wipes as they smell sooo good! It says on the package "Low-Streak Formula" but I tried the wipes on a glass table and they did leave a streaky film. I really enjoy using them in my car for a quick fix if anything gets spilled or dusty.
The canister is pretty... but I don't like leaving stuff lying around. I think the pretty canister is a gimmick to justify a higher price.
The wipes themselves are handy, I'll admit. If company is coming you don't have time to clean with conventional methods these are handy to quickly wipe down the bathroom and leave a light, non-cleaning-product smell. I found, however, that they were a little too wet. They didn't pick up dust so much as pushed it around and made it mushy. If they were a little drier they would have been more effective. I left the lid open for a day and the next few dried just a little, which made them easier to use.
Like a number of other reviewers, I don't like the waste factor! What happened to the days of Reduce, Reuse and Recylce?? It seems everything is disposable these days!... disposable cutting boards!!?? Come on people! I tend to clean with less wasteful means and use these wipes as a last resort or when I don't have time. I don't think I will miss them when I run out.
