Review of Lysol Sanitizing Wipes

I have a daycare, and I care for several children before and after school. All but one of the children are boys, and they seem to constantly get the underside of my toilet stained with urine. At times the toilet base and floor suffer as well. What to do? I still use Lysol disinfectant spray, but the Lysol Sanitizing Wipes were on a great sale, and I wanted to see how well they worked. There are other similarly styled products on my store shelves, but I chose Lysol Citrus Scent Wipes because I have been so impressed with the Lysol Spray.

Product Description

My tub shaped container holds 40 pre-moistened towelettes, which measure 7 inches by 8 inches. Before you can use them there are a couple of steps to take. Remove the light green lid, grab a wipe in the center of the roll, pull it through the opening in the lid. After replacing the lid, pull the wipe through the slot.

Since these claim to have “Micro-Lock Fibers”, I was expecting them to be more textured than they are. These are also quite thin, in my opinion, but since I haven’t tried any of the competitor brands I don’t know how they stack up to other sanitizing wipes on the market. Compared to baby wipes, they are pretty thin.

The Citrus Scent really disappointed me. I expected to smell oranges, lemons or grapefruit, but unfortunately all I do smell is chemicals, which in my opinion, is a very unappealing odor.

The Lysol Wipes can be used in bathrooms and kitchens. They are not recommended for polished or bare wood surfaces however. Surfaces can be sanitized by keeping them wet for 30 seconds, or disinfected by allowing them to remain wet for 10 minutes.

Performance

Using these wipes to clean my toilet and surrounding area is much easier than using a rag and spray cleaner. For one thing, they are thin enough that I can slide them under the bottom edges of the toilet, where urine sometimes accumulates.

They come out of the container very wet, and remain wet up to the very last wipe. (I suppose this is because the directions for cleaning hard non-porous are to let the surface remain wet for 10 minutes.)

Until my daycare boys get better with their aim, I have found a quick easy way to clean up after them. My bathroom smells cleaner since using the Lysol Sanitizing Wipes, and much less time is involved in the toilet cleaning.

Of course I do more thorough cleanings periodically, but for the in between times when the boys are a bit messy, these wipes are ideal. I don’t mind paying a bit more for the added convenience.

I use other surface cleaners in my kitchen, but use these wipes all the time for cleaning my toilet and surrounding area.

Price

I purchased these at WalMart. They came two tubs to a package, and only cost $3.00! That’s only 4 cents a wipe. Well worth it.
