Clorox Free & Clear Compostable Cleaning Wipes, Light Lemon Scent, 75 Count, Pack of 3 (Pack May Vary)

These are very good cleaning wipes--they get the job done without leaving behind residue or a funny smell like many cleaning wipes can do. I use them both in the kitchen at home for general cleanup after cooking (they work great on the stove top as well as the counter). I also took a tub to work to clean my desk and work area. They are safe on a wide variety of surfaces, including most anything in the kitchen, as well as finished and painted wood. Even better, they are compostable, so much more friendly to the environment than other wipes. However, you need to be aware of one thing. Despite being from Clorox, these are NOT DISINFECTANT WIPES. They dont claim to be, so its not like Clorox is trying to pull a fast one. However, Ive read other reviews where people are happy about disinfecting with these wipes. I hate to be the one to break it to them, but they are NOT disinfecting, at least not with these wipes. Some people will just see Clorox on the label and make [faulty] assumptions about the product.

I like the smell and their durability.

Clorox makes some great cleaning products and these compostable cleaning wipes are no different - except way better for our planet! They have a nice lemon smell and are thick enough that they do not rip when scrubbing. Since they are made from safe cleaning chemicals you can use them around kids and pets. I really like these and will use the compostable version in the future.

Easy to use and lots of them,

Great for all types of messes.

They work well and the order is light

Weve been using the clorox disinfecting wipes for some time. These are supposed to be compostable so I decided to give them a try. They seem to clean surfaces as well as the disinfecting wipes, but although these smell the same clorox dont claim any disinfecting ability so dont get these for their germ killing abilities. That said, most of the breathless 99.9% germs killed! claims are pretty bogus themselves since that 0.1% is still a huge amount when youre talking stuff like salmonella or botulinum. I wouldnt rely on any of these household cleaners to do more than reduce bacteria by some degree, and virtually any cleaning product will do that. These wipes are made out of plant fiber and are therefore compostable. However, most public waste management companies tell you flat out not to put this sort of thing in the compost bins, even the compostable stuff, because they dont have the facilities to really handle it. Its only really compostable if youre doing your own composing, and only in very small quantities. Since its plant material thats not coated in bacteria killers even in a landfill it will eventually biodegrade so its still marginally better than the other type of sheet, but dont get this if you think youre going to save the planet by going green - if you wanted to do that youd be using soap, water and a washable cleaning rag instead of disposable cleaning products. The main reason to get this sort of thing is because its convenient and works pretty well to clean up small messes and leave the area smelling OK. At $18 (or $0.08/sheet) the price is pretty high but think about it as a convenience tax and that might be worth it, and its not as bad as the stuff that doesnt biodegrade.

What can I say? The god damned kitchen counters are always dirty and Im always wiping them. I like sanitizing wipes.

good wipes

I prefer to use products with chemicals that are less harsh. Most wipes are not to be used on food-contact surfaces because of their chemicals. These wipes tend to dry out quickly.
