> 3 dayAfter trying numerous wipes - both natural and highly chemical, I settled on this for daily use. The smell takes a bit of getting used to, but is not bad and it is thankfully not heavily perfumed with chemical phthalates like most of the other wipes are. A big advantage to these is that they work well on a variety of plastics and metal products, and don;t seem to ever cause any mar to the finish. I have even used them to wipe clothes, after noticing stains or food spilled on them. Like any other wipe, make sure to wash your hands after using them, especially if you are going to touch your eyes. It is not a good feeling to touch your eyes after these! You wont go blind but you will need to wipe your eyes because they will tear up. Some limitations to these are: 1) They will not clean really dirty items or stains as good as a Clorox wipe. For example, Seventh Generation wipes are great for wiping a generally clean toilet bowl rim or sink, but if you have stains on anything porcelain, a Clorox Wipe will do a better job. 2) Like the Lysol or Clorox or most other wipes, as you get about halfway through the wipes in the cannister, they become very wet. If that is the case, I recommend just wringing the wet wipe out a bit and releasing some of the liquid before using it. Overall, I like these and have these on hand all the time now. I have come to rely on them for daily cleaning. I have even taken 2 at a time and attached them to my Swiffer Sweeper, and have used them as a wet mop. It works o.k., and is cheaper than buying the Swiffer wet mop refills, although the Seventh Generation wipes dont pick up quite as much dust and dirt.

> 3 dayCmon Amazon!!! You raised the price on yet, another item. Stop it already!! Almost $2 more in a month? No coupon either? Anyhow. I dont prefer the scent of these but I understand the reason they have the scent. Its because of the herbs that kill the germs. It has a similar scent as the all natural bug sprays. In time you grow used to it and the bottom line is. They do a great job. No testing on animals, no animal ingredients!

> 3 dayThere is some essential oil used in these wipes as a disinfectant and it is not pleasant at all. Otherwise, the wipes themselves are ok. Kind of oblong but large enough. Not sure how effective these wipes are at killing bacteria, though.

> 3 dayI love this product because it works but has no harmful chemicals. Some say they hate the smell of these wipes. In many cases its because people are so used to the smell of harsh chemicals - disguised as fragrances - in cleaning products, plug-in deodorizers, et al, that a natural aroma from a natural source is unpleasant to them. Over 25 yrs ago I learned that most household brands of cleaning, washing & deodorizing products are toxic to our bodies - so even though they perform as advertised, its not worth the risk to my lungs and my health in general. Im grateful that this product and products like this are available to those of us who want to use non-toxic products.

> 3 dayI am one of those people that doesnt make a purchase without researching every option and price to get a good deal. So I was searching for an all natural disinfecting wipe and after literally hours I decided to try this item out despite some reviewer saying they leave a weird smell. I actually do not mind the smell and you get used to it after awhile. I would say they are comparable to leading toxic brands like clorox in cleaning up messes. They do tend to foam up and leave an initial residue but dries clear. Anyone on the fence about purchasing an all natural disinfecting product should begin by comparing the ingredients in this product to that of the big named products, then google some of those ingredients. You too will soon realize not worth risking your own health by using anything besides natural cleaning products.

> 3 dayI love these wipes! I use these in the classroom and at home. The students all notice and really like the lemongrass scent. They are VERY sensitive to odors and will remark anytime anything smells bad, so I know this product is very natural. I dont love the scent, but its not offensive to me. At home I use these to clean out lunch boxes. I used to use chlorine based wipes for that purpose, but then I let the lunch boxes air out to get the chemical smell out, and the next day I would wonder if all the chemical fumes were out while I was loading up the organic produce and hot meal in their lunch. This product at least makes me feel like Im reducing the kids exposure to chemicals! Really nice product, cleans very effectively, classroom desks come out gleaming instead of smeared with pencil!

> 3 dayI received a few containers of these wipes as part of a sweepstakes package. Im not a huge fan of the smell so I gave them to my sons pre-k teachers to use in class. (Go to your spice rack and smell a jar of thyme, thats exactly what these smell like.) my husband likes the smell so he uses the disinfecting spray happily. Im going to be getting these wipes for my kids teachers to use in their classrooms instead of Clorox or Lysol wipes. Im not a fan of the smell, but Id rather use, and have my school use something natural.

> 3 dayThese are good - work as described. Did not tear when the dispenser was used - nice quality. They just smell really weird. The scent is almost overbearing and made me nauseous. I kept them and use more for outdoor surface.

> 3 dayI was so intrigued to smell this product after reading the reviews. I am happy to report that they definitely smell like a natural product, and my opinion is that the smell is pretty good. Not bad. I think it smells just like natural, bug spray, if youve ever used that. Its the thyme oil. If you dont love the scent, wear gloves, because the smell will cling to your hands for a while. So yeah, they dont smell like other (chemical) disinfecting wipes youve used. Im really impressed that a naturally derived, essential-oil based product is effectively disinfecting and EPA registered. I am also pleased that the wipes are really good and wet, not half dried out like a lot of disinfecting wipes Ive bought in the past (even name brand), because a quick swipe of any product is not enough to disinfect a surface; it has to stay wet for a bit to be effective. Packaging is perfect. Happy to have found them!
