As a parent of a soon to be middle school student, I am in back-to-school mode, which means shopping for school uniforms and school supplies. Many schools nationwide ask that parents contribute supplies, including disinfecting wipes, to help keep classrooms and common areas clean for students. I use wipes everywhere in my home to keep surfaces clean and sanitized. But what I did not know is that most disinfecting wipes have such harsh ingredients they say you must rinse surfaces that come in contact with food.
So I jumped at the chance to try out the new Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes which are said to kill 99.9% of household germs* and kill cold & flu viruses* – with no rinsing required.
Made from botanically pure plant extracts, Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes can be used on many hard, nonporous surfaces where bacteria or unpleasant odors are a concern including: desks, classroom counter tops, food preparation surfaces, floors and garbage cans. And these wipes can be safety used around kids, pets and food without the need to rinse after use.
I was sent for review a 35 wipe container of breeze scent Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes. I really liked that the container has a large easy access top lid. I started using them in my bathroom to wipe down the sink and toilet areas, which are the areas in my home that have a problem with staying clean. I also used them at work to keep my desk area clean. I really liked the fresh scent and the fact that they cleaned the areas without leaving any residue.
Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes are available in 2 scents (Breeze and Lemongrass) at most Walmart stores at a suggested retail price of 35 wipes for $2.48 and 75 wipes for $4.63.
