Household Products: Disinfecting Wipes

Much to my dismay, houses are not self-cleaning.  This review concerns household disinfecting cleaning wipes.  These wipes usually come in cylindrical containers dispensing one scented cloth-like item at a time.  Sure, it is probably cheaper to use vinegar or bleach and a reusable cleaning towel but sometimes you have to opt for convenience.

I received some feedback from a friend who regularly uses the wipes pictured below (Safeway brand).  She has a house full of animals and often hosts gatherings, which results in the need for frequent cleaning.

Ahhhhh, lemon scent.

Another view.

The Good:  These wipes get the job done.  They don't leave ugly streaks behind and they don't rip frequently.  The lemon scent is actually pleasant, unlike some cleaners with a stench powerful enough to clear the room.  Also, my friend says there are more in each package compared to other cleaners which makes them a good deal.

The Bad:  The dispenser thing is annoying sometimes, but both generic and name brand products seem to use the same clawed thing on top.  The cleaning power is worth occasionally having to squeeze your fingers in to fish out the next wipe.

The Verdict:  Safeway brand disinfecting wipes are definitely in.  If you are standing face to face with the cleaning aisle products and can't decide what to choose, these cheaper wipes are worth it.
