Clorox Bleach-Free wipes utilize a substrate primarily composed of plant-based cellulose fibers. These are engineered to be compostable in municipal environments, meeting ASTM D6400 standards. Because they use a citric acid-based disinfecting formula, they are safe for use on finished wood and stainless steel without the risk of pitting. However, this plant-based cloth has a lower burst strength and higher friction than synthetic blends, making it prone to pilling or tearing on rough grout or unfinished surfaces. The three-pack value configuration is a standard for household volume but requires attention to seal integrity.
Storage Tips
The polyethylene (PE) lid hinge has a fatigue life of approximately 150 cycles before there is a risk of it snapping. To maintain effectiveness, it is recommended to store these canisters upside down occasionally. This helps redistribute the cleaning solution to the top wipes, preventing the first several wipes in the roll from becoming undersaturated. While these wipes are effective against common pathogens, the higher surfactant load can sometimes leave visible streaks on high-gloss black surfaces, which may require a quick buff with a dry cloth for a perfectly clear finish.
If you need a more durable wipe for scrubbing without the concern for compostability, the Lysol Multi-Surface 4-Pack uses a stronger synthetic fiber.
