The Lysol Disinfecting Wipes value pack is a standard choice for non-porous surface cleaning. The canisters are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for chemical resistance, while the wipes consist of a non-woven polypropylene and cellulose blend. The "cross-hatch" texture on the wipes is designed to help mechanically remove soil from surfaces without the cloth shredding. This product is rated as safe for many common home surfaces, including sealed granite, stainless steel, and finished wood, provided the manufacturer's directions are followed.
Usage Considerations
The snap-fit lid hinge can loosen after about 100 uses, which may lead to the wipes drying out. There is also a tendency for the liquid solution to pool at the bottom of the canister, which can be managed by inverting the container for 24 hours before opening. This lubricates the feeding teeth in the lid and helps prevent the wipes from tearing or jamming in the star-shaped orifice. While effective against many common viruses and bacteria, the high surfactant load might leave streaks on high-gloss electronics, so a follow-up wipe with a dry cloth may be necessary for those items.
For a version with a scrubbing side for stuck-on messes, consider the Lysol Dual Action Wipes.
