These 80-count Lysol wipes utilize a polyester and viscose blend substrate. While this material is effective for spreading disinfectant on smooth surfaces, it has lower tensile strength and is prone to pilling on rougher areas like unsealed stone. The 80-count canister is built with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) body and a low-density polypropylene lid. The chemical formula is designed for effectiveness against common household germs, including cold and flu viruses, provided the surface remains wet for the full 4-minute dwell time.
To prevent the next wipe from failing to thread through the lid, it is helpful to pull the wipe at a slight angle rather than straight up.
Practical Realities
The mechanical delivery system, specifically the pop-up orifice, can show fatigue after about 50 cycles. The friction-fit rim of the lid is not hermetic, and in low-humidity environments, moisture can be lost over time. Additionally, gravity causes fluid to pool at the bottom, which means the last few wipes are often significantly more saturated than the first few. The "living hinge" on the lid is rated for approximately 120 uses before the plastic begins to show signs of stress. This product is designed for convenience but requires careful lid management to maintain moisture.
