Lysol Dual Action wipes feature a specialized bi-texture substrate with an abrasive side for scrubbing and a smooth side for wiping. The cloth is a non-woven polyester and cellulose blend that is roughly 15% thicker than standard Lysol wipes to support the scrubbing fibers. This added thickness helps prevent tearing on rough surfaces. The canister uses a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) body with a polypropylene lid. The citrus fragrance is designed to be lighter and less "chemical" than industrial versions, making it more pleasant for frequent household use.
Mechanical Considerations
The "scrubby" side of the wipe can sometimes snag on the dispensing orifice, which puts extra stress on the canister neck. The living hinge on the lid may lose its tension after 30 to 40 uses, and the lid must be clicked with significant force to ensure an airtight seal and prevent evaporation. As with many large canisters, fluid tends to pool at the bottom, which can lead to the last 10% of the roll being oversaturated. Users should also be aware that the abrasive side has the potential to micro-scratch soft plastics like acrylic or polycarbonate.
For a bulk supply of standard-texture wipes without the abrasive side, the Lysol 240-count bundle is a versatile household choice.
