The Tub O' Towels heavy-duty wipes are designed with a 10-inch by 12-inch surface area, providing a larger saturation capacity than standard household versions. The chassis relies on a high-count polypropylene canister, while the wipes themselves feature a poly-cotton blend substrate. This material offers high tensile strength that resists tearing on wood, though the bonded webbing fiber may snag on serrated or burred metal edges. The chemistry contains a 9-solvent blend including limonene and lanolin; while effective for grease and ink removal, these ingredients can degrade certain thin-gauge plastics if left in contact for extended periods, such as inside a plastic glovebox.
Mechanical Features
Features include cleanly cut perforations that help reduce "daisy-chain" wastage where multiple wipes pull out at once. The polypropylene canister is impact-resistant and designed to handle drops from heights of up to 4 feet when full. However, the lid design lacks a rubber gasket for long-term airtightness, which can lead to a high evaporation rate once the primary foil seal is breached. Specifications indicate the living hinge on the lid is rated for roughly 200 cycles, but there is a risk of fracture in cold climates. Because of the chemical residue, a rinse is recommended if used on surfaces that come into contact with food.
If you prefer a botanical-based cleaning solution for your surfaces, consider the Seventh Generation Lemongrass Wipes as a milder alternative.
