Seventh Generation Disinfecting Multi-Surface Wipes, 70-count Tubs (Pack of 6) Packaging May Vary

I use these wipes for both my home and in a laboratory setting. We rotate three different disinfectants through our lab setting to control microbial and fungal contamination, performing a weekly cleaning with one cleaner per week. The disinfectants we use are these Seventh Gen Disinfecting Wipes, 70% ethanol solution, and 10% bleach solution (again, NOT using these at the same time). I personally have a lot of issues with the fumes from ethanol and bleach, so much so that I do not help clean when we use them in the lab, and in my home I do not hang around when the husband wants to use disinfectants with bleach or bleach alternative in them (although it is fabulous for certain things), and ethanol is not a common household disinfectant, especially at the 70% effective concentration. I am a fan of the smell of these wipes (they smell fresh and clean to me, not chemical-like), my kids and most of my coworkers also like the smell of them, but they do smell strongly and not everyone will appreciate the smell. As with anything, there are people that will find they have sensitivities to certain products, so if you find or already know that you have sensitive skin, wear some gloves- I doubt you will find a similarly effective DISINFECTANT that doesn't also bother you. If you are cleaning a food surface, it won't hurt to rinse with water (like with any other disinfectant), but in my opinion it isn't as necessary with this product as with some of the others. Obviously don't ingest the wipes or liquid (or really go ahead if you would like to go for the Darwin award). If you are worried about the product having an SDS (formerly known as MSDS), relax- everything has an SDS- most people just aren't aware of it (because who knew water also has an SDS?!). The wipes have a lot of "juice" so they give a great kill time on surfaces and one wipe goes a long way. The bottom line is that this is a very effective natural disinfectant that I prefer for my home over some of the harsher chemical disinfectants, so if you want a DISINFECTANT and not just a topical clean (if you don't understand that, google the difference between cleaner, disinfectant, and sanitizer to determine your end goal, and then do your research on what products you will need to alternate to achieve your desired result, as no product will kill everything), this is a great choice!

After trying numerous wipes - both "natural" and highly chemical, I settled on this for daily use. The smell takes a bit of getting used to, but is not bad and it is thankfully not heavily perfumed with chemical phthalates like most of the other wipes are. A big advantage to these is that they work well on a variety of plastics and metal products, and don;t seem to ever cause any mar to the finish. I have even used them to wipe clothes, after noticing stains or food spilled on them. Like any other wipe, make sure to wash your hands after using them, especially if you are going to touch your eyes. It is not a good feeling to touch your eyes after these! You won't go blind but you will need to wipe your eyes because they will tear up. Some limitations to these are: 1) They will not clean really dirty items or stains as good as a Clorox wipe. For example, Seventh Generation wipes are great for wiping a generally clean toilet bowl rim or sink, but if you have stains on anything porcelain, a Clorox Wipe will do a better job. 2) Like the Lysol or Clorox or most other wipes, as you get about halfway through the wipes in the cannister, they become very wet. If that is the case, I recommend just wringing the wet wipe out a bit and releasing some of the liquid before using it. Overall, I like these and have these on hand all the time now. I have come to rely on them for daily cleaning. I have even taken 2 at a time and attached them to my Swiffer Sweeper, and have used them as a wet mop. It works o.k., and is cheaper than buying the Swiffer wet mop refills, although the Seventh Generation wipes don't pick up quite as much dust and dirt.

Great product but I am concerned that they will dry out before I can use them because they dont have a sealed top. I got a case of 6, shouldn’t they be sealed?

Hands down the best wipes. We keep one package in each room, one in each car and one in the garage to wipe down shoes and hands when we arrive home. No residue on surfaces, don't damage paint or anything else, and they leave your hands feeling clean without any stickiness! The scent is pleasant and lacks the sharp smell of harsher ones, but leaves everything smelling fresh & clean. Get a box and put one tub everywhere.

We dearly love these wipes and have, over the past few years, bought hundreds of canisters of them (and hundreds of bottles of the spray) for use in our homes, businesses and animal rescue facilities. We used to purchase them in bulk from another online provider, but they quit carrying them. I went back to their site to order a few dozen canisters and, poof, they had disappeared. I searched and found that Amazon had the wipes at the same price, so I was thrilled. Further, the Amazon ones are shrinkwrapped, whereas the other seller used to put these adhesive strips over the tops of the canisters to keep them closed in shipping. Removing these strips was a real PITA, so we were thrilled to see Amazon's were shrinkwrapped. No more cut fingers or ripped labels. I highly recommend this Seventh Generation product, which I also want to note is wonderful at quick stain-removal tasks (food on your clothes, carpet or car's seats or carpeting). They have just enough surfactant (soap) to do the job. UPDATE 3-2-20: Seventh Generation has apparently "updated" this product, which now has an orange lid and different label artwork. More importantly, though, I believe they have changed the formula to alter the former scent, which I dearly loved (I found it soothing), but which many people did not. Unfortunately, we have found that since the reformulation, these wipes now turn our fingers and fingernails orange...and it lasts for days! (Sure, we should wear disposable exam gloves while using them, but this isn't always practical.) I don't object to the new scent, but actually preferred the old one. And, as someone who's been involved in the graphics business since the '80s, I think they could have done a lot better on their label design. Further, just before updating this review, I visited the Seventh Generation site and noticed that they are still showing the former packaging (green lid and former label). Odd.
