Lysol and Clorox Disinfecting Wipes ~ How do they compare?
4 star rating

a busy person, a multi-tasker, a homeowner, all about 'easy'

    Easy to use, Convenient, Kills 99.9% of bacteria

Cons
    Lysol contains too much solution, Lysol wipes hard to get out of container

I'm all about quick and easy when it comes to cleaning my kitchen and bathroom. Having two children, I also like to make sure that any germs or bacteria are eliminated to avoid as much sickness as I can. I have tried both the Lysol Disinfectant Wipes and the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and I decided to compare the two so you, the reader, can determine which product might be best for you.   

Lysol Disinfectant Wipes 

These Lysol Disinfectant Wipes contain Micro-Lock Fibers that are three types of fibers that are treated and woven together in a "hydroentanglement process" for greater durability and abrasion resistance. The cylinder container of 35 wipes cost around $3.99. Lysol claims that their disinfectant wipes kill 99.9% of germs and even the bacteria that causes odors.

I had some issues with getting the wipes out of the container. Almost one out of every five would not feed through. This became annoying after awhile because I had to open the top and manually take the wipes out. The texture of these wipes did make cleaning up dried messes less of chore but with that being said, it's important to note that too much solution came off of these wipes. It was necessary for me to follow up with paper towels to wipe up all the extra wetness.  

***  3 Stars

Clorox Disinfecting Wipes

The Clorox Disinfecting Wipes do not contain any special fibers like the Lysol brand so are not as effective on dried on foods. The cylinder container of 35 wipes also cost around $3.99 but come lemon scented unlike the Lysol. Clorox claims that their disinfecting wipes kills 99.9% of bacteria in 30 seconds. These wipes had just enough solution to wipe up a mess and the surface to dry naturally. I liked not having to take that extra step.

I never had any problems getting the wipes to feed out of the Clorox container, which made my cleaning less of a chore. These wipes had just enough solution to wipe up a mess and the surface to dry naturally. I liked not having to take that extra step.

**** 4 Stars

My Final Viewpoint

The experiences that I have had with both of these brands of wipes have made it easy for me to choose the one that I think works the best. Although I do like the Micro-Lock Fibers in the Lysol brand, the abundance of solution on each wipe really did turn out to be a pain. I also was annoyed by having to open the canister after around every five wipes just to get one out.

I prefer the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes because of their convenience, ease of use and pleasant scent. I do have to scrub a little bit harder to get the dried messes out but I don't find that to be too much of an extra chore.

You could write a comparison of Lysol, Clorox & "going green" with old socks.

Good comparison. Now I am stuck thinking about MMs old socks.

Hi Laurie, great review as always!

Did you see my review on the Lysol wipes? I liked the extra cleaning solvent and I just let it air dry. I was at K-Mart and they had them on sale 2/$9 and my container has 80 pre-moistened wipes. I also got a spring waterfall scent which smells wonderful. I did have a hard time feeding the wipes thru the dispenser until I realized one thing. I was trying to start the roll from the outside towelette so the roll would try to unravel. Then I read the instructions and guess what? It said to start from the center of the roll and once I pulled the towelette thru I haven't had a problem. I like the Lysol because it gives you the same effectiveness for cleaning and disinfecting without the hint of bleach. Didn't you just love MikeMaroon's comment? I still have tears coming down my cheek as I see it:+)

You kill me! Are you sure you aren't related to Steve Martin? Your comment sounds like something my Daddy would say. I am so glad we can have a sense of humor here. Keep the reviews and the comments coming. They brighten my day ;+)

Me too, and I really like the recent coupons I have gotten to help me out buying them.

Thanks for comparing the two! I have the Clorox Wipes in my kitchen now and love them so far.
