Product Name: Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes.

Product Information: “3Many schools nationwide ask that parents contribute supplies, including disinfecting wipes, to help keep classrooms and common areas clean for students. But Did You Know… that most disinfecting wipes have such harsh ingredients they say you must rinse surfaces that come in contact with food?

This back-to-school season, try New Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes. They kill 99.9% of household germs* and kill cold & flu viruses* – with no rinsing required.

Made from botanically pure plant extracts, these no-rinse wipes are an effective cleaning solution for the many hard, nonporous surfaces where bacteria or unpleasant odors are a concern including: desks, classroom counter tops, food preparation surfaces, floors and garbage cans. New Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes are here to help you clean easy and breathe easy. It’s the no-rinse, one-step solution for effective, everyday cleaning.

*Kills over 99.9% of household germs: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Enterobacter aerogenes, Influenza A virus, Rhinovirus type 37, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Type 1. Sanitizes hard non-porous non-food contact surfaces of Staphylococcus aureusand Enterobacter aerogenes in the presence of light or moderate soil load with a 30-second contact time.”

Product Price:  Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes have a suggested retail price of 35 for $2.48 and 75 for $4.63.

Purchase Information: You can purchase them in most Walmart stores beginning August 2011.

My Thoughts:  I love disinfecting wipes.  I use them all the time.  Especially after I wash the counters down with a sponge, I like to go over them with a wipe just to be sure they are clean.   I was happy to try out the new Scotch-Brite Botanical Disinfecting Wipes since they are much safer to use around kids.  I received a bottle of the lemongrass and it had an interesting scent to it.  But it’s a clean scent and not very overpowering, which I really liked. Sometimes some cleaners have too much of a harsh smell.

The wipes worked great and I did notice they dried a little faster than my usual ones so that’s nice.  These really would be perfect for the teachers to keep the germs down in the classroom.  I haven’t met my daughter’s teacher yet but when I do I’m going to ask her if she could use any of these.  I have no problem sending in supplies to the school if they need them.

Have you tried them yet?  If so what did you think?

    I use any disinfecting wipes that are on sale. I keep a container in my kitchen and each bathroom so we can regularly clean up messes and I prefer the throw away kinds as there is no chance of reinfecting the area as with a cloth.
