  • Why are Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes better to use than paper towels, sponges and dish rags?

    Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes clean and disinfect at the same time. When you use a sponge, dishrag or even paper towel, you can spread bacteria from one surface to another. Instead of killing germs, you are pushing them around and potentially increasing the contaminated surface area.

  • Can Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes be used outside of the home, too?

    Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes are also great for cleaning outside of the home, and our 9 wipe To Go Pack is an easy way to always have them nearby. Try them in the car or at work on desks, the computer mouse and keyboard, doorknobs, and telephones where germ levels may build up throughout the day. Carry them in your purse or pack them when you travel. They are great for hard nonporous surfaces in locker rooms, public restrooms, changing stations, restaurants, airplanes and cars.

  • Do Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes contain bleach?

    No. Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes are made with a bleach-free formula that’s available in Fresh Scent, Lemon Fresh, Kitchen and Lavender scents so they leave a light, clean scent every time you wipe off a surface.

  • How do you disinfect and sanitize with Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes?

    To Disinfect*

    Wipe surface to be disinfected; use enough wipes for treated surface to remain visibly wet for 4 minutes. Let surface dry. For highly soiled surfaces, clean excess dirt first.

    To Sanitize

    Use to sanitize/deodorize hard, nonporous surfaces. Wipe surface; use enough wipes for treated surface to remain visibly wet for 30 seconds. Let surface dry. For highly soiled surfaces, clean excess dirt first.

    For surfaces that may come in contact with food, a potable rinse is required. Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes will not harm most surfaces, including acrylic, fiberglass and vinyl. Not recommended for use on unpainted wood.

    * Use on hard, nonporous surfaces.

  • Are Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes canister recyclable?

    No. Dispose of wipes in the trash after use.

  • Is it acceptable to use Clorox® Disinfecting wipes on children’s toys and highchairs?

    Yes, provided the high chair tray that may come in contact with food and toys that may be mouthed by children are rinsed thoroughly with water after wiping.
