I’ve done a couple of blog posts about why I don’t use disinfecting wipes.
Well, here’s the podcast version.
If you’ve reverted back to using wipes because COVID-19, here are some great reminders why they aren’t as effective as you probably think.
Sanitizing vs. cleaning - toxin-free living during a pandemic
First of all, we don’t always need to sanitize, some times we just need to clean up dirt. You don’t need a harsh chemical for that, just a good cloth. I prefer to spray my counters down with a vinegar and water solution.
There are good and bad bacteria in our environment and by killing all bacteria we are creating super bugs and antibiotic resistant bacteria. No bueno!
Most people don’t read the instructions on a wipes container. Did you know you’re supposed to use enough wipes to keep the surface visibly wet for 15 seconds? Or, that it’s recommended to wipe down the surface with potable water and wash your hands after use? Using wipes may not seem as easy as you think if you actually follow the directions.
Plus, most conventional brands contain harmful ingredients.
