1.0 out of 5 stars Great Stinky Cleaner, Product Has an MSDS, April 22, 2010

This review is from: Seventh Generation Disinfecting Multi-Surface Wipes, 70-count Tubs (Pack of 6) (Health and Beauty)

(What's this?)

Look these cleaned my counters superbly. I can't complain about that. And they are very moist so one wipe will get most of my kitchen counters completely clean and I have a ton of counter top space to cover.
But my god do they stink! Because thymol is an organic aromatic compound, you can't miss the smell and it appears to bind to the lipids in your skin, causing the smell to remain on my fingers after washing them. It's been over an hour now and they still smell.

NOW THE IMPORTANT STUFF:

1. Material Safety Data Sheet for this product because of the thymol.

2. "Keep out of the reach of children" Thymol is a Class I eye irritant and a Class II skin irritant. EPA states that this compound should not be used for indoor residential, or day care use. It is also a skin sensitizer, which means that you may develop a reaction to this compound with repeated exposure.

3.From the back of the label: "Wash food contact surfaces with potable water after use." Doesn't this defeat the purpose of using the surface wipes? I don't want to wipe my counters twice.

4. Sensitive Skin. I have sensitive skin and my skin freaked out.

VERDICT:
This is a no go.There are too many risks and not enough reasons to use the product. For green products that don't require an MSDS usemethod Cleaning Wipes, Cucumber, Case Pack, Six - 30 Count Tubs (180 Wipes).
For a superb disinfectant go with Green Works Natural Wipes, Original, 30-Count Packages (Pack of 12)s. The active ingredient is ethanol, which is what we use in our lab as anti-microbial agent. It is also used in some hand-sanitizers and is effective in very low concentrations. They are also compostable.
I have used both of these products and love them both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stays moist during use, February 18, 2010

By 

SisterZ (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Seventh Generation Disinfecting Multi-Surface Wipes, 70-count Tubs (Pack of 6) (Health and Beauty)

I've been using these for a few weeks to do a daily "swipe" of the bathroom sink/counter and toilet seat. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. I bought it somewhat on impulse when I found it for a really good price. I'm pleased with how moist the wipe stays -- moist enough that I can use one wipe for the whole bathroom (starting with the sink/counters and finishing with the toilet, and folding it over as I go). Of course, this only really works if you're doing it on a daily basis so that you're really just maintaining the area; if you weren't doing it daily (or near daily), you might need to use more than one wipe.

The smell is rather strong. It's somewhat of an antiseptic/medicinal smell and it does linger for a bit. At first I didn't care for it, but after a week or so, it actually kind of grew on me.

At this pace, it will take me about 10 weeks to go through one container; I cannot comment yet on how well the wipes will perform when I'm getting toward the end of the package.

UPDATE (7/21/10): I still had some left in one container 6 months after opening, and the wipes were still plenty moist! My teens don't like these wipes (particularly the smell) and prefer to use a spray with a paper towel for their daily "swipe" of the counters and toilet. But I still like these wipes for the convenience factor.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ancient formula, unusual scent, April 20, 2010

(What's this?)

Whether you like these wipes or not will depend to a great extent on what you think of the scent. It is not particularly strong but it is distinctive, and it lingers.

The active ingredient is thymol, a naturally occurring compound that has been used (as a constituent of various plant oils) for thousands of years for its antiseptic properties. Today you will find it in many mouthwash and toothpaste formulations. That may give you a clue as to the sort of scent it has.

The tissues are well-sodden and so an application goes a long way. They seem to be as effective as other wipes. They are worth a try.
