Happy Slob Rating for: Method Pink Grapefruit (also available in cucumber or lavender) All-purpose cleaning wipes
Cost: $3.99 Canadian for a package of 30 wipes (or about 13 cents a piece). This was on sale. I think it's regularly $4.99-$5.49.
Through Amazon you can get a total of 180 wipes for only $21.29 or less than 12 cents each. Not too bad considering how quick and handy these are.
SCORE: 4/5
What I loved:
- So easy to use, so fast and efficient
- Good at cleaning many surfaces, such as countertops. Taps and sinks were cleaned streak-free too, which I loved.
- Container sealed well, leaving the wipes nice and moist and not dried out at all.
- These are Non-Toxic and contain natural ingredients. The cloths themselves are 100% bamboo.
What would've made me love it even more:
- A stronger, more citrusy grapefruit scent. It had a clean scent, but it didn't smell much like grapefruit to me.
- If it had left mirrors and glass streak-free. (Definitely left streaks behind on mirrors and glass, but then most all-purpose wipes still do.) In a pinch, you could use one of these wipes and then follow up with a quick shine with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Perfect for:
- Fast clean-up jobs
- Kids' cleaning kits
- OUR cleaning kits! (Hey, these would be ideal for CODE RED CLEANING.)
- Keeping under the kitchen or bathroom sink for quick wipe-ups.
- Keeping in a desk drawer in your office to clean off icky keyboards, desk surfaces, etc.
Have you guys used these? Do you like them, love them or loathe them? Next time I plan on trying the lavender scent. In fact, I'm amazed that I didn't grab that one first, but I think I'm trying to broaden my horizons. ;)
What other wipes have you tried? I won't always use cleaning wipes, but for certain cleaning tasks they ARE incredibly helpful. Okay...post a comment or two please!

Hmmm...I seldom reach for the Clorox wipes, which are right next to the paper towels and vinegar :-) in the bathroom. The wipes can't pick up dust and dirt, and they're terrible on mirrors and chrome. I use 'em only on the toilet seat now and won't be buying another canister when they're gone.
Does Method pick up dust? I suppose I'm open to other brands.
I've been making my own wipes for years. I use a plastic coffee "can", take a roll of heavy duty paper towels (usually the strongest Bounty brand), cut in half with a very sharp knife, remove the cardboard from the center, place in the plastic coffee container, pour a mixture of 1 cup all purpose cleaner & 1 cup of water on top. Wool-lah. You can also use a plastic ice cream bucket (anything with a lid). Experiment with your favorite cleaners & scents! Patricia in Colorado.
Elsie - I found it picked up dust pretty well. And I agree that most of those disinfecting wipes are good mainly for icky toilets.
Anon - good idea! I've tried this before and it's definitely a more frugal option.
There is this company called Amway that sells "blank" wipes. They don't have anything on them. You can purchase their cleaner to go in them but I think I'll just mix up some vinegar and water. I'll tell you how they work.
