school list- what is a non-bleach surface wipe?

[Anonymous]

I am finishing my school list. Can someone tell me what brand is a non-bleach surface wipe? I am guessing that means no Clorox wipes, but what do I buy? Thanks, fighting a cold and can't seem to figure this out on my own.

Baby wipes?

There are non-bleach Clorox wipes. Lysol also makes wipes. I am guessing the teacher didn't want to specify a brand. Just read the label.

And no, the teacher doesn't mean paper towels or baby wipes. She means disinfecting wipes.

Sanitizing wipe without bleach. I like 7th generation.

Most of them are actually non bleach now. Clorox and Lysol wipes are both ammonia based and don't contain bleach.

Go with baby wipes instead. Many of the "surface wipes" contribute to antibiotic resistance.

A pain to find OP that's what they are!

And elementary schools contribute to the spread of germs.

A mild bleach solution is a much better cleaner. The bleach breaks down very quickly once exposed to air. That's why daycares use it to spray down changing tables and to sanitize toys. When I taught first grade after school I mixed a mild solution of water and bleach in a spray bottle and sprayed the desks, door handles, and communal markets. I let it sit 30 minutes while I graded papers. Then wiped the bleach up.

This. I'm not sure why schools want non-bleach. Mild bleach solutions are safe once dry and bleach is the only thing that will kill norovirus (or one of the few - Lysol wipes will not.) Lysol wipes also have to be wiped down with water after to make the surface food safe.

Costco carries Kirkland disinfecting wipes.
