I clearly remember when we brought BK home from the hospital. I was convinced that I would somehow find a way to protect her from each and every germ-wielding hand that came near. But, if you’ve had a baby you know, the influx of people in and out of your house and hospital room in those first few weeks is tiring. I didn’t know what people had touched before coming into our house. I know it’s not intentional, but we pick up germs everywhere we go and most of the time we don’t even realize.
I stocked up on hand sanitizer, placed hand soap at each and every sink, and quickly directed arriving guests, friends and family members to the nearest sink. It didn’t take long until it was clear to me that we would need something more, I purchased trusted Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and Clorox Cleaner with Bleach to fight the surface germs. I was instantly a believer. Nearly three years later, we’re still using those same products to fight germs in our home. This year, it was the dreaded flu. It’s especially important for me to ensure that I take care of all the germs I pick up at school. I don’t want to be the one bringing them into our home now.
I use the wipes on just about everything and it’s important to remember to “think outside the countertop.” You all probably know exactly what I mean, we wipe down the countertops in the kitchen on a daily basis with disinfectants and cleaners. But there are other “hot spots” in our homes that carry germs as well, like toys, door knobs, light switches, faucets and the remote control. The Clorox Disinfecting wipes make it easy to quickly wipe down those surfaces as well.
It’s also important to remember that we can’t fight all germs by simply washing them away. Sometimes germs get to us, no matter how hard we try to avoid them. Give yourself the best chance possible to fight off nasty flu-causing germs by eating healthy, getting plenty of sleep and exercising. It’s important that our bodies are in the best physical shape to fight germs and bacteria as they come our way.
As a kindergarten teacher and a mother to a toddler, I find myself reminding children throughout the day to cough in their elbow rather than their hand, to wash their hands after they cough or sneeze. Simple germ-fighting tools that can go a long way in preventing the spread of germs. Sometimes adults forget too, but it’s a proactive way to limit the spread of germs. And hand washing? We’re in such a hurry that we don’t always devote the entire 20 seconds to washing or the additional time to allow the water to warm up. It’s a simple step that could keep you and your loved ones healthy. In a season where the flu is spreading rapidly, we should be armed with all of the knowledge to fight the spread and the necessary precautions.
Clorox stands behind their commitment to fight germs and bacteria and empowers people to keep their families healthy. Visit Clorox.com to learn more about the importance of disinfecting and other tips for keeping you and your family happy and healthy.

I love the Clorox wipes. They are a great way to clean up quick and to keep surfaces wipe down. I even keep them in my car.
I am all about the wipes. They are portable and can be kept in all different parts of the house as I have some in the bathrooms, Kitchen and garage.
I’m constantly disinfecting everything at our house. Working on a college campus, we are constantly coming in contact with any and every illness so we use Clorox constantly!

I love using the Clorox wipes. Being in college and living in a dorm room, not only is money tight, but space is as well. I don’t have a lot of under-the-sink space for every cleaning supply under the sun, but the wipes don’t take up much room. It’s super easy to grab them when it’s my turn to clean the bathroom or sink space, or even when cleaning my desk that somehow accumulates dust like nobody’s business. And personally, I think the bathroom always looks best after a Clorox wipe treatment than any other time
The Clorox wipes are hands-down my favorite! Easy. Portable. Disposable. Perfection…

I love the wipes. They’re easy and convenient with a wild toddler on the loose.
Not sure where we would be without the wipes! Just wish I could permanently attach them to my two-year-old’s hands!
I love using the Clorox disenfecting wipes. I use them like you do, on everything. Anything that gets touched regularly gets wiped.

Having a toddler in the house, I am constantly wiping down everything with Clorox wipes! They are great!
Constantly working with kids who love to touch everything, and think their germs are for sharing, we always use the disinfecting wipes.
My favorite product is the Clorox Clean-Up Cleaner with Bleach
I really love the wipes and pretty much have a bottle in every room. I keep little ones in home so little germs are always on my war path!

What a giveaway! Big fan of the wipes here, too
Clorox wipes are the best and I love that they dispense one at a time. My kids get into EVERYTHING and it’s nice that they can’t pull the whole roll out at once (although they did finally get that top off). They even help clean just so they can pull the wipe out.
Love the wipes for things like the light switches and remotes (things that I really don’t want to spray a liquid into!). The container also makes it easy to take them along when we go on vacation. It makes me feel better *knowing* that the bathroom is really clean in our hotel room.
Clorox bleach is simply great…I use to kill germs in the kitchen and bathroom. The wipes seem cool though!
I love Clorox wipes! I keep them everywhere and we use them on everything. Absolute favorite.

I keep their Beach Foamer bathroom spray Cleaner on hand for quick touch ups here & there. It’s great for counter stains all the way to door handles. (Just because it says “BATHROOM” doesn’t mean it can’t be used elsewhere =)

I have to agree with the majority and say that I love the Clorox wipes! They are just so convenient – I wipe my desk at work down with them frequently and use them around the house as well. Along with the wipes, I also like the Clorox Toilet Bowl cleaner – the bottle makes it easier to get the liquid where you need it to go, and the color makes it easy to see where you’ve cleaned. I have to have a clean bathroom!
Hands down, Clorox wipes are the best!!
I love Clorox clean-up for all sorts of cleaning tasks….particularly when the cat makes a mess outside the litterbox. And for cleaning the kitchen counters.
I really like the Clorox wipes too, but my favorite is Clorox Anywhere spray. I use it in the bathrooms and kitchen and I feel like it cleans so well!

Clorox Disinfecting Wipes are a necessity during cold and flu season
