    Lysol Wipes for Cleaning?

    I looked up a few threads on this and didn't really get a good answer from any of them. I pretty much use Lysol wipes for everything around my house so I buy it in bulk (I have a 4 y/o son...nicknamed Hurricane Jake for a reason lol). I was wondering if anyone ever uses them to clean their tubs? I have a RBI rack, and curious if they are safe to use. I'd rinse with hot water and soap afterwards and dry out if I was to use them. I've been using a bleach/water solution to clean them but it just takes forever sometimes, and the Lysol wipes have a scrubby side

    Edit: I use newspaper as substrate, not sure if that matters or not. I just change it out, clean it, then replace with new newspaper.

    Sorry if this sounds dumb, but what is the difference other than Lysol wipes tend to be more "wet"? Is there a difference in the solution?

    Clorox is made by the makers of bleach and is a bleaching wipe.

    Lysol was designed mostly for bathrooms, which have harsher chemicals. If you can find a lysol wipe that is a bleach wipe then youll be fine..

    Ah, well that makes perfect sense thank you. I never really was "attached" to Lysol it just always seems to be what I grab when grocery shopping lol.

    Why not just chlorohexidine? Cheap, works great, and safe for your animals. I clean up right after messes and never needed to scrub with anything except paper towels.

    I've heard to use that, but I don't know where in the heck to find it other than online and pay $25 for a bottle and then shipping. Any ideas?

    Let me put in yet another plug for Natural Chemistry Healthy Habitat. All natural....I buy a gallon and for my small collection it lasts a long time. I spray it on, then by the time I get the papertowels to wipe it up, it has dissolved the poop...no scrubbing. It is well worth the money. I get mine from RBI.
