Modern Mamma Marvels

I was sent some Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to review. We’ve been fans of these since BigBrother decided to attempt potty training. So, why did I find it necessary to review something we already use? Well, this is a new scent. And the new scent just so happens to be my favorite: lavender! Plus the wipes claimed to be thicker and that’s just what I was needing.

You see, BigBrother isn’t quite tall enough yet to comfortably rest his feet on a footstool as he sits on the normal potty, so he is more comfortable doing his business on the little one. As such, I, the mommy, have to do some cleaning. For all of you without children who are potty-training yet, let me tell you: just dumping the contents of the potty bowl into the large toilet is NOT enough. Doing that is the sure way to Smelly Street. Plus? Bowel movements make messes. No two ways around that one.

We already had a contained of lemon scented wipes in the bathroom for use. Prior to first using the new wipes, I had cleaned out his potty with one of the “old” ones. For my first test with these new wipes, BigBrother also decided to give the potty bowl a good once over… if you know what I mean. So the wipes had their job cut out for them from the get-go.

Truth be told, they are thicker. They’re not huge. But they did a better job at absorbing whatever urine was left at the bottom of the bowl after dumping it out and cleaned up any solid matter without smearing or getting my fingers icky. Speaking of icky, did you know that Clorox wipes kill 99% of the bacteria? That’s a must for a potty, don’t you think?

And? Oh? The smell? Is lovely. I do find some of the other smells to be a bit strong but this lavender is oh-so-soft and oh-so-lovely. I am thrilled. We use lavender oil in LittleBrother’s cloth diaper pail and I am thrilled that our bathroom can now smell similar!

So, if you’re wondering whether or not the FireFamily is embracing the new, thicker wipe AND switching to this scent, the answer is yes. Yes! YES! (Who gets this excited about cleaning products? Well, that would be me. Thanks for asking!)
