Since the coronavirus pandemic, I have been looking at cleaning supplies in a whole new light. Some lessons: great products do more than just smell good, and sanitizers are cheaper than emergency healthcare bills. That said, you've got to have the right stuff around to disinfect your personal space. Clorox Disinfecting Spray is essential.
I've used Lysol as a mildew remover for a long time. However, I was somehow able to score a carton of Clorox disinfecting wipes during the peak of COVID, and I've been a dedicated Clorox guy since. I can't always use the wipes on things I want to clean, but Clorox spray and a Magic Eraser combo are some of my go-to's.
Best Clorox Disinfecting Spray
Clorox Commercial Solutions offers a germicidal disinfectant cleaner, but those are some of the harshest chemicals around and primarily for medical settings. I'm sure they're much more powerful than my cleaning wipes, but I'll stick to these.
1. Clorox Disinfecting Spray Cans, 38 Fluid Ounce
I normally have a rule about no aerosol cans in the house, but this aerosol spray is one exception. Especially if you're looking for a disinfecting bathroom cleaner that can cover everything with a fresh citrus scent. Mist the doorknobs, the porcelain, your countertops, and then let it sit for a few minutes. Clorox takes around 5 minutes of resting time to really do its job.
The only place I don't like this spray is on the upholstery, but I know a lot of folks who do.
2. Clorox Clean-Up All Purpose Cleaner Disinfectant Spray Bottle with Bleach, Fresh Scent, 32 Fl Oz
If you want to skip the negative impact of aerosol cans without sacrificing defense from viral microorganisms, then go ahead with this sanitizer in full confidence. This multipurpose surface cleaner will kill bacteria wherever you need it, except for soft surfaces, such as blankets, pillows, carpets, or furniture.
Send viruses on the run with a variety of different smells like crisp linen and lavender. Or go unscented if you want that slight whiff of bleach supplies in your nose. There's a lot of ways to feel clean.
3. Clorox Anywhere Hard Surface Daily Sanitizing Spray 22 Ounce Spray Bottle - Pack of 9 (Package May Vary)
This multi-surface cleaning product is an everyday, bleach-free way to deodorize and lay down antibacterial attention to frequently-used nonporous surfaces. Think about the dashboard of your car, commonly touched door handles, or your phone case. Taken off of the phone, that is.
The formula is softer than the other two but doesn't lack high-powered antibacterial ingredients. It's like all the convenience of my favorite Clorox wipes with the antiseptic strength of other Clorox disinfecting sprays.
Stay clean out there. Keeping sanitized in today's world is no easy task. Products like Clorox Disinfecting Spray make it a bit better.
