I’m sure 20 years ago I’d never dream of getting excited over a new line of disinfecting wipes, but times have changed. I also have a mortgage now and carpool with another mom to school.

Savvy Housewife received a sample of Clorox’s newest line of cleaning wipes to test out as part of Mom Central’s Clorox Disinfecting Wipes tour. The new wipes are thicker and have a textured surface, which makes cleaning up, especially in the kitchen, much easier. I’m a big fan of Clorox Disinecting Wipes already, having dealt with a nasty case of flu in February and wiped down every inanimate object in our house.

Some highlights of the new and improved Clorox Disinfecting Wipes (from the Clorox website):

• Better cleaning in a thicker, textured wipe
• Low-streak formula for use on shiny surfaces like glass and mirrors
• Effective against common bacteria such as Staphylococcus (Staph.), Salmonella, and E.coli*
• Pre-moistened disinfecting wipes that kill 99.9% of germs including viruses that cause colds and flu (Rhinovirus and Influenza A2)*
