I keep them around. The only thing I use them for is wiping down the outside of the toilet.

For countertops I spray vinegar or, if it is greasy, ammonia.

Instead of trying to disinfect every object just keep your hands away from your face and wash them properly.

I have several cell phone cases that are cheap & easily removable. I change it twice a week and wash throw it in the dishwasher.

People go through all this paranoid cleaning and don’t realize that the biggest source of germs in their life is the cell phone.

We use them because we have two cats who love to hang out on the kitchen table when we’re not around. Gotta keep those litter box paws on the floor where they belong. Daughter #1 is going to come home later this year and take them home with her. We love them to death, but they’ll be better off with her.

So, we use the wipes quite a bit.

My housekeeper uses an ammonia solution to scrub my kitchen floor and bathroom floors.

Sprays it on re-usable and washable scrub pads that fit on a velcro mop.

Ammonia is old school but it does the job.

As far mobile phones go, I don’t have one.

I find it makes life simpler.

...the biggest source of germs in their life is the cell phone...

The biggest disease spreaders are paper money, buffets, and fast food cooks.

I hate to inform you of this, but you’re paranoid!
