   You absolutely need these if you are dealing with CDiff
   Let’s cut right to the chase – nothing kills C Diff except for prolonged exposure to bleach. Alcohol, Lysol, acid, heat, etc – they are all laughed at by this hated bacteria. Obviously scrubbing your hands with soap and water like you’re about to do surgery is crucial after you use the bathroom and before you eat or drink anything, but in terms of killing any of the CDiff spores on surfaces, it has to be bleach and it’s supposed to sit wet for roughly 4 minutes.No, regular Clorox wipes do not contain bleach and do not kill C Diff spores.No, your Purell will not do the job.These are part of a line from Clorox that is their Healthcare Germicidal brand. I was able to purchase Clorox Germicidal bleach from a hardware store, but couldn’t find the wipes anywhere so I checked Amazon and lo and behold they’re here. I used the bleach mixed 1PartBleach:9PartsWater in spray bottles for floors, bathrooms, counters, but it’s messy and there’s no way I was going to start spraying doorknobs and light switches and anything over/near carpet – anything where overspray was going to ruin my day. That’s where these wipes come in SO handy.Obviously wear gloves when you use them – you don’t want to be saturating your hands in bleach. And don’t use them on fabric or yourself or anything else that doesn’t line up in the Common Sense sphere. These are for hard surfaces. Toilets, handles, light switches, door knobs/locks, keys – I used them on all of the condiments in the kitchen and after 5 minutes rinsed all of the bottles off. I wiped ANY hard surface that could be found in the house – fridge handles, buttons on appliances, I used them on my iphone which has a stick-on hard cover and an Otterbox case, I wiped down appliances big and small (most of mine are stainless steel but I didn’t care. Honestly if you’re reading this thinking “Geez this person is crazy” then you’ve never had C Diff or dealt with caring for someone who has. It really is THAT hateful, contagious, deadly and hard to get rid of.)On a personal note, I highly recommend having these around not just for using on items where messy overspray would be problematic, but also when you’re first dealing with CDiff you are EXHAUSTED and although these cost more than making your own spray bottles of bleach solution, you aren’t faced with waiting 5 minutes of soaked areas and then mopping up and mopping with plain water, all the while running back and forth to the bathroom crying and wondering why you were smited down with this illness, and terrified that you are going to sicken someone in your house. These wipes are WAY easier, and you just wipe down and then walk away (to the bathroom for the 20th time of the day) and let it air dry. If it’s an area where food is, then yes come back and wipe with a wet cloth at some later point, but that was really just the kitchen counters and such.I personally used these wipes when I got sick with CDiff and my family escaped unscathed.This particular size in the canister is great for using at home. I will say that I wasn’t a fan of using the flip top lid where you pull the sheet through the little plastic hole. I would just pop the whole top off and take a sheet that way – I felt that they stayed wetter and thus took longer to dry on surfaces (you want it to stay wet for roughly 4 minutes to kill all of the CDiff spores).

   Good product. Shotty shipping packaging
   We have these at work and I wanted them for home because they are so amazing. I love the product itself but it leaked in the packaging. It has a seal that is suppose to prevent leakage but it didn’t. I just rinsed the whole thing off in the tub and keep them in a zip lock.

   Don’t even bother with anything else!!!
   I currently have a very stubborn C. Diff infection. I was really scared about my house getting contaminated. I tried using the general Clorox Clean Up Cleaner with Bleach, but after just doing the bathroom counters + toilet, I was dying. The bleach was so strong. I have asthma, so we had fans going, all the windows open. It took hours to go away in our apartment.Let me tell you. I just got these wipes, and I used them to clean my whole bathroom at once, even the floors. They are a GODSEND. They have the same 1:10 ratio required to kill C. Diff and they’re EPA registered to do so. The wipes are strong, large, and fully saturated, so a simple wipe down is more than sufficient to get the surface wet and it to remain so for the required 4 minutes. Pair these with gloves and you are all set! The smell is literally almost non-existant for me.. it’s barely 10% of what the spray was. That alone makes them worth it. If you have something like C. Diff, or a family member does, PLEASE get these. You won’t regret it. Having this bacteria is bad enough, but this product makes the cleaning easier at least, cause the spores can survive for months on surfaces.

   WHAT a FIND!!!!
   I have relatives who have had many bouts of Clostridium Difficile (c. diff) over the years. I have taught Universal Precautions in the Rehabilitation field and so know the importance of proper hygiene and cleaning/disposal of items in contact with bodily fluids. Originally, I saw an Internet add for this product. I was highly disappointed when I was unable to purchase it directly from the product website because I am not affiliated with a hospital (no doubt because of liability issues, or ability of hospitals to buy in larger quantities).Then I looked on Amazon. Thank Goodness. Here, I can purchase the product with no problem. Thanks for making it available. It has made my family’s life much easier.NOTE to potential buyers: PLEASE understand that you must do what your healthcare team wishes you to do to take care of c. diff. at home. My relatives were released to home with this potentially life-threatening illness because licensed, certified, and bonded medical professionals were caring for the individuals. This product does KILL c. diff., but only when used properly. If you are not sure how to use this, or are nervous, please ask your healthcare team BEFORE purchasing this product. (I know I might sound like a rep for Amazon or for the product, but I just wanted to throw in my humble opinion, however obvious it may seem to some readers).

   Only thing that killed the continual sick germs in my house
   Super expensive and couldn’t find anywhere else in store. Came a bit busted and leaky but amazon did resolve the issue. My whole household was sick and throwing up and bleach was the only thing to kill this germ…these wipes were so convenient in the middle of the night to clean up.
