Since I've made a habit of confessing my vices to the world through VTT, I may as well fill you in on another one, gentle reader. I am naturally a very messy girl. I really am. I was never one to be dirtydirty per se, but certainly disorganized! It has only been through living with a very tidy roomie or two that I have learned to keep my apartment in a presentable state. And so I will take whatever shortcuts I can find to fulfil my quest for order on the home front.
Keeping that in mind, I have come to love cleaning wipes. With a quick pull and a swipe, pretty much any surface can go from dusty/cat-hairy to neat and fresh. But you have to be careful with your cleaning products, kids. Sometimes bits of animals are hiding in there, not to mention all kinds of other things that aren't so nice for Mother Earth.
So of course Method's Pink Grapefruit All-Surface Wipes seemed like a perfect addition to my quasi-lazy cleaning routine. All of Method's products are vegan (wow!), are not tested on animals, and are earth-friendly. I have purchased some other products from them (including a truly amazing orange/mango spray cleaner, which I will review some other day) and was very pleased. I like grapefruits. I like supporting small companies with a cause. And I like a good price (I paid $4-something Canadian for a canister of 30 wipes at Shopper's Drug Mart. The Method website lists them at $4 US).
The wipes came home with me, and the time came to test them out. Sadly, very sadly, they smelled really gross. They smelled like someone ate a grapefruit and promptly barfed it up on a moist towelette. And they didn't have a whole lot of cleaning power... It was more like smearing power. I still kept the whole canister and used up all of the wipes, but every time I cleaned with them, all I could smell was barf (I know that's unpleasant but I gots to be honest).
Sooo I definitely have not purchased them again since, but I have kept an open mind about all of Method's other offerings and urge you to do the same. Let's buy a buttload of everything else they make, and hopefully over time pukefruit will be forced out of the product line!
