As I mentioned earlier, I started the afternoon of the first day of spring by cleaning the dust and mess off my desk. I’d like to say it took A WHILE, but truthfully? Only a couple of minutes. I removed most everything, cleaned and organized and put it back.
My tools: a stackable letter tray system, a penholder, a medium binder clip, and Clorox Disinfecting Wipes.
The letter trays hold important papers, spiral notebooks (I have 3 main ones I use All. The. Time.), and blank printer paper. The penholder obviously corrals a few pens, highlighters, and a pair of scissors. The binder clip holds together loose papers so they aren’t all over the place. I’ve been known to get a little obsessed with binder clips, shhhh, but as for now I’m only using one.
And the Clorox Disinfecting Wipes? They made cleaning the desk effortless. Seriously. And they have new, wide, decorative containers, so it isn’t such an eyesore if you want to leave it out. Mine is on my desk for a quick wipe up at the end of the evening – something I was a stickler for back in my 9-5 days & a habit I want to resurrect.
Clorox Disinfecting Wipes new Décor canisters:
* Come in eight unique color palettes to match any home décor
* Feature a sleek new shape and wider mouth
* Have a new effortless single sheet dispensing system
* Has the same disinfecting power of their namesake wipes
* Are fashionable enough to be left on the countertop
* Available at retailers nationwide
Don’t take my word for it though – try them for yourself. I have TEN up for grabs! Enter to win by leaving a comment telling me how’d you use them (get creative!).

I love Clorox wipes for those places in the car that always get so yucky - like the console cupholders and the buckles of the little ones’ carseats.

I would probably use them at work, home even in my car… i have a two year old… so i need to use them ..especially after her.
11 March 20th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I’d sit the pretty container on the back of the toilet. Either it’d give the impression that I clean a lot, or give the hint to the boys that they need to clean up after themselves..

I think I would use them to wipe everything down. We are getting over the stomach bug here and i could think of lots of uses.

These are so pretty. I’d be proud to have them sitting on my counter in the kitchen or on the back of the toilet . thanks

I’ve got younger boys, I’d clean with them in the bathroom! I’d also use them in my kitchen!
16 March 21st, 2009 at 11:34 am
I have 4 boys, so I definitely use them in the bathroom! I also like them for cleaning up toys from second hand stores or garage sales.
Thanks for the opportunity,

Spring means popsicles in my house. And popsicles undoubtedly melt and drip before they are completely eaten. So I will be using my fair share of Clorox Wipes to clean up sticky popsicle drips everywhere!

Probably not as creative as some but I would keep them in the laundry room which is the first place the dogs come to dry off after they come in from outside.

I would keep them by the fish tank to clean up fishy water. We have a huge fish and turtle who splash water out all the time. I hate coming home to find germy water on the stand and floor!

Sweet! I would use them to remove the cake batter fingerprints that are left on the fridge, doors and countertops by the kids. I could also use them to clean up coffee spills on the kitchen countertops, floors and throughout my car of which I am a daily repeat offender.

I have the original without the casings and I think it was great to put in my kitchen or just in my living room. It’s the easiest way to clean up! Now with the case, I can make it look good and fit in with my seasonal themes
