Preferred Wipes

We had an Open House at school yesterday. I went in early to clean up my room and do some paperwork. I didn’t have to go in today! Woo hoo!

As I was cleaning my desks off with disinfecting wipes, I was noticing that they weren’t as effective as usual. When I looked at the container, I saw that I had opened a package of Clorox wipes instead of Lysol wipes. I have been using Lysol for years now. I thought it was just a habit or just brand loyalty, but now I think that maybe I actually tried a few brands and settled on Lysol deliberately because they work better.

I usually buy my own wipes, but this year, some letter home asked the kids to bring wipes in. I have a ton of them in my storage closet, but very few of them are Lysol. I think I’ll be going to the store. But what will I do with the other wipes?

I did find one thing of Lysol, but it looks different from what I usually buy.

    Maybe do a trade with another teacher? Maybe return the unopened ones to a store to exchange? Maybe throw them in the ocean?

    Here, let me make more annoying suggestions: Rubbing alcohol is what gets ink off of desks. At school I put a squirt of hand sanitizer (mostly rubbing alcohol) on the marks and rub with a damp washcloth and they’re gone. If you had a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol you’d be golden.

      And then it would always smell like the doctor’s office! You could call yourself Dr. Royuk and threaten them with shots and scoliosis screenings!

    J-10 is plum outta any kinda’ wipes after pre-Open House cleaning – I’ll take a can of rejected wipes please…

    [“Scoliosis screenings” reminds me of the trick Tom W played on a gym-full of kids before showing a Veggie Tales movie one year. Good times…]
