Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Undisclosed PFAS in surfactants or water repellents, Isopropyl alcohol inhalation risk, Preservative allergens and irritants and Package closure integrity and bacterial regrowth on the Lysol Disinfecting Wipes and not on the Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes.
  • We flag Quaternary ammonium (quat) skin irritation and Respiratory irritation from quat aerosol on the Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes and not on the Lysol Disinfecting Wipes.
  • The Lysol Disinfecting Wipes is nonwoven fabric wipes (likely polypropylene/polyester blend) where the Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes is nonwoven fabric (polypropylene/polyester blend), quaternary ammonium disinfectant, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Seventh Generation Disinfecting Wipes is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Lysol Disinfecting Wipes grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
