See what Mumsnet testers thought of LiquidNano anti-bacterial and viral SteriWipes

[JustineBMumsnet]

This is the feedback thread for the Mumsnet users who have been testing LiquidNano’s SteriWipes, antibacterial wipes powered through nanotechnology leaving surfaces protected against 181 bacteria and viruses for 7 days from just one application.

Here’s what LiquidNano has to say: “LiquidNano is a smart coatings business with existing products for the mobile, marine, automotive and textile sectors. We are about to launch a new product called SteriWipe which is aimed at protecting high touch household surfaces like: door handles, children's toys, mobiles, tablets, high chairs, game controllers, etc. Once a surface is protected with SteriWipe an invisible layer of LiquidNano is left on the surface which not only kills any existing pathogens but will continue to kill any new pathogens that come into contact with the surface for a further 7 days without the need to re apply.”

You can find out more about SteriWipes here.

[ImperfectAlf]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

I used them on door handles, phones, tablets, top of the loo cistern and seat, kitchen surfaces, light switches and window sills. They were most useful for handles, switches and areas I don't usually clean every day

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?

I really liked them. That were strong when using, in that they didn't fall apart and easy to use. However, they were too small. I would prefer a bigger wipe.

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?

I'm not sure I would use ONLY these for peace of mind, but they were useful

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?

Depends on price point and whether they make a larger version.

[undercoverhero74]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

I used the wipes on our electronic devices, handheld items and the baby's high chair tray.
Due to their size I found them most useful for small handheld devices such as phones and tv remotes.

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?

They are good for wiping things down. Obviously I have no idea if they really keep things sterile for 7 days however it's nice to believe that they do.
I was a bit disappointed in the size. I was expecting them to be the same size as regular antibacterial wipes.

1. How did you feel about using

SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?

Yes they did. I felt like I didn't worry about putting my phone to my face as much once I had wiped it down.

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?

Yes I would. They are individually sealed so really handy to put in your pocket or handbag. Considering the current climate I am even more likely to buy these for the extra peace of mind they bring.

[DownRightAmazing]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

*I used them for mobile phones, door handles, car steering wheel, bike handles. Areas which I often touch without having a chance to wash my hands first.

I found them most useful for my daughters hearing aids, which (because of her age) get touched by multiple people - me, her, school staff. visiting therapists.*

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?

I liked them very much. The individual packaging is great and the small size works well - it reminds us that they are 'special' wipes to be used sparingly.

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?

I was happy to be using them, they seem like a fantastic concept. I was slightly concerned that I don't really, really know if they are as effective as they say they are and so might over a false sense of security

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?

I would both buy and recommend (price dependant)

[TreacleHart]

Thank you for having opportunity to test.

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

We wiped door knobs , light switches , pull cord knobs. Taps and appliances.

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?

They are such a good idea, I did think they were a little small .

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?

They did give piece of mind and having it last 7 days is a bonus.

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?

Yes to both.

[MyBestFriendKenny]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

I found them most useful on electronics, they were convenient to wipe down our mobile phones, the games console controllers, tablets and Nintendo Switch.

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?

They were very good. Strong, durable and wiped things down really well. I'm reluctant to use disposable wipes because of the environmental implications, but these do work so well on devices that can be tricky to clean usually.

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?

It did encourage peace of mind. My children are used to washing their hands but devices which get used a lot, especially phones which are used outside of the house, feel riskier. Having a really easy way to keep them clean is goood.

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?

Despite my feelings about the environmental implications I think I would buy these again. They are the easiest way I've found of cleaning our phones, which is something that has had so much attention during the pandemic, going back to a trickier method is unattractive.

[Needingsupportplease]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

Door handles, toilet handles and lids, bin lids, door handles, light switches, car door handles, gearstick and steering wheel, phones and pens.

I will definitely be using them in the future as I have to have workmen coming into my house in the next few weeks, and have a child in school. I will recommend them to others, especially if they have children in school and for the Christmas period.

[SoVeryLost]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?
We used it for kitchen surfaces and handles throughout and taps. So high touch points throughout the home.

[hauntedvagina]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

I used the wipes on phones and door handles. It wasn't clear on the pack if they were suitable for use on surfaces that came into contact with food so I didn't use them on the highchair or any toys.

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?

Quite small and fiddly to use with gloves on. Found that my smartphone was harder to use as the screen seemed to have a film on it.

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?

A little.

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?

Probably not.

3. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?**

1. Light switches, phones, door handles, remote controls.
2. I thought they could do with being a bit bigger, but re-reading the instructions on the back, it is unclear whether you can use on multiple items or whether it should be one per item.

3.It did make me feel safer in the knowledge, that surfaces were protected.

1. Depending upon the price point I would be inclined to buy them again.

[elizaco]

• Phones, door handles, computer keyboards
• Very small, so quite restrictive what they were useful for
• Useful in the present climate
• Probably not

[Hermie12]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? mobile phone, door handles, top of bin.

Which did you find the wipes most useful for? It was fine for all of the above

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes? I like the idea assuming the claims are accurate but the wipes themselves were tiny, making them hard to use and you would need many of them if you were to make proper use of them. I also would question the environmental impact of all these and all individually wrapped.
2. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind? I felt that if they were effective it would make me feel more relaxed around the home
3. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others? I'm really not sure. for the reasons above really.

[Poopoopoo]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?
   

We used them on iPad, iPhones, controllers, phone, handles

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes? Easy to use, maybe as bit small.
   
2. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?
   

Yes, they were a tool in the fight against picking up infection! We were pleased to use them and it does help to know that devices are less likely to be contaminated.

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to
   

others?
Yes, if more people use them we will all be a bit safer.

[Doubtfuldaphne]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?
   

I used them on door handles, phone and tablet screens, light switches and surfaces

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?
   

I was surprised how small they were but when I read that one wipe could sterilise up to a metre I was impressed. I really like the technology they use to keep things sterile as it’s an added piece of reassurance

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?
   

I definitely had more peace of mind using them and I’ve recommended everyone I know should get some for their phone screens especially. I actually also put some in my DH’s car for him to go over the steering wheel, handles, switches etc which gave me peace of mind because I know he doesn’t always remember to use hand gel!
I feel happy using the wipes and will continue to use them

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?
   

Yes I would buy these as they’re an excellent option to keep things cleaner for longer
I have already recommended them to others! I will also continue to use them at work where I clean air bnb homes

[BristolMum96]

Testers, please give your feedback by answering the following questions, as well as completing the short survey we’ve sent you.

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

I used in my kitchen and on my gadgets/technology
I found them useful for both

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?

I feel like they relieved my mind slightly but not completely as I don't think they are a replacement for thorough and frequent cleaning

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?

They were a good extra but I prefer to regularly decontaminate items instead

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?

Probably wouldn't buy, might recommend to others to try though

[torthecatlady]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

Door handles, taps, flush on toilet, light switches, remote controls, game console controllers, mobile phones, fridge (edge of door), Car (steering wheel, gear stick, handbrake, keys). I thought it was particularly good for on the flush on the toilet.

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?

Tiny... I expected them to be bigger, however they are actually big enough to do the job. I'm impressed with the fact that they protect surfaces for up to 7 days, although I don't fully understand the science behind it!

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?

They did give me more peace of mind than using a regular antibacterial wipe or cleaning solution. I wish they came in a larger size for larger surfaces.

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?

I looked up the price of these wipes online and I was shocked at how much they cost. If they were available at a lower price, I may purchase them again. Price is the main factor which would influence whether or not I would buy in the future.

[ItsJustASimpleLine]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?

High contact areas in the house, door handles light switches and taps.

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?

I was initially surprised by their size, smaller then expected but they were actually ideal for using and keeping to hand.

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?

I felt they gave a good clean and I did feel more reassured knowing I'd used the wipes but obviously you can't see it working.

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?

I would definitely buy again. They were very handy for round the house and I did feel more relaxed knowing I'd cleaned over areas with them.

[Byrdie]

1. Which items or surfaces did you use LiquidNano’s SteriWipes on? Which did you find the wipes most useful for?
   

All our phones, door handles and keyboard

1. What were your overall thoughts on the wipes?
   

A bit wet - but like the idea/concept

1. How did you feel about using SteriWipes? Did using them encourage peace of mind?
   

It did give me a bit of piece of mind - especially with my phone

1. Would you buy the wipes in future, or recommend them to others?
   

Possibly. Not sure, i think it comes down to what happens with the virus in all honesty
