SUMMARY: Disinfecting wipes are popular for quick cleaning but may pose risks for young children due to their toxic ingredients, particularly quaternary ammonia compounds (quats). These compounds can cause lung irritation and allergies, making it important to handle wipes carefully and keep them out of children’s reach. While disinfectants are safe when used properly, everyday cleaning can often be effectively done with soap and water. For safer alternatives, the EPA lists suitable cleaning products. In cases where disinfecting is necessary, ensure surfaces dry completely and keep kids away during this time. Parents should check if schools store disinfecting wipes safely.
