    I always buy the Fellowes wipes in PC World for €8.99 but I find I am always running through them. They are really small so I need a couple a go and a huge % of the tub is very dry for the price.

    Are there any household wipes like Dettol etc that can be used for wiping down laptops and phones. I'm a clean freak and I carry both items around with me a lot so I clean them every evening and it's beginning to become an expensive habit.

    You would probably get something like that in Tesco's/Dunnes/Dealz. They have various cleaning products for electrical goods. Some household wipes would use abrasives.

    I've looked in all those places and the only ones that I can find are these:

    Just not sure if they are safe to use on screens/keyboards.

    Touch screen or normal screen?

    You could just use a lint free cloth in conjunction with a very fine spray applicator. I got a flower sprayer in a garden center and fill it with a Dettol dilution. Spray a little onto the cloth and wipe. Have a dry cloth to use after.

    Both computer and phone are touch screens but I never use the touch screen on the laptop

    I normally just use lint free kitchen towel and a spay bit of dettol spray (clear bottle). I have never had any issue doing so.

    I don't use of those disinfectant wipes because they always leave a nasty sticky smear on everything.

    I use alcohol wipes because it evaporates really quickly and doesn't leave behind and residue that I can see. I got a box of cutisoft wipes from boots for cheap. They're the tiny little alcohol squares doctors use.
