Advantages: leaves your furniture smelling nice, compatible with most surfaces, better than the spray

Disadvantages: can't be used on (some) bathroom facilities

We've been using these wipes in my house for as long as I can remember. Mr Sheen Furniture wipes are for house cleaning only can be used on things such as T.V screens, wooden furniture, glass, tiles etc. The wipes do have a polish formula in them which lives your furniture shining after the wipe usage. They are also fragranced to give a refreshing smell on your furniture.
I am sure most of you are familiar with Reckit Benckiser, a company who specializes in household cleaning products. Most of our household cleaning products are from them and yes, you can never go wrong with their products, they are very reliable.


==Price and Place==

We normally buy the wipes in Tesco and Sainsburys and a pack of 24 wipes nowadays cost around £2. Of course you would probably find them at prices like £1.99 or £1.97 which is just about £2.
You can also buy the wipes from other supermarkets like Asda or Morrisons etc though the price do vary e.g. in one shop you might find them on special offer possibly being sold at half price or buy 2 get one free etc.
The wipes are worth every penny but wouldn't buy them if they were priced over £3.


==How to use==

Using the wipes is very easy all you have to do is open the package and take a wipe. All you have to do is wipe the dirty surface using the wipe and chuck it in the bin afterwards. You have to re-seal the package again after to avoid the wipes from drying up. Moreover, if the surface is not dirty you might still want to use the wipe as it will leave the surface smelling nice and refreshed.
The wipes are quiet thick, long (over 20cm long) and they won't rip easily, so don't hesitate wiping fast or hard if you have to.
Whilst using the wipes avoid them touching your eyes or cuts on your body as they will sting.


==Me and the Product==

Like I said in my other reviews, I am the sort of person who always tries to avoid house work, but there are times when it just doesn't work out and I end up cleaning the house. Mr Sheen wipes have always played a big role in my cleaning as they clean everything from plastic to TV screens.
When cleaning the my glass table I never have to struggle wiping the finger prints off, they come off quickly and leave the glass table shiny with a fresh smell coming from it.
The furniture does look very shiny after the wipe usage and dust stays away from the furniture for quiet sometime, which is always pleasing as it means less house work for me.

Wiping the dust away from my T.V and other furniture in my house is made easy by these wipes. They stay moist for a long time which is fantastic.
The wipes they do last long indeed. We use the wipes once in two days mainly to clean our glass table but when cleaning the furniture we use it bout once a week really. One wipe usually cleans a lot of things before drying up.
However because I have a big dining and lounge room I always use two wipes when doing a thorough cleaning in my house. If you have a medium or small lounge or dining room you would probably only use one wipe.

A disadvantage about these wipes is that they can't be used in bathroom facilities as they have high gloss. If you are interested in wipes that can be used on bathroom facilities have a look on my 'Dettol 4in1' review.
You also can't use the wipes on waxed wooden surfaces.
After using the wipes, my hands don't always feel normal, therefore I always have to wash them and apply hand lotion.
Moreover, when I try to smell the wipes close to my nose they do have a choking smell but smells nice when wiped onto a surface (hhmm).
Overall I and the product do get along, the wipes are amazing and they do exactly what they say on the package.


==Recommendation==

I would definitely recommend these wipes to those who like their house to look clean and refreshed. I must say that sometimes we do buy the Mr Sheen Furniture spray rather than the wipes.
However, I would say that the wipes are better as you don't have to spend time spraying on every spot that you want wiped and with the wipes there is no need of looking for a cloths to wipe the furniture with, as you would definitely need one when using the spray.
The Mr Sheen spray liquid can be runny on the surface which can be a bad thing when spraying it on T.V or furniture with holes as it could damage them.
The wipes are fantastic and they save you loads of time. They do last long if you use them accurately and appropriately. I don't really have anything major to complain about the wipes.


==Note==

---The wipes do come in other fragrance such as citric, spring fresh or orange.

---You can also buy the wipes in a pack of 40 rather than 24. However, the pack of 40 is rather expensive.

---You can also buy the wipes for certain furniture e.g. Mr sheen wipes for metal, wood, leather etc.

---The wipes come in a flow wrap, which you have to seal after every usage to avoid the wipes from drying up.

---Of course if you are not sure about the surface just try to wipe a corner and see if it works (always works for me).

---If you wipe a food surface you might have to rinse the surface afterward.

Summary: wipes for cleaning your furniture including glass, wood, plastic etc.
