With the exception of that strange blip between 2020-2022ish, you probably haven’t given wipes much thought over the course of…your entire life. To be honest, no one around here had, either. Then we met Biom.
The brand has taken Team TQE by absolute storm, and their wipes–which range from All Purpose to Flushable and Hand Sanitizing–have quickly become some of the top five products we use, talk about, and think about every day. Seriously, this brand rocks.
And now, the family is growing with the addition of…drumroll, please…Disinfecting Wipes! Here’s why we’re freaking out in the very best way.

The Big Difference is What’s Not Inside
Most mass-market disinfecting wipes rely on quaternary ammonium compounds (aka “quats”) to kill germs. Quats are synthetic disinfectants that have been linked in peer-reviewed studies to respiratory issues, reproductive concerns, microbiome disruption, and skin irritation with prolonged exposure.
Biom’s Disinfecting Wipes, on the other hand, are powered by plant-based citric acid and made with water + 10 simple ingredients–no quats, no bleach, no ammonia, no parabens, no phthalates. Just a botanical formula designed for everyday use around people, pets, and food prep areas.* And before you even ask, yes they work. Incredibly well.
In fact, Biom Disinfecting Wipes kill 99.9% of germs*, including the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), in as little as 30 seconds. No harsh chemical fumes, sticky residue, or rinse required.**
One other differentiator worth noting? Most conventional disinfecting wipes are made with plastic fibers, which means they don’t actually disappear after you toss them (yes, this is part of the ‘microplastics’ conversation you keep hearing about). Biom’s are made of a plant-based wipe material instead.
It’s One of Those Brands
Here at TQE, we have a very short list of brands that feel extremely intuitive, necessary, and day-making–the ones that truly make you wonder how you ever lived without them. Biom is simply one of those.
The wipes come in an award-winning reusable, BPA-free dispenser that’s designed to be displayed on your counter or in your car’s cupholder (the mini is every mom’s dream on-the-go). And the wipes themselves smell incredible–citrus-y or mint-y, nothing harsh or bleach-y scented here.
They say you know you’re an adult when you start getting excited about basic necessities. Perhaps that’s the case here–or maybe we just finally found necessities that are actually worth getting excited about.
Try them for yourself (and prepare to be amazed) here.
