Are Aloe & Green Tea All-Purpose Wipes worth the price?

Watkins Aloe & Green Tea All-Purpose Wipes
|
I love the new Aloe & Green Tea All-Purpose Wipes...except for the price. But more about that in a moment.
I usually use wet paper towels to wipe off the kitchen counters and bathroom surfaces, so using these scented wet wipes from Watkins was just a fancier method to my madness. The fact that Aloe & Green Tea is my favorite Watkins scent (they have several Aloe & Green Tea scented products) made me even more predisposed to like these wipes for my cleaning.
Even so, I wondered just how much better they were in comparison to my trusty wet paper towels. So I did a little cleaning test comparing paper towels & water, paper towels & Watkins Lemon All-Purpose Cleaner, and these wipes to determine which had the most cleaning power. My cleaning target was dirty fingerprints on a white painted doorframe.
I first tried the paper towels dipped in water. I was able to wipe off the fingerprints, but it left a slightly gray smudge. I then tried an Aloe & Green Tea All-Purpose Wipe, and to my surprise, it performed far better than the water alone. Not only did it wipe off the fingerprints, it didn't leave a gray smudge behind.
However, the paper towel sprayed with Watkins Lemon All-Purpose Cleaner cleaned even better than the Wipes (read my previous review of Lemon All-Purpose Cleaner here.)
Now for the price. It's $6.99 for only 35 wipes, making each one 20¢. (And that's without taking into account taxes & shipping.) They're biodegradable, flushable, safe for septic tanks, smell great, clean well, and are certainly convenient. However, I think the price is much too high for such convenience. My suggestion: use the Aloe & Green Tea All-Purpose Cleaner (or Concentrate) with paper towels. You get the same scent and cleaning experience for far less cost.
