Windex Electronics Wipes
Skip until transparency improves, no public PFAS disclosure on a product likely treated for liquid repellency.
Windex Electronics Wipes are microfiber cloths designed to repel liquids and streaks from screens and electronics. The brand provides no public disclosure of PFAS use or absence, and the liquid-repellent finish suggests potential water-repellent coating treatment, a common PFAS application in wipes.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
