Wipes

It is increasingly recognised that environmental bacteria on surfaces and hands is one of the biggest causes of unnecessary infections. Keeping things clean and germ-free is more than just a matter of waiting for the janitorial services crew to come round. That's why we stock a large range of wipes suitable for cleaning and disinfecting tasks in a wide variety of applications. In medical settings such as hospitals, doctors' surgeries, and dentists' offices, it is vital to eliminate germs. Clinical wipes can be used for cleaning surfaces and equipment as well as other tasks, such as cleaning skin and wounds before treatment or as a convenient alternative to liquid sanitiser. In kitchens and catering environments, wipes are more hygienic and convenient than cloths and towels, making it easy to clean up food spills and kitchen grime quickly. Industrial wipes are designed for heavy-duty tasks like removing paint and grease from tools, while office cleaning wipes are essential for maintaining a germ-free workplace. Regular sanitisation of computer keyboards and telephones is important, as they can harbour as many germs as a toilet seat. Specialised wipes, such as anti-static ones, can also prevent dust build-up on screens and other office equipment. Wipes have evolved significantly since the days of basic baby wipes, which themselves have improved with the introduction of flushable options. Modern wipes are impregnated with disinfectant and antibacterial agents, enabling them to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi while removing visible dirt. Hand wipes are invaluable when washing facilities are not easily accessible, and alcohol-free options are available for sensitive skin or for cleaning wounds. Disinfectant wipes are ideal for hard surfaces in kitchens and come in specialised varieties for cleaning office equipment. Multi-purpose wipes offer flexibility, as they can be used on both hands and surfaces. Wipes are inherently more hygienic than reusable cloths, even when paired with disinfectant spray, and their convenience encourages frequent use. Antibacterial wipes are an essential addition to janitorial supplies, while ordinary wet wipes remain useful for small cleaning tasks.
