Wet wipes are fast becoming a staple for cleaning hard non-porous surfaces in facilities across different industries.

Fitness centers use wet wipes to clean and sanitize their equipment after use
Businesses use wet wipes to maintain proper hygiene for office spaces, workstations and equipment
School systems invest in wet wipes to keep children healthy by protecting them from germs in the classroom
Hotels have stand-by wet wipes that send a brand message of cleanliness to their customers
Hospitals use wet wipes to protect patients by eliminating pathogens

According to research, on a general scale, wipes have become a globally accepted cleaning product, projected to grow by over 7.2% in the next few years. Spray bottles and towels used to be more popular for getting rid of germs on surfaces but have proven to be less effective, and today many people have embraced the idea of a wet wipe.

Why invest in wet wipes?

According to a recent interviews at different gyms, more than 80% of them confirm the following benefits:

The convenience of not having to purchase ...
... and store liquid chemicals.
Wipes use the proper dose of liquid chemical which reduces loss and waste.
Process efficiency – you can work faster and cover more area when you don’t have to carry around a bucket and towels.
Single use wet wipes are a safe choice because each wipe is disposed of after it is used to prevent cross-contamination.

Wipes are Convenient

Because wet wipes are readily accessible in easy-to-use dispensers, cleaning and disinfecting equipment surfaces is a breeze. Dispensers keep wipes moist and protected and are compact to be placed in high-traffic areas at gyms, malls and public spaces for self-serve use.

Wet Wipes are easy to use

Customers love the fact that wet wipes are easy to use. Grab your wipe. Wipe the target surface. Then toss away the wipe and the germs.

Wipes Save Time

You don’t have to spend more than a minute wiping surfaces and equipment – much faster than the prep work it takes to mix your cleaning agents.

Factors to Consider in Wet Wipe Selection

Purpose Of Use

Wet wipes are generally used for three processes: cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting. Cleaning eliminates dirt and removes surface grease. Sanitizing reduces germ activity. Disinfecting eliminates germs.

There are different kinds of disinfectant wipes out there - the type of disinfectant wipe you choose will depend on the size and durability of the wipe needed for the task, and the type of germs you need to kill. Thoroughly read the product label where you will find directions for use, efficacy claims, usage precautions and disposal instructions.

Types of Surfaces

You cannot use all wet wipes for every surface. Wet wipes can be saturated with a variety of chemicals. For example, our PRO-SERIES® brand wet wipes are not designed for use on electronics. A properly labeled alcohol-based wet wipe can be used on surfaces like TV screens, remote controls, and home theater exteriors. Using a fresh, clean, pre-saturated wet wipe allows you to avoid the extra step of putting alcohol on a cloth that could be contaminated with dirt or chemicals.

Proper Identification

Apart from wipes for electronics, one-step disinfectant wet wipes are usually made with quaternary ammonium, hydrogen peroxide, bleach, or a combination of these.

Wet wipes that are labeled as sanitizers or disinfectants for use on hard, non-porous surfaces must be EPA-registered. You can determine if a product is properly registered by reading the label, where you should find the text “EPA Reg. No.” followed by a unique number that is assigned to the saturated wipe.

PRO-SERIES Disinfectant Wipes (EPA Reg. No. 1839-190) have received updated approval for faster efficacy claims against COVID-19. The formulation is now EPA List-N approved to kill SARS-CoV-2 on hard non-porous surfaces in just 30 seconds!
