We at Infection Protection Products believe everyone has the right to basic hygiene. Locally manufacturing hygiene products including disinfectant wipes and sanitisers for over 30 years. We pioneered the Sani-touch Saniwipe trolley wipe into retailer stores over 17 years ago to protect people in public places.

Prior to Covid, this offering was largely taken for granted and most consumers did not really worry to take a wipe to clean their trolley handle. Being strong South Africans most of us believed that a certain amount of bug exposure was good for us and would build our immune systems.

Being a family business, all variants being trialed and tested wipes would find themselves in the homes of family and friends who enviably would use the wipes around a braai or when camping or visiting our beloved Kruger Park. So, we decided in late 2019 that we needed a specific Braai Lappie. It had to be big enough to clean hands and tongs, strong enough to get rib juice off one’s face, and it had to be biodegradable to be able to be thrown into the fire after use. 

So, we tried a few options with long suffering friends and family and planned to launch our Braai Lappies in April 2020 in time for Easter, Sea, Sand, Sun, and visits to the Kruger park. 

Then along came Covid! …. And the Braai Lappie were put aside while we worked day and night to supply Saniwipes to retail stores and Mediwipes to medical facilities. 

For more than two years the world battled with covid, lock down and the sadness of losing loved ones and caring for those who got ill.  Socializing was not happening, and we were all hankering after a good old Braai with mates. 

So we decided to release the Braai Lappie into the market in 2021 to cheer us all up a little, we are now all so used to cleaning and sanitising – so why not just continue at home around a Braai. 

We were thrilled when Vaatjie one of SA’s best loved Braai masters, tried them and loved our Braai Lappies so much that they are now permanent feature on kykNET’s  Toks & Tjops every Friday night. 

We all LOVE the Braai Lappies and once you have used them around a Braai you simply won’t be able to braai without them. 

Braai Lappies are now available at all Outdoor Warehouse stores nationwide, as well as other select retail outlets. They are also available on our online store. They make a great gift for any Braai mad South African.
