Which Wet Wipe, Wipes Best?

The fluid and the cloth combination makes all the difference. We engineer fit-for-purpose wet wipes.

There are four main factors to take into consideration when purchasing fit for-purpose wet wipes! If cost wasn’t an issue, you could probably have every other attribute – or could you?

Sustainability depends on two things: biodegradability or recyclability.

Then there’s function which is all important at the end of the day and lastly efficacy, which if you’re in the medical or catering industry is the pillar on which you base your entire choice.

Then there’s substrate and fluid compatibility. Not as simple as it all sounds!

Sani-touch is the expert in engineering wet wipes that have the right balance to suit the exact product and market need.

4 Key Factors to consider:

Sustainability

Biodegradability or recyclability.

Functionality

Wipe Down

Wipe-DOWN cloths and wipes, don’t absorb fluid – the fluid sits on the outside of the cloth or wipe fibres, resulting in more fluid being “dumped” or deposited on to a surface. The physical wiping action results in dirt and microorganisms to be picked up by the wipe.

>

Wipe Up

Wipe UP cloths and wipes, are absorbent fabrics that hold the fluid in the wipe or cloth fibres, allowing for superior cleaning and disinfecting, maximising dirt and microorganism pick up and trapping whilst cleaning and disinfecting.

For Public places such as in the front of a retail store.
