Our hand wipes are disposable, single-use wipes pre-soaked in a solution that contains a disinfecting ingredient such as quaternary ammonium, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hypochlorite.

Whether or not disinfecting wipes are ultimately more effective than using a disinfectant spray and paper towel is not clear yet. The big distinction here is that disinfectant wipes and sprays are intended for use on hard surfaces, such as counters and doorknobs, only, and not on the skin or food. You should never ingest disinfectants, no matter what some people say, or use them on your groceries. Rinse areas very thoroughly before you start preparing a meal.

By the way: Disinfectant wipes are different than those considered all-purpose cleaning wipes.
If wipes are called 'disinfectant', they must be able to kill viruses and bacteria. But does that include the coronavirus? The answer is still not clear, though it's looking likely according to the EPA.

But what makes all the difference when using the wipes? Contact time! Meaning how long the surface you're wiping down needs to remain wet to be effective. A quick swipe across the surface is considered cleaning, not disinfecting. It would just not be enough. You need at least 4 minutes according to the EPA. So, the surface needs to stay wet for much longer than a few seconds to have the disinfecting result. That means,you're going to have to wipe the counter, then may even need to use another cloth if you notice the area is starting to dry out before those four minutes are up.Look for our quantity and bundle offers of hand wipes and disinfectants to save and cover your professional and family needs.
