Frequently asked questions

What are medical surface wipes?
Medical surface wipes are pre-moistened cleaning cloths formulated to safely and effectively disinfect and clean surfaces in clinical and healthcare settings. They remove dirt, germs and bacteria from worktops, treatment trolleys, medical equipment and other contact surfaces. These wipes help maintain a hygienic environment to reduce the risk of infection for staff and patients.
Where should medical surface wipes be used?
Medical surface wipes should be used on any hard surface where hygiene is important. Common areas include treatment rooms, clinical desks, waiting areas, examination couches, bed rails and other high-touch points within healthcare facilities. They are also useful for cleaning equipment between patients. Use wipes regularly throughout the day to support infection control best practice.
What makes medical surface wipes different from regular wipes?
Unlike ordinary cleaning wipes, medical surface wipes are specifically formulated to meet healthcare hygiene standards. They contain disinfectant agents proven to kill a wide range of bacteria and viruses. Regular wipes may clean visible dirt, but they do not reliably disinfect. Medical surface wipes are tested to ensure they are effective in clinical environments where infection prevention is a priority.
How do you use medical surface wipes correctly?
To use medical surface wipes effectively, remove a wipe from the pack and thoroughly wipe the surface until visibly clean. Make sure the entire area stays wet for the recommended contact time stated by the manufacturer. Allow the surface to air dry. Do not reuse wipes between different surfaces. Proper use ensures the disinfectant can work as intended to reduce harmful microbes.
Are medical surface wipes safe to use on all surfaces?
Most medical surface wipes are safe on a wide range of non-porous surfaces, but always check the product instructions first. Avoid using on skin, or on delicate materials that may be damaged by disinfectants. For specialised equipment or surfaces with specific care instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s guidance. When in doubt, test a small area before full use.
How should medical surface wipes be stored?
Store medical surface wipes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Make sure the container is sealed between uses to prevent the wipes from drying out. Keep out of reach of children and follow any additional storage instructions on the packaging. Proper storage ensures the wipes remain effective and ready for use whenever needed.
