A growing body of research suggests that disposable wipes are a safer and more effective method of infection control than reusable cleaning cloths.
While disinfectants can simply be sprayed on environmental surfaces to kill or inactivate pathogenic microorganisms, wiping surfaces is an essential part of the cleaning process and an effective way to control contamination on hard surfaces.
The presence of soil particles can reduce the efficacy of disinfectants, and removal of these particles is critical. Wet wipes significantly enhanced particle retention and removal compared to dry wipe methods.
