Reducing confusion and offering you more in-depth insights into our cleanroom wipe options, we thought that it was critical take a look at wipes and what they have to offer.

What is a wipe used for?

Let's first consider what a wipe is used for. As a low lint cloth, wipes are often used in a cleanroom (or controlled environment) to wipe down a surface, removing contamination or spills. Depending on what wipe you select, its design will change its absorbency, cleanliness, and resistance to specific chemicals. Because every environment requires different sterilization factors, is critical that you understand what wipe will work best for your situation.

Wipe advantages

Generally speaking, though, different wipes are designed for more specific purposes, all wipes should be durable and not tear during use. Low in particles and non-abrasive, you will find that when you use our cleanroom wipes, your surface will disinfect, reduce endotoxin levels and ensure sterilization. Available in a variety of textures, there is a perfect wipe for every cleanroom. But the texture is not the only thing to consider when you are choosing the right wipe. You may also want to consider if you need a dry or wet wipe, and what the differences may be.

Wet wipe versus dry wipe

While some may prefer dry wipes for contamination cleanup, wet wipes may further enhance the wipes ability to trap harmful particles, allowing for a stronger bond to specific elements. While dry wipes do retain particles, the wipe you are using must be stronger than the particles on the surface for it to be effective. Only effective when they come into contact with contamination and spills, both dry and wet wipes are the easiest method of cleaning, ensuring easy removal of harmful particles while reducing the environmental impact when compared to other methods of cleaning.
