Dry Wipes Guide

In this guide we provide more information about the range of dry wipes on offer and how they can be used.

What Are Dry Wipes?
Dry wipes are cleansing products often used in healthcare environments like hospitals, nurseries, care homes and other places where it is important to maintain good hygienic standards.
As the name suggests, dry wipes are manufactured without any added cleaning solution – unlike wet wipes which come pre-saturated.
Different types of dry wipe have different properties, but they all tend to be strong, soft and absorbent. This means that they can be used for a range of different purposes including drying, wiping surfaces and more.

How To Use Dry Wipes?
Because they are not pre-saturated with cleaning solution, dry wipes are incredibly flexible, versatile tools for maintaining a hygienic, healthy environment.
In a dry state, they can be used for drying up wet messes. The absorbent fibre towels can also be used with different cleaning formulas to clean a variety of surfaces.

Disposable VS Reusable Dry Wipes
Strong evidence suggests that contaminated equipment and surfaces contribute to the transmission of pathogens, which can spread rapidly to vulnerable patients.
In the past, it was normal to see reusable cloths used on hospital wards and in other healthcare environments. These dry cloths would be laundered after each use, supposedly to remove contaminants and prevent infection.
But recent studies have shown that these reusable cloths can be ineffective and dangerous.
One study showed that rather than wiping away germs, these reusable cloths could actually be spreading them. Other studies have concluded that healthcare laundering practices are insufficient to get rid of contaminants and that cotton towels should not be used in healthcare environments because they reduce the effectiveness of disinfectant cleaning products.
If they are used correctly, disposable dry wipes are better at controlling infection, because they are thrown away after each use.

What Are Non Woven Healthcare Wipes?
Nonwoven wipes are wipes manufactured from fibres that have been bonded together mechanically, thermally or chemically rather than fibres that are woven together.
Woven or knitted cloths was the industry norm. These cloths were strong and absorbent, but the woven bonds created safe spaces for germs to lurk.
Nonwoven wipes have a number of advantages over woven wipes. As well as being economical, most nonwoven wipes are also highly absorbent, strong and low linting.
Nonwoven healthcare wipes provide the performance and feel of a textile flannel, with the hygiene benefits of high-performance disposable wipes.
