Wipes and Cleaning Rags - What the Buyer Needs to Know

Households, offices, and market facilities use wipes and/or cleaning rags for just about every clean-up task imaginable. While the use of worn out linens and clothing is still a very tasteless custom to make rags, the availability of special purpose cleaning wipes has led to the use of wipes in a wide range of applications. This narrative answers the top ten questions asked by customers of one janitorial supply enterprise regarding wipes and cleaning rags.

1) What are wipes? The word "wipes" (wiper is the singular) refers to wiping towels designed for limited use prior to laundry or disposal. They are made from a paper, synthetic, or cloth material.

2) How do wipes differ from paper towels? Paper towels are the simplest form of wipes. Most wipes are designed for a special task by adding formulated ingredients to maximize performance.

3) What are examples of some tasks where wipes are used? Wipes are used to clean, disinfect, and sanitize just about anything. New and innovative formulations for wipes are continually being developed. See partial list below:

Cleaning market heavy duty tool to remove oil and metal shavings Applying thinners, solvents and lubricants to surfaces and parts Absorbing large liquid spills Removing heavy dirt/oil from face and hands Cleaning a baby's sensitive skin Disinfecting surfaces in home, collective restrooms, offices, restaurants, etc. Cleaning glass, stainless steel, or other special surfaces Wiping electronic hardware which requires very low lint

4) What makes wipes dissimilar from rags? The term "rag" regularly means a cloth towel that is laundered to allow repeated use. Rags are most often salvaged from worn clothing and linens. While facilely ready in households, most market facilities use rental shop towels which are artificial from old clothing.

5) Why use wipes versus rags? As mentioned previously, wipes are formulated for a specific task, and most rags are for general use. While the average car owner would find the use of a clean rag thorough to wipe off their car, a car enthusiast might worry about scratching the car's paint by using a rag.

6) Which are less expensive, wipes or rags? Although wipes commonly have a higher upfront cost, consumers purchase two times more wipes than cleaning rags. The best carrying out of wipes is often cited as the conjecture behind their decision.

7) What type of wipes should be purchased? Again, the write back depends on the applications. Most brands list the applications for which their products have been formulated. When purchasing wipes, the buyer must match the planned use with the recommended use on the product labeling.

8) What brand of wipes should be purchased? As stated previously, it is best to first match the application for which the wipes are to be used. Clorox® and Lysol® are the most popular brands for household disinfecting. The Wypall® and Brawdy® brands have much broader product offerings for applications fluctuating from general purpose to specialties like dusting, automotive windshields, food service, etc.

9) When should a wiper be thrown away? If the wiper is being used for cleaning and is not recommended for the laundry, dispose of it when it is heavily soiled leaving dirt behind. If the wiper is being used for disinfecting, it should probably be disposed of more frequently. Data exist suggesting that although the use of disinfecting wipes does reduce bacteria on surfaces, the possible exist to replacement bacteria to other surfaces on which the wiper is reused.

10)Which are more environmentally friendly, wipes or rags? The buyer must determine based on the following facts:

For light clean-up jobs requiring only water and elbow grease, rags may be the best choice since they come from recycled clothes and can be laundered. Note: Both wipes and rags, which are known to include hazardous materials, must be disposed in the same manner as all hazardous waste. Wipes are currently ready from recycled products, and many of the manufacturers are working toward greater use of renewable energy. In addition, biodegradable wipes are now entering the market. They are designed to be flushed through the sewerage systems to avoid ending up as waste in a dump. Microfiber wipes are the latest product entering the market. While they have a limited life, they discharge more dirt than thorough wipes and cleaning rags. Microfiber wipes can be laundered just like rags. Excessive amounts of chemicals are often used in conjunction with the rags to accomplish a given task. This is commonly not the case with wipes.
