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, cleaning patients 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 and drying patients. The absorbent fibre towels can also be used with different cleaning formulas to clean a variety of surfaces and patients.

To prevent cross-contamination between patients and surfaces, dry wipes should be disposed of after cleaning one area or patient.

WHAT ARE NONWOVEN 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.
