Disposable soft wipes are pre-moistened, non-woven cloths designed for a variety of cleaning tasks or personal hygiene uses. They are made from a blend of natural and synthetic fibers, creating a soft, yet durable material that is gentle enough for use on skin but robust enough to handle cleaning surfaces. These wipes are typically moistened with solutions that can include water, detergents, skin conditioners, and sometimes antiseptics or disinfectants, depending on their intended use.
Disposable soft wipes are ready to use, eliminating the need for additional cleaning agents or water. This makes them perfect for on-the-go situations, travel, or quick clean-ups at home.
Disposable wipes can help reduce the spread of germs since they are used once and then thrown away. This single-use nature ensures that bacteria or viruses are not transferred from one surface to another.
WILLCOME disinfectant wipes are capable of killing bacteria and viruses on hard surfaces, while personal hygiene wipes are gentle enough for sensitive skin.
The soft cotton tips are gentle on the skin and tissues, making them comfortable to use even on sensitive areas.
They are relatively inexpensive, making them a cost-effective tool for healthcare providers.
