Disinfecting Wipes for Office & Facility Cleaning

Disinfecting wipes play an important role in maintaining a healthy workplace. When used correctly, they disinfect hard surfaces and help reduce the spread of germs and viruses. Many wipes combine cleaning and disinfecting agents, allowing for efficient one-step use. These wipes are not intended for hands. For personal hygiene, hand sanitizer or alcohol-based hand sanitizing wipes should be used instead. Disinfecting wipes come in a variety of formulations and packaging options, each designed for specific environments and pathogens. Always follow product instructions and safety guidelines. To be effective, disinfectants must remain wet on surfaces for a specified dwell time. This time varies by product and targeted pathogen, so surfaces should be allowed to air dry and not wiped off too soon.

AMMONIUM CHLORIDE (QUATS)

Ammonium chloride is a Quaternary Ammonium Compound (QAC), often referred to as a quat. The majority of hard surface disinfectants use this chemical. Quats offer good stability and toxicology, surface activity and compatibility with cleaner ingredients, and lack odor. These properties make them well suited for consumer products that combine cleaning with disinfection. Typical end-use concentrations will have from 0.05 to 0.2% QAC’s, and require from 1 to 10 minutes to achieve disinfection. The majority of Clorox and Lysol canisters are based on quats.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

Hydrogen peroxide is a non-corrosive disinfectant that can be used both on hard and soft surfaces. It provides a fast kill time of as low as 30 seconds to 1 minute on most viruses and bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide has EPA-registered kill claims on over 38 pathogens, including 13 antibiotic-resistant ones. According to the CDC, household (3 percent) hydrogen peroxide is effective in deactivating rhinovirus, the virus that causes the common cold, within 6 to 8 minutes of exposure. All of these facts make it an ideal disinfectant in high turnover environments. Hydrogen peroxide is the safest disinfectant to use on computer screens, LED’s and plexiglass as it is least likely to cause any “fogging” or scratching.

BLEACH

Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is a concentrated disinfectant that kills a broad spectrum of microorganisms and controls mold and mildew. Germicidal bleach is stronger than regular household bleach, and typically is a 8.25% sodium hypochlorite solution. Germicidal bleach is EPA-registered to kill over 70 organisms, with a typical kill time of 5 minutes. It can be used on a wide variety of hard surfaces, however, as it is a very strong oxidizer it has the potential to discolor surfaces and fabrics. Bleach is often used in hospital environments that have significant exposure to germs, including some of the more kill resistant germs.
