Cleaning Wipes Buyer’s Guide
Allowing bacteria and grime to fester on surfaces is a big no, but not everyone has time for a thorough clean. Cleaning wipes offer a quick and easy way to eliminate bacteria, germs and grime on work surfaces, food prep areas and even your hands, and there’s a huge range on the market to choose from.
Not sure what to look for when it comes to the best cleaning wipes? Take a look at this buyer’s guide.
Size
Larger and thicker wipes are best for tough grime and grease on kitchen surfaces. Wipes that can clean a large area at once are the best value for money. Woven wipes are generally the most durable, while non-woven wipes are better for cleaning your hands.
Multipurpose Use
Most cleaning wipes are suitable for a variety of non-porous surfaces. This includes stainless steel, glass and most kitchen surfaces. They can also, in some cases, be used to clean your hands, although those with higher alcohol content may dry out or irritate your skin.
Multipurpose wipes offer the best value for money, and multipacks are usually available so you can have a set in every room.
Ingredients
Most cleaning wipes contain a high alcohol percentage, which allows them to eliminate germs and viruses. Those with the highest alcohol content may damage delicate surfaces or harm your skin, so an alcohol concentration of around 70% tends to be best for domestic use.
Parents should check that their wipes are safe to use on children’s toys, highchairs and potties. Those with no alcohol tend to be safest for children, but they may not be as effective. Many cleaning wipes leave a clean scent after use, and this is often citrus smelling.
