Wipes for Personal & Household Use
The Right Wipes for the Right Job

In the beginning, baby wipes were the dominant wipe in the consumer market. Consumers became quite creative in expanding the uses of baby wipes to include other things, such as cleaning surfaces, cleansing hands and other personal care uses.

With the explosion of new wipes available to the consumer, there is no longer a need to use one wipe for many applications. Baby wipes just won't clean stains and surfaces as effectively as a wipe made and designed specifically for that purpose. (What makes wipes so unique and specialized is the fact that the product has a successful "marriage" of some form of specific active ingredient or treatment integrated with a towel-like structure to perform a specified job.)

Wipes are not interchangeable. Today's wipes are designed for a specific application. For example:

  • Wipes are safely and effectively electrostatically charged acting like a magnet to pick up dust and lint more efficiently than an ordinary wiping rag
  • Floor wipes are designed to replace a bucket and mop. They are premoistened or come as part of an assembly with a liquid cleaner in order to clean floors of all types
  • Personal care wipes are specifically designed to carry cleansing cremes for your face with specific ingredients to help remove makeup
  • Surface wipes can carry products to disinfect countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, or waxes to help polish furniture, or cleaners for a car's interior and windows

Think about what you want in a wipe . . . do you want to clean your cabinets? Windows? Hands? Tables? Bathroom counter? There is a wipe on the shelf at your local store that will do the job
