The prerequisite for disinfecting wet wipes is to choose disinfecting wipes. For many wet wipes currently on the market, most of them are ordinary wet wipes or sanitary wipes, which are completely different from disinfecting wipes in definition.

Choose wipes on demand

1. For ordinary cleaning, for home or going out, you can choose ordinary wipes to meet the purpose of cleaning;

2. For those who have relatively high requirements and hope to have a certain sterilization effect after wiping, you can choose sanitary wipes, but sanitary wipes can only have a certain antibacterial effect, and will play a sterilizing effect after a period of time after wiping, and Can not achieve the effect of disinfection;

3. For wet wipes with special requirements that hope to be able to sterilize quickly and play a role in disinfection, disinfection wipes must be selected, which can be sterilized more thoroughly, mainly for the prevention of sudden influenza.

Therefore, under the premise of a reasonable selection of wet wipes, the effect of cleaning, sanitation and disinfection can be achieved. Not all wet wipes have the same effect, which is a misunderstanding.
