YOUR QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
It’s important to use wipes rather than sprays when cleaning around or near food, as the chemical particles in the air can travel and land on food or serving items. Our Catering Midi-Wipes are food area approved, and effective within 30 seconds, so you can clean with confidence.
You should disinfect as often as possible, especially high traffic or communal use areas. Coronavirus for example can live on hard surfaces for days. High touch surfaces such as countertops, door handles, bathroom fixtures, toilets, computers, keyboards and phones should be cleaned regularly throughout the day.
Bactericidal wipes kill bacteria and a Virucidal wipes kill viruses. Often, if a product is only labelled as antibacterial it will not have a proven virus kill rate. Our Antibacterial & Virucidal wipes are tested to kill both bacteria and enveloped viruses like SARS-CoV-2.
It’s never safe to mix chemicals, which means that you should never combine spray disinfectants and bacteria wipes. While it may seem like a way to kill more germs, mixing spray disinfectants and antibacterial wipes can result in a hazardous mixture of chemicals. As long as you thoroughly wipe down the surface, using just one cleaning solution will kill all the germs. There’s no need to take the risks involved with using more than one chemical.
EN codes on packaging certifies the products are tested and conform to European Standards of effectiveness. There are many different EN standards for different tests against various bacteria, viruses and fungi.
EN standards are required for biocidal products – products with a substance designed to kill germs and bacteria – in order to prove their effectiveness. Products with EN standards give assurance that their performance is tested with verified and recognised methods.
All our wipes are professionally tested in regulated independent laboratories to European standards, and conform to the highest standards available. EN14476, for example, is the test for enveloped viruses including SARS-CoV-2 – our antibacterial wipes are effective in just 30 seconds.
Uniwipe products are specifically formulated to be safe on a wide range of surfaces such as hard surfaces, leather and upholstery. As they are alcohol free, they are also safe to use on technology equipment, subject to manufacturers guidelines.
Whilst some wipes are specifically designed for use on certain surfaces, the Uniwipe range of products is suitable for use on all hard surfaces for cleaning and disinfecting.
Uniwipe products are dermatologically tested, so are certified safe on skin. We also have the Hand & Surface wipe specifically designed and tested for use on hands. If you are prone to irritation from similar products, we recommend you wear gloves whilst using them.
When cleaning high traffic areas to avoid cross contamination, we recommend that you dispose of each wipe properly after using on a surface. This way you can be sure no germs are being transferred from one surface to another.
