What's the Difference Between Sanitizing and Disinfecting Wipes?
It can be easy to confuse sanitizing wipes and disinfecting wipes and their safety regulations, but doing so can have dangerous consequences. At Dreumex, we want to ensure you make the best decision for your business.
Hard surface sanitizing wipes often require pre-cleaning with a detergent before use and if not done, can render the sanitizing formula ineffective. Hard surface sanitizing wipes cannot kill fungi, mold, mildew and viruses. Sanitizing a surface means you’re reducing microorganisms to levels considered safe.
Hard surface disinfecting wipes destroy bacteria, fungi and viruses in 10 minutes or less of application and prevent new bacteria from forming. They take longer to work but are the only way to guarantee that all types of germs are eliminated. They also prevent cross contamination which often contributes to mass outbreaks in many industries.
