Disinfectant wipes: convenient and efficient cleaning guards

In modern life, keeping the environment clean and hygienic is essential for our health. From daily household cleaning to sanitation maintenance in public places, from preventing the spread of diseases to ensuring food safety, disinfectant wipes, as a convenient and efficient cleaning and disinfection tool, are playing an increasingly important role. Whether it is to resist the invasion of viruses during the flu season or to ensure food safety in the catering industry, disinfectant wipes have become an indispensable helper for people with their unique advantages.
1. Working principle of disinfectant wipes
The reason why disinfectant wipes can effectively kill microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi lies in the disinfectant ingredients they contain. Different types of disinfectants have their own unique sterilization mechanisms.
Alcohol disinfectants, such as common alcohol (ethanol), have a sterilization principle based on three aspects. First, alcohol can denature proteins. Microbial cells contain a variety of proteins, which play a key role in maintaining the normal structure and function of cells. Alcohol molecules can quickly enter microbial cells, destroy the spatial structure of proteins, and make them lose their original physiological activity, just like disrupting the internal structure of a lock and the key can no longer open it normally, so microbial cells cannot function normally. Secondly, alcohol has strong fat solubility. The cell membrane of microorganisms is mainly composed of phospholipid bilayers and has a certain degree of fat solubility. Alcohol can dissolve the lipid components in the cell membrane, destroy the integrity of the cell membrane, and leak the cell contents, thereby causing the death of microorganisms. Finally, alcohol can also interfere with the metabolic process of microorganisms. The metabolic activities in cells depend on the catalytic action of a series of enzymes. Alcohol can inhibit the activity of these enzymes, hinder the metabolic processes of microorganisms such as energy production and material synthesis, and ultimately make them unable to survive. Generally speaking, alcohol with a concentration of 70% - 75% has the best bactericidal effect. If the concentration is too high, such as 95% alcohol, the protein on the surface of the microorganism will coagulate rapidly, forming a protective film, preventing alcohol from further entering the cell, but reducing the bactericidal effect; if the concentration is too low, it will not be able to effectively denature the protein and destroy the cell membrane, which will also affect the bactericidal ability.

Chlorine-containing disinfectants, such as sodium hypochlorite, will hydrolyze in water to produce hypochlorous acid (HClO). Hypochlorous acid is an extremely unstable strong oxidant, and its bactericidal effect mainly comes from its strong oxidizing ability. Hypochlorous acid can react with various components in microbial cells, such as combining with sulfhydryl groups (-SH) in enzymes, making the enzymes inactive and thus destroying the metabolic function of microorganisms. It can also oxidize important biological macromolecules such as nucleic acids in cells, causing damage to genetic material, making it impossible for microorganisms to grow, reproduce and metabolize normally, and eventually dying. Chlorine-containing disinfectants have a wide spectrum of bactericidal activity and can effectively kill a variety of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms, and act quickly. However, their stability is poor and they are easily affected by factors such as light, temperature, and pH and become ineffective due to decomposition. At the same time, chlorine-containing disinfectants have certain irritation and corrosiveness, so it is necessary to pay attention to protection and correct dilution when using them.
Quaternary ammonium disinfectants, such as benzalkonium chloride, contain cationic groups in their molecular structure. The cell membrane surface of microorganisms usually carries a negative charge, and the cations of quaternary ammonium disinfectants can attract each other with the negative charges on the cell membrane surface and adsorb on the cell membrane through electrostatic action. Subsequently, the disinfectant molecules gradually embed into the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, changing the permeability of the cell membrane, causing important substances in the cell such as proteins and nucleic acids to leak out, leading to the death of microorganisms. Quaternary ammonium disinfectants may also interfere with the enzyme system in microbial cells and affect their normal metabolism. Quaternary ammonium disinfectants are relatively mild, less irritating, more stable and easy to use. However, their killing effect on some viruses (such as lipophilic viruses are more effective, and hydrophilic viruses are relatively weaker) and some Bacillus may not be as good as alcohol and chlorine-containing disinfectants.
2. The secret of the ingredients of disinfectant wipes
2.1 Disinfectants
Disinfectants are the core ingredients of disinfectant wipes to play a bactericidal and disinfecting role. Different types of disinfectants have their own unique bactericidal properties and scope of application.
Alcohol in alcohol disinfectants is highly favored for its high efficiency and rapid bactericidal ability. It can not only quickly kill common bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., but also has an inactivating effect on many viruses, such as influenza virus, hand, foot and mouth disease virus, etc. Alcohol disinfection is extremely fast, it can take effect in a short time after contacting microorganisms, and it evaporates quickly, without leaving too much residue on the surface of objects. Alcohol is irritating to a certain extent and may not be suitable for people with sensitive skin. At the same time, its flammability also limits its use in some special environments.
Chlorine-containing disinfectants have strong bactericidal ability and a wide spectrum of bactericidal activity. They can kill almost all common microorganisms, including bacterial spores (a dormant bacterial body that is highly resistant to most disinfectants). In environments with extremely high hygiene requirements such as hospitals and public places, chlorine-containing disinfectants are widely used to disinfect various medical devices, floors, walls, etc. However, chlorine-containing disinfectants have a strong irritating odor and are corrosive to metals and other materials. When used, they need to be diluted strictly in proportion to ensure safety and disinfection effect.

Quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants are relatively mild and less irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. They are suitable for some scenes with high irritation requirements, such as disinfection of infant products and hand disinfection. It is also common in daily household cleaning and can be used to clean furniture surfaces, toys, etc. However, the bactericidal effect of quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants is relatively weak, and a longer action time or higher concentration may be required to achieve the ideal disinfection effect for some tenacious microorganisms.
2.2 Wetting agent
Wetting agent plays a vital role in disinfectant wipes. It can keep the wet state of the wipes and ensure that the disinfectant can fully play its role. Common wetting agents include glycerol, propylene glycol, etc.
Glycerol, also known as glycerol, is a polyol with good moisturizing properties. It has three hydroxyl groups (-OH), which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules to firmly lock moisture. In disinfectant wipes, glycerol can absorb moisture from the air and prevent the moisture in the wipes from evaporating too quickly, so that the wipes always remain moist and soft. In this way, when we use disinfectant wipes, the disinfectant can be evenly distributed on the wiped surface, effectively contact with microorganisms and play a bactericidal role. At the same time, glycerol also has a certain lubricating effect, making the wiping process smoother and will not cause damage to the surface of the wiped object.
Propylene glycol is also a commonly used wetting agent. Its molecular structure contains two hydroxyl groups and also has good moisturizing properties. Compared with glycerol, propylene glycol has a lower viscosity and can penetrate into the fiber faster, making it easier for wet wipes to be evenly soaked during the production process. In addition, the volatility of propylene glycol is slightly higher than that of glycerol, which helps to bring the disinfectant to the surface of the object faster as the water evaporates when using wet wipes, thereby improving the disinfection efficiency. Propylene glycol is less irritating to the skin and has higher safety, making it suitable for various types of disinfectant wet wipes.
2.3 Other additives
In order to improve the use experience and performance of disinfectant wet wipes, some other ingredients such as moisturizers, fragrances and pH adjusters are also added.
In addition to the above-mentioned glycerol, which has a certain moisturizing effect, some natural oils (such as olive oil, jojoba oil) and vitamin E are also often added to disinfectant wet wipes. These moisturizers can provide additional moisture and protection for the skin while cleaning and disinfecting. For example, olive oil is rich in a variety of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins, which can penetrate into the stratum corneum of the skin, replenish the lost oil of the skin, and prevent the skin from becoming dry and rough due to frequent use of wet wipes. Vitamin E has an antioxidant effect, which can protect skin cells from free radical damage, while enhancing the skin's barrier function and reducing the damage to the skin caused by external stimuli.
The addition of flavors is to give disinfectant wipes a pleasant smell and cover up the irritating smell that the disinfectant itself may bring. Common flavors include lemon, lavender, mint, etc. Lemon flavor can give people a fresh and refreshing feeling. When cleaning places such as kitchens, it can effectively remove odors and create a fresh environment. Lavender flavor has a soothing and relaxing effect. When used for cleaning environments such as bedrooms, it helps relieve stress and improve sleep quality. Mint flavor can bring a cool feeling. When used in summer or for cleaning hands, it gives people a refreshing and comfortable experience. However, it should be noted that the amount of flavor added should be moderate, and excessive amounts may irritate the respiratory tract or skin of some people.
pH adjusters are used to adjust the pH of disinfectant wipes to keep them within a suitable range. Different disinfectants have different stability and bactericidal effects under different pH conditions. For example, chlorine-containing disinfectants have better sterilization effects in acidic environments, but too strong acidity will increase their corrosiveness; while quaternary ammonium disinfectants are more stable in neutral to weakly alkaline environments. Therefore, by adding appropriate pH regulators (such as citric acid, sodium hydroxide, etc.), the formula of disinfectant wipes can be optimized to ensure the effectiveness and stability of the disinfectant, while reducing damage to the skin and the surface of the wiped object.
3. Types of disinfectant wipes
3.1 Daily household disinfectant wipes
Daily household disinfectant wipes are mainly used in various cleaning and disinfection scenarios in the home environment. Its disinfectant ingredients are usually mild to meet the needs of frequent use by family members. For example, many household disinfectant wipes use quaternary ammonium disinfectants and an appropriate amount of alcohol, which can effectively kill common bacteria and viruses, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, influenza virus, etc., and reduce irritation to the skin. In terms of materials, soft and comfortable non-woven fabrics are often used to protect the surfaces of furniture, electrical appliances, etc. from scratches. These wipes are widely used in the home. They can be used to wipe the kitchen stove, cutting board, and tableware to effectively remove oil and bacteria and ensure food safety; in the living room, they can be used to wipe high-frequency contact areas such as coffee tables, TV remote controls, and door handles to prevent the spread of germs; in the bedroom, they can be used to clean bedside tables, lamp switches, etc. to create a clean sleeping environment. Household disinfectant wipes often have fresh scents, such as lemon and lavender, which add a sense of pleasure to home cleaning.
3.2 Medical-grade disinfectant wipes
Medical-grade disinfectant wipes play an important role in the medical and health field and have extremely high requirements for disinfection effects and safety. Such wipes usually contain highly effective disinfectants, such as chlorine-containing disinfectants, hydrogen peroxide, etc., which can kill a variety of stubborn microorganisms including bacterial spores and drug-resistant bacteria, and effectively prevent the spread of hospital-acquired infections. In terms of material, the non-woven fabrics used in medical-grade disinfectant wipes have been specially treated to have good water absorption and flexibility. At the same time, they can ensure that there will be no fiber shedding when wiping the surface of medical devices and medical equipment to avoid contamination of the equipment. They are mainly used in hospital wards, operating rooms, treatment rooms and other places. They can be used to disinfect beds, operating tables, medical instruments (such as sphygmomanometers, stethoscopes, monitors), infusion stands, etc. They can also be used to disinfect the hands of medical staff and clean and disinfect patients' skin. Medical-grade disinfectant wipes must be produced in strict accordance with relevant medical standards and specifications, and undergo strict quality testing to ensure the reliability and stability of their disinfection effects.
3.3 Industrial disinfectant wipes
Industrial disinfectant wipes are mainly used in industrial production environments to clean and disinfect various equipment, tools and work areas. Due to the complexity of the industrial environment, the variety of microbial contamination faced, and the strict requirements for the normal operation of the equipment and product quality, industrial disinfectant wipes usually have strong decontamination and sterilization capabilities. Common industrial disinfectant wipes use high-concentration disinfectants, such as quaternary ammonium salts and other powerful bactericides in a compound formula to deal with various bacteria, fungi and viruses in the industrial environment. Its material is often tougher and more durable, able to withstand greater friction, and not easy to break when wiping the surfaces of large machinery and equipment, industrial instruments and meters, workshop workbenches, etc. Industrial disinfectant wipes also focus on the protection of the equipment surface to avoid corrosion or damage to the equipment due to the cleaning and disinfection process. For example, in the food processing industry, industrial disinfectant wipes can be used to clean food processing equipment, conveyor belts, etc. to ensure the hygiene and safety of the food production process; in the electronics manufacturing industry, it can disinfect electronic equipment and production lines to prevent static electricity from adsorbing dust and microorganisms and ensure the quality of electronic products.
3.4 Disinfectant wipes for special scenarios
Disinfectant wipes for special scenarios are designed for specific environments or special needs. For example, disinfectant wipes used in the food processing industry must not only have strong sterilization capabilities, but also must ensure that there is no risk of contamination to food. This type of wipes usually uses food-grade disinfectants and raw materials. While effectively killing bacteria and viruses, no harmful substances will remain on the surface of food to ensure food safety. In pet breeding places, special disinfectant wipes can be used to clean pet supplies (such as food bowls, toys, cat litter boxes) and pet activity areas. The ingredients must be safe and harmless to pets, and can not only remove odors, but also kill possible germs, prevent the spread of pet diseases, and protect the health of pets. There are also some disinfectant wipes designed for outdoor adventures and travel scenes. In addition to basic disinfection functions, they are also portable and waterproof. They are usually packaged independently and are easy to carry in backpacks. When clean water is not available in the wild, they can be used to clean hands, tableware, and temporarily treat the skin around wounds to prevent infection. These special scene special disinfectant wipes meet the special cleaning and disinfection needs in different scenarios through targeted formula design.
4. Application areas of disinfectant wipes
4.1 Home cleaning
In the home environment, disinfectant wipes are everywhere, providing all-round cleaning protection for our daily lives.
As an important place for food processing and storage in the family, hygiene is crucial. Disinfectant wipes can be used to wipe the stove, effectively removing the oil and food residues splashed during cooking, while killing bacteria attached to it to prevent bacterial growth and spread. The chopping board is a platform for cutting food, which is prone to various microorganisms. Regular wiping with disinfectant wipes can ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the chopping board and avoid cross-contamination. After using the tableware, if it cannot be cleaned in time, it can be simply wiped with disinfectant wipes to reduce bacterial growth. High-frequency contact areas such as kitchen door handles, faucets, and refrigerator handles are also places where bacteria are easily spread. Frequent wiping with disinfectant wipes can effectively block the transmission of pathogens.
The living room is the main area for family members to move around and receive guests. Items such as TV remote controls, sofa armrests, and coffee tables are often touched by many people and are easily contaminated with bacteria and viruses. Disinfectant wipes can clean and disinfect these items at any time to keep the living room environment clean. Especially during the flu season, wiping these areas frequently can reduce the risk of family members contracting viruses.
The bedroom is where we rest, and maintaining a clean and comfortable sleeping environment is essential to health. Disinfectant wipes can be used to clean bedside tables, light switches, bed frames, etc. to remove dust and bacteria. For families with children or pets, regularly wiping the cribs, pet nests and other surrounding areas with disinfectant wipes can effectively prevent the spread of diseases and protect family and

The health of pets.
4.2 Offices
Offices are densely populated and office supplies are frequently used, which can easily cause the spread of germs. Disinfectant wipes have become a powerful assistant for cleaning the office environment.
Computer keyboards and mice are equipment that office workers frequently touch every day, and their surfaces are prone to accumulate a large number of bacteria, viruses and dust. Regularly wiping the keyboard and mouse with disinfectant wipes can effectively kill germs and reduce the risk of disease transmission due to contact. At the same time, the computer screen can also be gently wiped with special disinfectant wipes to remove stains without damaging the screen.
Office supplies such as desks, file cabinet handles, and telephones also need to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Disinfectant wipes can quickly clean stains and germs on the surface of these items and keep the office environment clean and hygienic. Especially when multiple people share office equipment, wiping with disinfectant wipes before and after each use can effectively prevent cross-infection.
Public areas such as meeting rooms, elevator buttons, and stair handrails in office spaces are also key areas for the spread of germs. Before and after meetings, wiping conference tables, chair armrests, etc. with disinfectant wipes can provide a hygienic environment for participants. In elevators and stairwells, frequently wiping buttons and handrails with disinfectant wipes can reduce the possibility of germ transmission and protect the health of office workers.
4.3 Healthcare
In the field of healthcare, disinfectant wipes play a vital role and are an important tool for preventing and controlling infection.
Hospital wards are places where patients receive concentrated treatment and rehabilitation, and there are many types of germs with high density. Disinfectant wipes can be used to clean the surfaces of items that patients often touch, such as beds, bedside tables, chairs, etc., to effectively kill bacteria, viruses and fungi and prevent cross-infection. For patients with limited mobility, disinfectant wipes can also be used for skin cleaning to maintain skin hygiene and prevent skin infection.
The operating room has extremely high requirements for hygiene, and any tiny germ contamination may lead to serious consequences of surgical infection. Disinfectant wipes can be used to quickly disinfect surgical instruments and the surface of the operating table before surgery to ensure the sterility of the surgical environment. During the operation, medical staff can also use disinfectant wipes to clean their hands and the equipment they touch at any time to keep the operating area clean.
Medical equipment such as sphygmomanometers, stethoscopes, blood glucose meters, etc. are frequently used between different patients and are prone to spreading germs. Regular disinfection of these devices with disinfectant wipes can effectively kill germs, ensure the sanitation and safety of the equipment, and provide patients with accurate and reliable medical testing services.
In community health service centers, clinics and other primary medical places, disinfectant wipes are also widely used in daily cleaning and disinfection work to create a safe and hygienic medical environment for patients and medical staff.
4.4 Catering industry
The hygiene of the catering industry is directly related to the health of consumers, and disinfectant wipes play an important role in all aspects of catering places.
The dining table in the restaurant is where customers eat, and it is very important to keep it clean and hygienic. Before and after the customer's meal, the waiter can wipe the surface of the table with disinfectant wipes to remove stains and bacteria, providing customers with a clean dining environment. The armrests and backrests of the dining chair are also easily overlooked hygienic dead corners. Wiping with disinfectant wipes can effectively kill germs and enhance the customer's dining experience.
The cleaning and disinfection of tableware is the focus of hygienic work in the catering industry. Although tableware is usually treated by traditional methods such as high-temperature disinfection, simply wiping the tableware with disinfectant wipes before use can further ensure the hygiene of the tableware. Especially for some tableware that cannot be sterilized at high temperature, such as plastic tableware, wooden tableware, etc., the disinfection effect of disinfectant wipes is more important.
In the kitchen, disinfectant wipes can be used to clean cooking equipment, cutting boards, knives, etc. The surface of cooking equipment is prone to residual oil and food residues, breeding bacteria. Wiping with disinfectant wipes can remove stains in time, kill bacteria, and ensure the hygiene and safety of the food processing process. Cutting boards and knives are prone to cross-contamination after handling different ingredients. Using disinfectant wipes to wipe can effectively avoid this situation.
4.5 Travel
During travel, we will be exposed to various public facilities and environments. Disinfectant wipes provide us with a convenient way to clean and disinfect to ensure the health of the journey.
When taking public transportation, such as airplanes, trains, cars, etc., seat armrests, small tables, seat belt buckles and other parts are touched by many passengers and are easily contaminated with germs. Using disinfectant wipes to wipe these parts can effectively reduce contact with germs and reduce the risk of infection. On the plane, you can also use disinfectant wipes to wipe personal equipment such as headphone jacks and reading light buttons to ensure hygiene.
After arriving at the hotel, various facilities in the hotel room, such as door handles, TV remote controls, light switches, toilet buttons, bathtubs, etc., may pose health risks. Wiping these facilities thoroughly with disinfectant wipes can create a relatively safe accommodation environment for yourself. Especially for toilets and bathtubs, which are in direct contact with the body, it is particularly important to use disinfectant wipes for disinfection.
5. Correct use and precautions of disinfectant wipes

5.1 Usage method

When using disinfectant wipes, choose the appropriate product according to different usage scenarios and purposes. When disinfecting your hands, take out a piece of disinfectant wipes, start from the fingertips, and wipe the palm, back of the hand, finger joints and other parts in turn to ensure that every corner is covered. The wiping time is generally not less than 30 seconds to allow the disinfectant to fully work, and then wait for the hands to dry naturally. For the disinfection of the surface of objects, such as furniture, electrical appliances, etc., first wipe the dust and stains on the surface with a clean rag, and then wipe the surface of the object evenly with disinfectant wipes to ensure that the wipes completely cover the area that needs to be disinfected. For some larger surfaces, you can wipe them in different areas and let them dry naturally after wiping. There is no need to rinse them with clean water, because the disinfectant in the disinfectant wipes can continue to play a bactericidal role during the drying process. ​
If you are disinfecting tableware, fruits, etc., you should choose food-grade disinfectant wipes. When wiping tableware, make sure that the inner and outer surfaces, edges, handles and other parts of the tableware are wiped. After wiping, you can leave them for a while to allow the disinfectant to fully kill the germs, and then rinse them with clean water to remove the residual disinfectant. For fruits, after wiping the skin with disinfectant wipes, you also need to rinse them with clean water. This can not only ensure the hygiene of the fruit skin, but also avoid the harm of disinfectant residue to the human body. ​
5.2 Precautions​
Although disinfectant wipes are easy to use, there are many precautions that we need to pay attention to during use. Different types of disinfectant wipes have different scopes of application and methods of use. Be sure to read the product instructions carefully and use them correctly according to the instructions. For example, disinfectant wipes containing chlorine disinfectants cannot be mixed with acidic detergents, otherwise toxic chlorine gas will be produced, which will endanger human health.​
Disinfectant wipes cannot replace hand washing. Although disinfectant wipes can effectively kill bacteria and viruses on the hands, they cannot remove dirt and grease from the hands. If conditions permit, you should still use soap and running water to wash your hands. Follow the seven-step hand washing method and rub your hands thoroughly for at least 15 seconds to achieve better cleaning results. Disinfectant wipes can only be used as a temporary cleaning method when you cannot wash your hands in time. ​
For people with sensitive skin, before using disinfectant wipes, you should first try a small area on the inside of the wrist and other delicate skin parts, observe for 10-15 minutes, and use it normally if there is no allergic reaction such as redness, swelling, itching, etc. At the same time, avoid using disinfectant wipes to wipe mucous membranes such as eyes, mouth, and nasal cavity, because disinfectants may irritate these sensitive parts, causing discomfort or even damage. ​
In addition, disinfectant wipes should be stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature environments. High temperature and direct sunlight will accelerate the decomposition and volatilization of disinfectants, reducing the effectiveness of disinfectant wipes. At the same time, be careful to place disinfectant wipes in places that are out of reach of children to prevent them from accidentally ingesting or misusing them. If the disinfectant wipes are dry, discolored, or have an odor, it means that they have deteriorated and can no longer be used. They should be discarded in time.
