Disposable Dry Wipe System

A: Ecolab’s Disposable Dry Wipe System offers multiple benefits, including simple, consistent preparation, proper wipe saturation and reduced exposure to cleaner odors. The system helps make more efficient use of cleaning resources – one 56-count canister provides approximately 19–28 microfiber-equivalent wipes, comparable to 2–3 traditional microfiber buckets.¹ This helps reduce the number of buckets that need to be prepared thus reducing cleaner and water consumption.³ And with disposable dry wipes, users get a clean, new wipe with every pull, unlike reusable microfibers that may retain microorganisms after laundering.²

A: Ecolab’s Disposable Dry Wipe System uses rolls with a fixed count of either 56 or 28 wipes, eliminating the recalling and counting required with traditional microfiber bucket systems. Each wipe count uses a defined volume of diluted chemistry, 32 oz. for 56 wipes and 16 oz. for 28 wipes. Together, these features help take the guesswork out of preparation, reduce variability and promote consistent wipe saturation across users and departments.

A: The Ecolab Disposable Dry Wipe System eliminates the counting, folding and laundry management associated with reusable microfiber, helping simplify wipe preparation. It also provides a clean, new wipe with every pull, unlike reusable microfiber that may retain microorganisms after laundering and can degrade over time.² While disposable microfiber cloths eliminate the need for laundering, they typically come at a higher cost per wipe. 

A: One 56-count canister provides approximately 19–28 microfiber-equivalent wipes.¹ Achieving the same microfiber equivalents with a traditional microfiber system would require approximately 2–3 buckets, each requiring cleaning chemistry. Thus, Ecolab’s Disposable Dry Wipe system covers more microfiber-equivalents, thus reducing the amount of cleaning chemistry needed.³

A: There are three design elements that help minimize cleaner odors: (1) the reusable canister provides a more enclosed design than open buckets or large-access lids, helping limit exposure to cleaning solution odors; (2) wipes are pulled through a small dispensing opening that helps remove excess liquid; and (3) the canister is sized for a defined volume of diluted chemistry. Together, these features help limit exposure to cleaning solution odors, reduce the potential for oversaturated wipes, and minimize excess cleaning solution on surfaces.

A: Ecolab’s Disposable Dry Wipes are 100% polypropylene and come in a large 12” x 12.25” size. While not as thick as traditional microfiber cloths, the wipes are absorbent and provide excellent soil removal.
