Wipe away your worries.
IPA Wipes clean and disinfect your surfaces from nasty germs and viruses. These hospital-grade bactericidal disinfectant wipes are impregnated with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol which kills 99.9% of germs. The convenient and disposable wet wipe is safe, quick and easy to use. IPA Wipes eliminate one of the most unhygienic germ-spreading cleaning tools… the reusable cloth.
The dispenser tubs have a high-quality lid seal allowing for easy dispensing as well as reducing the evaporative action of the alcohol that is commonly experienced in lower-quality products.
IPA Wipes make your infection control plan more effective and easier to manage. There is no mixing of chemicals or bulk chemical storage required and no injuries associated with spraying liquids.

Surface disinfecting and cleaning
- Open the lid. Make a small hole in the centre of the lid seal and pull the wipe from the centre of the roll through the small X.
- Pull wipes at a 90° angle (parallel to the ground) from the container and close the lid.
- Test on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the suitability of the product on the surface.
- Remove any debris or excess stain deposits.
- Wipe and agitate the surface to be treated by hand.
- Turn the wipe to an unused section (or use a fresh one) for a final wipe. A circular motion removes most dirt and grime fast.
- Allow the surface to air dry for max dwell time.
- Repeat the process if necessary.
- Dispose of the used wipe.

Changing a 1000 wipes jumbo refill
- Open the dispenser and remove the old wipe packaging.
- Open a new roll of wipes by making a small hole at the top of the refill bag right in the centre. Pens are great for doing this :) Only open just as much as needed to pull a wipe through. Do not fully remove the roll from the packaging as this will reduce the life of the wipe due to evaporation.
- Fit new role into the dispenser.
- Pull the first wipe from the centre of the roll and push a part way through the nozzle, then pull through from the top.
Handy tips
- Keep the container closed to retain maximum performance.
- Use fresh disposable wipes. Always replace when visibly soiled or dry.

How do I use a tub of IPA Wipes?
- Open the lid, make a small hole in the centre of the lid seal and pull a wipe from the centre of the roll through the small X.
- Pull wipes at a 90° angle and close the lid.
- Test a small inconspicuous area first and remove debris.
- Wipe and agitate by hand, then turn to an unused section for a final wipe.

How do I change a jumbo roll refill in a dispenser?
Open the dispenser and remove the old packaging. Make a small hole in the centre of the top of the new refill bag and open it only as far as you need. Don't remove the roll from its packaging, because that shortens the life of the wipe through evaporation. Fit the roll, then pull the first wipe from the centre and push it part way through the nozzle.
Why does the lid seal matter?
The dispenser tubs have a high-quality lid seal and the dispensing slot controls dispensing. Both reduce the evaporation of the alcohol that's common in lower-quality products.
Do IPA Wipes leave a smell or residue?
No. They're fragrance-free and non-tainting, and they dry fast with no residue.
Why use wipes instead of spray and wipe?
- Wipes are ready-to-use, so there are no leaks, no mixing, no concentrates to handle and no heavy drums to lift.
- Each wipe is single-use, so there's no cross-contamination from dirty cloths.
- They help prevent wrist strain and RSI (wrist issues) from spray triggers, and breathing and respiratory issues caused by spraying chemicals that create mists.
- Staff training is easier, results are more consistent and surfaces get less residue. You can also control usage, reduce water and labour, and avoid laundering.
- They take compliance work off your plate: no plumbing compliance work (no more regular inspections of mixing stations) and no ongoing label compliance issues on bottles.
- Staff have more energy and less fatigue, and happy and safe staff clean better.
- You get improved cleaning and hygiene levels, reduced workers comp claims and absenteeism, and lower labour costs. You just pull a wipe and clean, instead of attaching a chemical concentrate to a mixing station, filling bottles, and spraying and wiping again and again.
How long do I need to keep the surface wet?
Allow the surface to air dry for maximum dwell time.
