When using sanitary wipes:
The action time for hands should be ≤1min,
The action time on intact skin and mucous membranes should not exceed 5 minutes.

Disinfecting wipes
At present, there is no relevant industry standard that uses non-woven fabrics as raw materials and adds main disinfection ingredients, which are mainly used for the disinfection of surfaces of medical institutions, equipment surfaces or hospital beds.
Since the purpose of using wet wipes in medical institutions is to remove and kill pathogenic microorganisms that may cause hospital infections, it is very necessary to choose to use sterile wipes. At present, the main component of disinfectant wipes is quaternary salt, which can reduce the possibility of cross-infection and secondary pollution caused by traditional wipe cleaning and disinfection, and has the characteristics of one-step cleaning and disinfection. In the process of disinfecting wet towels, you need to make sure that “one towel is used for one thing, and one towel is used for the bed.”
Generally speaking, there is a significant difference between disinfectant wipes and sanitary wipes. The former is mainly used for the disinfection of hospital infections in medical institutions, and the latter can be used in daily life, and the killing rate of bacteria should not be less than 90%. Consumers need to pay attention to differences in the purchase process, especially when shopping online, they should pay more attention to product information.
