Frequently Asked Questions
Are these medical cleaning products suitable for use on medical equipment as well as general surfaces?
▼
Several products in this collection, including the Clinell Universal range and Vitasept wipes, are formulated for use on both hard surfaces and clinical equipment. However, compatibility with specific materials or equipment should always be verified against the manufacturer's instructions before use, particularly for sensitive devices or screens.
Are any of the hospital cleaning supplies in this collection alcohol-free?
▼
Yes. The collection includes alcohol-free options such as the Globaquat med wipes, which use quaternary ammonium compounds as the active biocide. These are particularly useful in environments where alcohol-based products are restricted, such as around certain equipment or in areas with fire risk considerations.
What is the difference between detergent wipes and disinfectant wipes for clinical surface cleaning?
▼
Detergent wipes are designed for the cleaning stage, removing organic matter and debris from surfaces. Disinfectant wipes combine cleaning and disinfection in a single step, though their efficacy can be reduced on visibly soiled surfaces. In settings where a two-stage clean is required by infection control policy, detergent wipes should be used first followed by a separate disinfectant product. Check your setting's decontamination protocol before selecting.
