Shop Disinfectant, Sanitizing & Disposable Wipes on Amazon.com

Disposable wipes or wipers are sheets of paper or cloth, usually contained in a wipes dispenser such as a box or canister, to be thrown away after use. They are often presoaked with antibacterial, disinfectant, and/or cleaning agents for wiping surfaces, hands, or tools. The terms disinfecting and sanitizing are often used interchangeably, but in the case of a disposable wipe, disinfectant often refers to wipes used on inanimate objects, whereas sanitizer wipes are sometimes intended for hands and faces.

Disinfectant wipes are used for cleaning surfaces such as counters, stoves, sinks, and highchairs. They kill bacteria, viruses, and reduce allergens, as well as remove dirt and kitchen grease. EPA registered medical disinfectant wipes are used in medical, dental, and veterinary facilities. Sanitizing wipes can also be used to clean surfaces, but many products are specifically hand sanitizing wipes, used as an alternative to washing with soap and water.

Other disposable products include washcloths and drying towels, rags, shop towels, screen and keyboard wipes, gym wipes, lens cleaning stations, and sting relief wipes, and various towelettes, among other items. When selecting a disposable wiper, it is important to know the ingredients, specific uses, and whether the wipe is flushable or biodegradable.
