Sani-Cloth Prime Germicidal Wipes by PDI

PDI wipes, such as the Sani-Cloth Prime Germicidal Wipes, are used for disinfecting and cleaning hard, non-porous surfaces in healthcare environments. These wipes are designed to kill a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, helping to prevent the spread of infections. They are effective against 55 microorganisms, including C. auris, 5 MRSA strains, 8 CRE strains, VRE, and SARS-CoV-2 within 1 minute. These wipes are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, dental offices, and other healthcare facilities to disinfect surfaces like medical instruments, patient rooms, countertops, bedrails, and other frequently touched areas to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and maintain a sterile environment.

Direct contact with Sani-Cloth wipes is not recommended as these wipes contain potent disinfectants designed for surfaces, not skin. Handling them without gloves can cause skin irritation, dryness, or allergic reactions. It's essential to use gloves when handling these wipes to protect your skin from potential irritation or chemical exposure. If accidental contact with skin occurs, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. For cleaning skin, especially in a healthcare setting, it is better to use products specifically designed for skin use, such as alcohol-free hand sanitizers or gentle cleansing wipes formulated for dermatological use.

The contact time for PDI Sani-Cloth Bleach wipes is typically 4 minutes. This means that the surface being disinfected should remain wet for at least 4 minutes to ensure the effective elimination of the targeted microorganisms. Adhering to the specified contact time is crucial for achieving optimal disinfection results.
