Chlorine disinfectant wipes for hard surfaces
Description
Clinell Clorox Tub (5200ppm chlorine) is a ready-to-use, one-step, high-strength chlorine disinfectant wipe for cleaning and disinfecting hard, non-porous surfaces and equipment. Each tub contains 70 extra-heavy, durable wipes impregnated with a 5200ppm available chlorine solution (as sodium hypochlorite), providing rapid broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity including proven effectiveness against Clostridium difficile spores and a wide range of bacteria, fungi and viruses. The wipes feature an odour-masking, anti-corrosion and long-lasting formulation, with a low-splash dispensing tub designed for use in demanding healthcare environments and for terminal cleaning.
Bnefits
High-strength 5200ppm available chlorine for powerful sporicidal and disinfectant action.
Ready-to-use, one-step wipe for simultaneous cleaning and disinfection of hard surfaces.
Proven to reduce Clostridium difficile infection rates and effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens.
Extra-heavy, durable wipe material designed not to tear or fall apart, even on large or rough surfaces.
Formulated to keep treated surfaces wetter for longer, supporting required contact times.
Odour-masking technology to provide a more pleasant, subtle bleach scent for users and patients.
Anti-corrosion additives to improve compatibility with many hospital-grade surfaces.
Low-splash, easy-dispense tub design for safer, cleaner wipe removal.
Stable chlorine formulation with extended shelf life compared to many conventional chlorine wipes.
Ideal for terminal cleaning and high-risk areas where C. difficile and other hard-to-kill organisms are a concern.
Indications
Disinfection of hard, non-porous surfaces and equipment in hospitals, clinics and other healthcare settings.
Terminal cleaning of patient areas, isolation rooms and high-risk environments.
Rapid decontamination of frequently touched surfaces such as bed rails, commodes, trolleys, drip stands and worktops.
Use in areas with known or suspected Clostridium difficile contamination.
Situations where a high-level sporicidal chlorine disinfectant is required as part of infection prevention and control protocols.
Composition
Active ingredient: Sodium hypochlorite 0.55%.
Available chlorine: approximately 0.52% (5200ppm) as free available chlorine.
Other ingredients: purified water and excipients.
Non-ionic surfactant: <5% (to aid cleaning and wetting of surfaces).
Impregnated into a heavy-duty, non-woven wipe substrate.
Formulation
Pre-moistened chlorine disinfectant wipes.
0.55% sodium hypochlorite solution providing 5200ppm available chlorine.
Alkaline aqueous solution with surfactant and proprietary odour-masking and anti-corrosion components.
Clear liquid impregnated into extra-heavy, durable non-woven wipe material.
Packaging
Tub of 70 pre-moistened wipes.
Low-splash, resealable dispensing lid designed to minimise splatter during wipe removal.
Single tub unit; typically also supplied in cases (e.g. 6 × 70 wipes) via distributors.
Label printing includes organism spectrum, kill times and usage directions.
Usage
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (e.g. disposable gloves) as per local infection-control policy.
Open the tub and pull out a single wipe from the centre feed, closing the lid immediately after to prevent drying.
Wipe the hard, non-porous surface or equipment thoroughly, ensuring it is visibly wet and fully covered.
For routine disinfection, allow the surface to remain wet for the recommended contact time (typically 30 seconds to several minutes, depending on the target organism).
For Clostridium difficile spores and other highly resistant organisms, ensure a full 3-minute contact time before allowing to air dry, unless the local protocol specifies otherwise.
Do not rinse the surface after use unless specifically required by local policy or manufacturer guidance for sensitive equipment.
Discard used wipes in appropriate clinical or domestic waste as per local regulations. Do not flush and do not macerate.
Do not use on skin or for personal cleansing. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Do not mix with other cleaning chemicals or acids, which may release hazardous chlorine gas.
Contraindications
Not for use on skin or for personal cleansing.
Not for application to open wounds or mucous membranes.
Do not use on soft furnishings or materials that may be damaged by strong oxidising agents or chlorine.
Do not mix with other cleaning agents, detergents or acids, as dangerous chlorine gas may be released.
Avoid use on chlorine-sensitive metals or materials without confirming compatibility.
Do not use if the tub or wipe solution appears heavily discoloured, contaminated or dried out.
Adverse Effects
May cause skin irritation or dryness on repeated or prolonged contact with the liquid; gloves are recommended.
Eye irritation in case of accidental splashes or contact with the liquid.
Respiratory irritation possible if vapour or aerosol is generated in poorly ventilated areas.
Potential for surface discolouration or corrosion on incompatible materials if used contrary to manufacturer recommendations.
Storage Conditions
Store in the original, tightly closed tub in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
Keep away from direct sunlight and sources of heat to maintain chlorine stability.
Store away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Avoid storing near acids or incompatible chemicals.
Duration
Single-use surface application per wipe, with required contact times typically between 30 seconds and 5 minutes depending on the target microorganism (e.g. 3 minutes for Clostridium difficile spores).
Onset
Disinfection begins immediately on contact with the surface; full sporicidal and virucidal efficacy is achieved after the stated contact time (e.g. 30 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on the organism).
