Universal detergent and disinfectant surface wipes
Description
Clinell Large Universal Sanitising Wipes x 120 (BCW120) are large, alcohol-free, single-use surface wipes impregnated with Clinell’s patented 2-in-1 detergent and disinfectant formulation. Designed for cleaning and disinfection of general surfaces and non-invasive medical equipment in a single step, they are proven to kill at least 99.999% of germs and provide up to 72-hour residual antimicrobial activity on surfaces when used as directed. The near-neutral pH, quaternary ammonium and polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) based formula offers broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, viruses, fungi and mycobacteria, while remaining compatible with a wide range of healthcare surfaces and equipment. Each resealable flow-wrap pack contains 120 large wipes suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, aesthetic practices, care homes and food preparation areas.
Bnefits
Dual action: combines detergent and disinfectant in one wipe, cleaning and disinfecting in a single step.
Proven to kill at least 99.999% of germs, providing high-level antimicrobial performance compared with many standard surface wipes.
Broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, enveloped and many non-enveloped viruses, fungi and mycobacteria, including common healthcare-associated pathogens.
Up to 72-hour residual activity on surfaces, helping to maintain antimicrobial protection between routine cleaning cycles.
Alcohol-free, near-neutral pH formulation designed for excellent material compatibility and reduced risk of damage to sensitive surfaces compared with alcohol-based products.
Suitable for both general environmental surfaces and non-invasive medical devices, reducing the need for multiple different surface products.
Safe for use in food preparation and catering areas when used as directed, supporting infection control in multi-use environments.
Large wipe size provides good coverage of bigger surfaces and items, improving efficiency during cleaning.
Resealable pack helps keep wipes moist and ready to use while reducing evaporation and waste.
Widely used and trusted in healthcare settings and supported by extensive efficacy testing to European standards.
Indications
Routine cleaning and disinfection of non-invasive medical equipment such as blood pressure cuffs, monitors, drip stands, commodes (external surfaces), trolleys and infusion pumps, in line with local policies.
Environmental surface disinfection in clinical areas including bed rails, bedside tables, door handles, light switches, worktops, treatment couches and other frequently touched surfaces.
Use in aesthetic, dermatology and cosmetic clinics to clean and disinfect treatment couches, work surfaces, trolleys and non-invasive devices between clients.
Cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment in food preparation and dining areas where an alcohol-free, food-area-compatible disinfectant is required.
Rapid decontamination of shared equipment and high-touch points during and between patient care episodes.
Part of routine daily cleans and enhanced cleaning regimes during outbreaks or periods of increased infection-prevention precautions.
Green Clinell Universal branding with clear usage instructions, key claims (e.g. kills at least 99.999% of germs, 72-hour residual activity), batch number and expiry date printed on the pack.
Peel-back resealable label or plastic lid (depending on variant) to help prevent wipes from drying out.
Packs typically supplied individually or in outer cases for hospital and clinic supply chains.
Usage
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as required by local infection-prevention policies.
Open the resealable label or lid and remove one wipe, resealing the pack immediately afterwards to prevent remaining wipes from drying out.
If surfaces are heavily soiled, remove gross contamination first using a fresh wipe or other cleaning method, then use a new wipe for disinfection.
Wipe the surface or equipment thoroughly, working from clean to dirty areas and using an S-shaped motion, taking care not to go over the same area twice with a soiled section of the wipe.
Ensure the surface is completely wetted by the wipe and remains visibly wet for at least the minimum recommended contact time (typically 1 minute for full broad-spectrum claims; many bacteria are killed from 10 seconds, with specific viruses such as coronavirus in around 30–60 seconds according to the universal range data).
Allow the surface to air-dry; do not rinse unless explicitly required by the device manufacturer’s instructions or local policy.
Dispose of used wipes in accordance with local waste policies (e.g. clinical or domestic waste depending on area of use and contamination).
Use additional wipes if the first wipe becomes dry or visibly soiled before the entire surface is treated.
Do not flush wipes down toilets; dispose of in a suitable waste bin.
Do not use on skin or as a hand wipe; use dedicated skin or hand hygiene products instead.
Contraindications
Not intended for direct use on skin, mucous membranes or wounds.
Not suitable for sterilisation or high-level disinfection of invasive or critical medical devices that require dedicated high-level disinfection or sterilisation processes.
Avoid use on surfaces known to be incompatible with quaternary ammonium compounds or PHMB without prior compatibility testing.
Do not use in combination with other detergents or disinfectants, particularly anionic formulations or oxidising agents, which may reduce efficacy or cause adverse reactions.
Individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to quaternary ammonium compounds, PHMB, fragrances or other formulation components should avoid direct contact with the solution.
Adverse Effects
Generally well tolerated, but prolonged or repeated contact with the solution may cause mild skin dryness or irritation in some individuals.
Accidental eye contact with the eluate may cause transient irritation, redness or discomfort; rinse thoroughly with water if this occurs and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
Ingestion of the solution from the wipe may cause irritation of the mouth, throat or gastrointestinal tract and should be treated as an exposure requiring medical advice.
Very rare allergic reactions (e.g. due to PHMB or quaternary ammonium compounds) may occur in sensitised individuals; discontinue exposure and seek medical advice if signs of allergy appear.
Spillage of large volumes of the solution into the environment may pose a risk to aquatic organisms due to the presence of quaternary ammonium compounds and PHMB.
Storage Conditions
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
Do not allow packs to freeze; freezing may affect wipe and solution performance.
Keep the pack tightly closed or resealed when not in use to prevent wipes from drying out.
Avoid storing near strong oxidising agents or incompatible chemicals.
Protect packs from physical damage and contamination in storage areas.
Keep out of reach of children and unauthorised persons.
Duration
Used for individual cleaning and disinfection episodes; there is no fixed treatment course. Surfaces and equipment should be re-cleaned and disinfected according to local infection-prevention schedules (e.g. between patients, after contamination and during routine daily/terminal cleans). Residual activity can last up to 72 hours, but does not replace the need for routine cleaning.
Onset
Rapid onset; antimicrobial action begins immediately on application. The Clinell Universal formulation is effective against many bacteria from around 10 seconds, with a broad range of pathogens (including key bacteria and viruses) typically inactivated within approximately 1 minute when the surface is kept wet for the full contact time.
