Biodegradable hand and surface disinfectant wipes

Description

Nilaqua Biodegradable Surface & Hand Wipes (Pack of 100) are multi-purpose disinfectant wipes made in the UK from biodegradable cellulose fibres that are approximately twice as thick as standard wipes. Designed for use on both hands and a wide range of hard surfaces, they are 96% natural, alcohol free, vegan friendly and produced using 100% renewable energy. The wipes are free from formaldehyde, EDTA’s, added fragrance, dyes and parabens, and are housed in plastic-free, biodegradable substrate. Powered by quaternary ammonium biocides, they kill up to 99.99% of viruses and 99.9999% of bacteria from 30 seconds while remaining non-tainting to hard surfaces and suitable for kitchen and food preparation areas. They are ideal for homes, workplaces, cars, hospital wards, care homes, schools and kitchens as an eco-conscious infection-control solution.

Packaging

Pack of 100 wipes (individual wipe size typically around 200 mm x 200 mm, depending on batch/retailer).
Retail pack presented as a flexible flow-wrap or soft pack with resealable opening, depending on distributor.
Outer packaging clearly labelled with Nilaqua branding, product name, usage instructions, safety information and regulatory marks.

Usage

Open the pack and remove one wipe, ensuring the remaining wipes are resealed promptly to prevent drying out.
For surfaces: Wipe the surface thoroughly, ensuring complete coverage of the area to be disinfected.
Allow the surface to remain visibly wet for at least the contact time stated on the label (typically from 30 seconds) to ensure effective disinfection.
Allow to air dry; no rinsing is usually required on non-food-contact surfaces. For food-contact surfaces, follow label guidance and rinse if specified.
For hands: Wipe all areas of the hands, including between fingers and around nails, until thoroughly covered with solution, then allow to dry.
Dispose of used wipes in general waste in accordance with local waste regulations; do not flush wipes down toilets.
Always read the label and product information before use and follow any specific instructions or contact times given by the manufacturer.
Use biocides safely and keep wipes out of the reach of children when not in use.

Contraindications

Not for use on broken or heavily compromised skin; avoid use on open wounds.
Avoid contact with eyes; not intended as an eye wipe.
Not suitable for ingestion or use inside the mouth or other mucosal surfaces.
Should not be used on highly delicate or specialised equipment surfaces without confirming compatibility (always test on a small inconspicuous area first).
Individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to quaternary ammonium compounds or any listed ingredients should not use this product.
Not designed for sterilisation or as a substitute for all elements of hand hygiene (e.g. hand washing where visibly soiled).

Adverse Effects

Potential for mild skin irritation or dryness in sensitive individuals due to quaternary ammonium compounds or surfactants, especially with frequent or prolonged use.
Eye contact may cause irritation and redness; prolonged exposure requires rinsing with water and medical advice if discomfort persists.
Ingestion may cause throat irritation and gastrointestinal upset; medical attention is recommended in cases of accidental ingestion.
Overuse on certain sensitive surfaces may cause streaking or minor dulling; spot testing is advisable.
Very rare cases of allergic contact dermatitis or hypersensitivity reactions may occur in susceptible users.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
Keep the pack tightly closed when not in use to prevent the wipes from drying out.
Do not allow the liquid contents to enter drains or watercourses in concentrated amounts.
Avoid freezing and excessive heat which may affect wipe integrity and solution stability.
Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Store away from strong acids and strong oxidising agents as per SDS guidance.

Duration

Single-use per wipe application; surfaces should remain wet for at least the minimum contact time (from 30 seconds as per product claims) for full biocidal effectiveness. Frequency of use depends on local infection-control protocols and level of soiling or risk.

Onset

Demonstrated antimicrobial activity from 30 seconds contact time for viruses and bacteria under test conditions; practical hygiene benefits (cleaner, disinfected hands and surfaces) occur immediately after correct application and drying.
