Multi-surface detergent wipes
Description
Clinell Detergent Wipes x 215 are alcohol- and disinfectant-free multi-surface wipes developed by doctors for general cleaning and damp dusting in healthcare and other professional environments. Each convenient flowrap dispenser pack contains 215 large wipes impregnated with a patented, environmentally friendly detergent formula derived from renewable plant sources. The wipes are incredibly powerful yet ultra-low smear, designed to thoroughly remove visible dirt and organic soiling from hard surfaces and equipment, providing an effective cleaning step prior to disinfection. They are suitable for use on a wide range of non-porous surfaces and non-invasive medical equipment, including mattresses, bed frames, table tops, wheelchairs, desks, chairs, ledges, hoists, walking frames, telephones, examination couches and trolleys.
