Why this antibacterial wipe earns its place
CIF Pro Formula wipes are built for the surfaces that need disinfecting fast between jobs – sinks, hobs, tiles, tables and chairs – killing 99.9% of bacteria and viruses in one wipe. The honeycomb weave texture is doing more than a flat wipe would; it physically collects more grime as it passes over a surface, so you're lifting dirt away rather than just smearing it around.
Because they're bleach-free, they suit a wider range of washable hard surfaces without the risk of bleach damage or lingering odour, and the formula leaves a pleasant fragrance behind rather than a chemical smell. That combination of disinfecting power and a scent that doesn't overpower makes them a practical option for front-of-house areas as well as back-of-house cleaning.
The pack comes in resealable packaging, which matters more than it sounds – wipes left open dry out and stop working properly, so being able to reseal between uses keeps the full 100-count pack usable rather than losing wipes to evaporation halfway through.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
