Why this antibacterial wipe earns its place
For teams wanting a grab-and-wipe sanitising routine on general surfaces without reaching for a spray bottle each time, this starter tub gives a fast, low-fuss way to keep hygiene standards up through a shift.
The wipes kill all tested bacteria and viruses within one minute of contact, tested to EN1276 (1 minute) and EN14476 (2 minutes), and leave a 24-hour residual effect on the treated surface, so protection carries on working between wipe-downs. They're dermatologically tested to an Excellent standard, meaning staff don't need PPE to use them.
The quat-free, non-toxic formula avoids the skin and airborne irritation that harsher wipes can cause with repeated use through a shift. The tub itself is made from 30% recycled HDPE and goes back into normal recycling once empty, while the wipes currently go to general waste. Corrosive, irritant and flammable hazard flags are all clear.
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.
