Why this antibacterial wipe earns its place
Pal TX is a ready-to-use disinfectant wipe built for fast surface hygiene work in commercial kitchens and food environments. It's effective against 99.9% of bacteria including MRSA, E.coli, Listeria and Salmonella, and against most viruses and fungi too, so one wipe covers the range of pathogens a food business actually needs to worry about.
It carries EN1276 and EN13697 disinfectant approvals, the standard tests for bactericidal activity, and it's formulated to be suitable for use in food environments – it's non-tainting and food-safe, so it can be used on and around surfaces that come into contact with food without leaving residue behind. It also meets current Maximum Residual Level regulations, relevant for anywhere handling food.
The formula is alcohol-free, quat-free and PHMB-free, which matters for sites trying to avoid those specific chemical classes, whether for compliance, allergy or compatibility reasons. It comes ready to use straight from the tub, and the sealable lid keeps wipes from drying out between uses, so the tub lasts the full 200 wipes rather than the last quarter drying up on the shelf.
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.
