For example, the Uniwipe product range includes five key products: Uniwipe Washroom Sanitising Wipes in red packaging, Uniwipe Multipurpose Wipes in blue packaging, which are suitable for any environment, Uniwipe Catering Wipes in green packaging, Uniwipe Clinical Sanitising Wipes in yellow packaging and Uniwipe Ultragrime Cleaning Wipes in black packaging that are suitable for use in industrial environments.


Before you begin to use wet wipes you also need to ensure that your employees are educated on how to use them to best effect.


Make sure your team is taught how to clean areas methodically, as if they are precise and systematic in their approach, you’ll save on both products and time. By getting into a cleaning routine, they will clean from top to bottom, which will not only make the process more efficient, but will also reduce the amount of waste they create.


You should also identify ‘hygiene hotspots’ such as sink and taps or worktops and cutting boards for example in catering environments. These should be areas in your environment that need to be paid special cleaning attention.


If you’re using an impregnated wipe, you can get maximum use out of it by folding it. For example, Uniwipe products can be used to carry out the eight-fold British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) Standards technique. They’re also dispensed one wipe at a time, meaning you get the one wipe you need while the others stay fresh in the pack.

“From traditional bucket and mop, cloths and chemicals or impregnated wipes, the


cleaning techniques we adopt form crucial roles in helping


to stop the spread of bacteria, germs and infections.”


Lastly, a proven way to boost your green credentials is to recycle as much as possible and use products that have recyclable packaging, as responsible cleaning product manufacturers put impregnated cloths and chemicals in recyclable packaging.


There are various styles of packaging, and wipes generally take up less storage space than traditional alternatives. However, the amount of waste generated by wipe packaging varies wildly.


Uniwipe’s pouches generate 900% less waste in weight – and a huge 1,500% less waste in volume – than a major competitor’s tub-style packaging.


Whatever your industry, you’ll reduce your waste by not only using products


with recyclable packaging, but by adhering to stringent recycling practices.


Another recycling benefit of wipes is that they will help you save on water, therefore reducing your laundry costs.


Reusable cloths have to be rinsed constantly and laundered at the end of the day, and the soapy chemical mix then has to be processed before it can be released into the waterways.


Traditional cloths therefore use additional energy and water, not to mention chemicals. What’s more, they become less effective as the day goes on, as the cloth gathers dirt and can even start to re-spread it.


When you’re deciding on your cleaning product range, you need to consider the overall picture, and balance the cost and energy of laundering against the waste created by an impregnated wipe.


To give you some comparison, Uniwipe provides 19 square metres of clean cloth compressed into a volume of 2.5 litres. Rinsing and laundering the equivalent of just 1kg of cloth – even with the most efficient machine – would require around 19 litres of water, while typical washers would require between 22 and 30 litres, according to the Alliance for Water Efficiency.


When you look at it like that – and consider that the right wipes are anti-bacterial and eliminate cross- contamination – the choice is straightforward.


As a result, wet wipes are a cleaner, greener option for businesses and suppliers looking to clean more with less waste.
