INDUSTRIAL CLEANING


From the accumulation of oil and grease to ground-in grime and muck, engineering and manufacturing sites require special cleaning considerations to ensure they are clean from harmful bacteria and support the correct and efficient running of engineering components.


But the impact of dirt and grime in industrial environments can often go beyond cleanliness.


Mixtures of dusts, vapours and airborne particles are common in industrial areas and can lead to wider health issues that can reduce staff productivity, and factories can produce harmful chemicals that have negative impacts on the environment.


“Wet wipes are suitable for use in a range of different scenarios, including automotive,


construction and waste management sites.“


But how can you minimise the spread of dirt and grime, whilst extending the lifespan of your equipment, protecting your team and promoting a positive environmental impact? What happens when you don’t have access to clean running water or your workforce doesn’t have time to use a variety of cleaning products?


The benefit of wet wipes in industrial environments is something that is only now being widely recognised, despite many different ranges being available.


Wet wipes are quick and easy to use and have been proven to reduce cleaning time by 15%, resulting in more time that can be spent doing the job required. By using wet wipes, you can pull one out of its packaging, clean the area and bin the dirty wipe – there is no need for dirty rags or harmful solvent sprays.


Another aspect to consider when procuring wet wipes for industrial environments is the size of the wet wipe, as the larger the wipe, the bigger the area you’ll be able to clean.

At Uniwipe we design and manufacture a range specifically for construction and engineering environments. The Uniwipe Ultragrime Cleaning Wipes come as 380x250mm cloths, making them one of the largest wipes on the market. They are strong and absorbent, and safe to use on all surfaces including fabric, upholstery, tools and metals, as well as your hands.


From silicon and glue to oil, grease, ink and paint – industrial professionals will be all too familiar with the stubborn materials that don’t seem to budge, no matter how much effort is used. The Uniwipe Ultragrime Cleaning Wipes have been specially formulated with this in mind, and have unique properties that are guaranteed to remove chemical and industrial dirt and grime from people, tools and surfaces.


The wipes are impregnated with cleansing fluid, have grease-busting abilities and they are made from low- lint materials that act like microfibre fabrics, which can effectively pick up and trap dirt. They have very low foaming qualities and large absorbance capacities, and come in strong pouches that can stand the test in any environment.


They’ve also been dermatologically tested to ensure that they’re completely hand safe. They’re free from alcohol and have been developed with Vitamin E and Aloe, which protects the skin from environmental pollution.


The wipes are suitable for use in a range of different industrial, engineering and manufacturing scenarios, including automotive, decorating, construction, DIY and waste management sites.


Dirt and dust can also spread to other areas of industrial environments so make sure you have a range of wipes suited for each place to enable you to provide the highest standards of cleaning.


At Uniwipe, we’ve made it easy for you to ascertain where your wipes should be used. For instance, we’ve colour- coded all of our packs in accordance with The British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) standards, to ensure that it’s 100% clear which of our wipes should be used where, making it easy for you to choose the right product for the right area.


For example, our Washroom Sanitising Wipes (red packaging) are ideal for keeping industrial site toilet areas clean, while our Multipurpose range (blue packaging) can be used right across your site office on items such as tables and chairs. We also have our Catering Wipes (green packaging) that are totally food safe and are proven to clean and sanitise catering environments, including site kitchens and canteen areas.


By selecting the right products for the right areas, you’ll reduce your team’s cleaning time. In addition to this, you’ll be able to control your purchasing and spend by ensuring you have the right amount of the right products, which will reduce your inventory and increase storage spaces. For example, by using wet wipes you can diminish hassles associated with cleaning, as there is no need for additional resources such as mops and buckets or multiple trigger spray cleaners and piles of damp cleaning cloths.


As well as cleaning properties, you’ll need to make sure your workers are protected from the spread of harmful bacteria, as not all cleaning products are always capable of cleaning bacteria or fully removing dirt. For example, if you’re relying on traditional methods of cleaning such as a cloth and chemical sprays, unless your cloth is 100% clean, it won’t guarantee a 100% clean.


When selecting cleaning equipment, check to see if it comes in recyclable packaging, as this can have a positive impact on your business’ ‘green’ activities and boost your firm’s credentials.


Uniwipe has a strong and proven commitment to the environment which includes 50% of each product being made from recycled materials. Additionally, the pouch-style packaging produces less waste than traditional alternatives.


If you are unsure what cleaning products you should be using, and where, don’t ever leave it to chance. Always seek the advice of a specialist supplier as this will not only improve your standards of cleaning and hygiene, but will help you save time and money.
