Red Alert for Dirt! New Portable Pack Size Means no Dirt is Safe

15 February 2006

Cleans & degreases, conditions and helps protects from disease - all in one wipe!

When working on site or undertaking critical maintenance, it is often not possible to stop work to clean soiled hands and this can represent a significant problem when the risk of recontamination of serviced equipment is high, or when handling of electronic equipment is required.

‘Toughwipes’ are a tough, strong, and versatile hand cleaning wipe made from advanced synthetic fabric. They have a smooth, absorbent under side, and a textured upper side which works as a tough ‘scrub’. Impregnated with cleaning and degreasing agents, each wipe is tough on soiling and capable of removing oil, grease, paint, ink, adhesives and silicone. They also contain conditioning agents, therefore, they can assist in the prevention of skin disorders such as occupational dermatitis whilst leaving hands clean and dry in one application, all without the use of water, soap or towels. Additionally, every wipe contains a bactericide highly effective against Weils Disease.

Weil’s disease is a particularly dangerous disease which is predominantly caught from standing water infected with the pathogen from rat urine, although, any area where vermin may be active (whether water is present or not) has the potential to pose a risk to health so severe that it falls under the “Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995” where all occurences must be reported to the government. Symptoms are similar to those of influenza, meningitis, hepatitis, dengue or viral haemorrhagic fevers and so may go untreated for weeks but can be fatal.
