Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can you use disinfecting wipes on skin?
A: No. Disinfecting wipes like Greenwipes® MD-7030-200 are formulated with 70% isopropyl alcohol, which is highly effective for surfaces but too harsh for direct use on skin. For personal hygiene, it’s best to use hand sanitiser or wipes made specifically for skin contact.
Q: Do disinfecting wipes expire?
A: Yes. All disinfectant wipes have a shelf life, usually 1–2 years depending on storage conditions. After expiry, the alcohol content may evaporate or weaken, reducing their ability to kill germs effectively. Always check the packaging date and store wipes in a sealed container away from heat and sunlight.
Q: Can I DIY disinfectant wipes?
A: While it’s possible to make homemade wipes by soaking cloths or tissues in alcohol or bleach solutions, DIY versions often lack consistent alcohol concentration, lint control, and safety testing. Greenwipes® MD-7030-200 Disinfectant Wipes are professionally formulated and tested for safety and non-toxicity, ensuring reliable germ-killing performance every time.
