Why Facility Managers Are Upgrading to 70% Alcohol Wipes That Actually Work

In environments where safety and hygiene define reputation, the way you clean isn’t just a detail — it’s a standard. From medical facilities to industrial sites and office complexes, professionals rely on consistent surface hygiene to protect people, equipment, and operations.

Yet many teams unknowingly rely on wipes that compromise consistency and long-term surface care, undermining the efficiency of their cleaning programs. When every second counts, you need a cleaning solution engineered for performance, not compromise.

That’s why an increasing number of facility managers are switching to Wipex 70% Alcohol Wipes — a professional-grade solution designed to balance efficacy, safety, and sustainability.

What Makes 70% Alcohol the Professional Standard

It’s not about using “the strongest” formula — it’s about using the right one.

70% isopropyl alcohol strikes the ideal balance between cleaning power and controlled evaporation, ensuring enough surface contact time to effectively break down and remove contaminants.

This concentration:

  • Offers reliable cleaning performance

  • Allows complete coverage before drying

  • Minimizes surface stress on sensitive equipment

  • Reduces vapor intensity and promotes user comfort

For high-traffic, compliance-sensitive facilities, 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes are the gold standard — and Wipex has perfected them.

Alcohol wipes by Wipex aren’t ordinary cleaning products — they’re the result of technical refinement focused on safety, performance, and professional consistency. Engineered to meet the demands of medical, industrial, and corporate environments, each wipe delivers precision cleaning for critical surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I safely use 70% alcohol wipes on electronics?

Yes, 70% alcohol wipes are generally safe for cleaning devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and keyboards, effectively removing harmful agents without damaging screens when used gently. Avoid applying excess moisture near ports, openings, or speakers to prevent liquid from seeping inside. For delicate or high-end electronics, wipe lightly and let surfaces air dry completely. For added safety and screen clarity, consider using wipes specifically designed for electronics, such as the Touchscreen Wipes by Wipexplant-based, and crafted to safely clean sensitive displays in medical, industrial, and office environments.

Are 96% alcohol wipes more effective at removing harmful agents than 70%?

Both 70% and 96% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes offer powerful cleaning performance — the difference lies in their ideal applications. Wipex 70% alcohol wipes provide balanced evaporation and extended surface contact time, allowing thorough sanitizing that effectively removes unwanted contaminants while remaining gentle on most materials. On the other hand, Wipex 96% alcohol wipes deliver faster drying and residue-free results, making them ideal for controlled environments where quick turnaround and low moisture are priorities, such as industrial production areas, laboratories, and electronics assembly lines. Choosing between them depends on your workflow needs — both deliver professional-grade cleanliness and consistency trusted across medical, industrial, and office settings.

How should I store alcohol wipes for maximum effectiveness?

To maintain potency, store alcohol wipes in a cool, dry location away from heat, sunlight, and open flames. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and drying out. Avoid leaving wipes in hot cars or near stoves. Proper storage maintains the alcohol’s stability and ensures reliable cleaning performance for months after opening.

Can alcohol wipes replace soap and water for hand hygiene?

Alcohol wipes provide a convenient option for maintaining hand cleanliness when soap and water aren’t accessible. They’re especially useful for quick sanitation in workplaces, healthcare facilities, or while on the move. Whenever possible, complement regular handwashing with the use of alcohol wipes to support consistent hygiene standards in any professional environment.

Are alcohol wipes safe for children and pets?

Alcohol wipes are safe when used on surfaces that children and pets touch, such as tables, toys, or door handles. Avoid direct application on skin, especially with high-concentration wipes, as it can cause irritation. Always supervise young children around cleaning products, and store wipes out of reach. For cleaning pet items, choose wipes that are natural and formulated with an alcohol content suitable for safe use around animals.
