Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between alcohol wipes and disinfectant wipes?

Alcohol wipes, such as Wipex 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Wipes, use concentrated alcohol to remove unwanted contaminants instantly. They evaporate quickly, leaving no residue, making them ideal for electronics, gym machines, and yoga mats. Disinfectant wipes, on the other hand, use powerful chemical agents to kill a wide range of germs and bacteria. To ensure true sanitizing power, they must be EPA-registered disinfectant wipes, meaning they meet strict safety and efficacy standards. These wipes are excellent for deep cleaning and sanitizing larger surfaces. Wipex proudly offers EPA-registered disinfectant wipes for those who prioritize certified protection. While alcohol wipes deliver fast, residue-free sanitation ideal for high-touch areas, disinfectant wipes provide long-lasting germ control — both serve different purposes but are equally effective in maintaining a clean, safe environment.

Are 70% alcohol wipes safe for gym equipment?

Yes. Wipex alcohol wipes are designed to be gentle yet effective. Their durable, lint-free cloth is safe for metals, plastics, rubber, and coated surfaces. Unlike harsh cleaners, these wipes sanitize without damaging padding, touchscreens, or finishes. Whether for commercial gyms, personal fitness setups, or studio equipment, Wipex wipes maintain hygiene without compromising the integrity of your machines or mats. Regular use protects both users and equipment while promoting a clean, professional workout environment.

How often should I clean gym machines with alcohol wipes?

High-traffic equipment should be cleaned before and after each session to prevent the spread of illness and allergies. For less frequently used machines, a daily wipe-down is sufficient. Regular cleaning not only reduces unwanted contaminants but also enhances member confidence in gym hygiene standards. Using Wipex 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Wipes consistently ensures a safe environment while maintaining the longevity of your fitness equipment.

Are Wipex wipes biodegradable?

Absolutely. Wipex individual 70% alcohol wipes are plant-based and fully made with compostable cloth, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic wipes. Biodegradable wipes reduce landfill waste while delivering the same high-performance cleaning power. For studio owners and gym managers, using Wipex supports sustainable practices and demonstrates commitment to environmentally responsible operations, making it a smart choice for both hygiene and green initiatives.

Can I use Wipex alcohol wipes at home?

Yes. Wipex wipes are versatile and convenient for home gyms, yoga mats, office equipment, and even electronics. Their fast-evaporating formula removes harmful agents without leaving residue, ensuring surfaces stay clean, safe, and ready for use. Perfect for busy households or personal workout spaces, these wipes make it easy to maintain a hygienic environment without harsh chemicals or extra cleanup.
