How safe are disinfectant wipes?

Some powerful disinfectant wipes are on the market, and with so many different options available to buy it is important to know if they are suitable for your requirements. The first step is to clarify and understand the difference between disinfectant wipes and sanitising wipes. Most sanitising wipes are safe to use on various surfaces, including hands and skin. Sanitising wipes can help to prevent the transmission of illnesses by reducing the number of bacteria on surfaces and by reducing the spread from skin-to-skin contact. Disinfectant wipes are generally too harsh for use on sensitive or delicate surfaces, and thanks to their amazing cleaning properties they are usually used on equipment and hard surfaces. While sanitising wipes are designed for lighter applications and skin use, disinfectant wipes are ideal for a more thorough and powerful clean.
