The wipe that performs without the plastic.

More Coverage. Fewer Wipes. One-Minute Kill Time.

Most ready-to-use healthcare disinfectant wipes are made of plastic; this wipe is not. Streamline your daily disinfection process and help reduce single-use plastic with the first EPA registered wipe that combines a 1-minute contact time with a plastic-free wipe.

Plastic-free wood-pulp-fiber wipe is designed to provide advanced surface coverage that helps streamline disinfection.

Surface coverage enhanced.

Highly absorbent wipe locks in and evenly distributes disinfectant over surfaces. 

Disinfectant stays on the surface. 

Keeps surface better-saturated than alcohol-based disinfectants, which evaporate quickly.

"has insane surface coverage” 

- Healthcare Technician4

Reduce the number of wipes needed compared to the market-leading alcohol-based healthcare disinfecting wipes.

During a four-week OR study, one facility was able to reduce wipes used by 60%.

Help decrease environmental impact, while delivering disinfecting performance.

Address the primary source of the plastic – the wipe!

  • Of the total plastic, the wipes comprise 58% in canisters and 94% in bucket refill bags.
     
  • Each year, plastic wipes circle the globe 58 times from North American Healthcare facilities alone.
     
  • Disinfectant wipes with high alcohol content typically require a 1-2 minute contact time, but alcohol quickly evaporates, requiring more wipes for effective disinfection.

Choose the format to get the job done.

Refillable Bucket System 

8” x 10” wipe is great for EVS and large surface nursing applications (e.g., ER, OR, PACU)! Bucket comes prefilled with wipes. When empty, replace with refill bag, which has an easy open tear notch (no scissors required) and transferrable expiration sticker for the bucket. 

Compared to traditional cloth and buckets, simplifies workflows, reduces opportunities for error and contamination,8 9 and helps decrease environmental impact.

Canisters 

Ideal for nursing applications and available in 2 wipe sizes: Large (6”x6.25”) and Extra-Large (6”x13”). XL is a great option for large area surfaces! 

Soft-Pack 

5.75” x 7” size wipe available in a portable format ideal for mobile equipment, on-the-go, and patient rooms. Resealable, snap-back lid prevents drying.

References, Citations and Claims

  • Wipe material is plastic-free (packaging made of plastic: canister, soft-pack, bucket, refill bag), and is a USDA Certified Biobased Product (wipe material is 96% biobased). EPA Reg. No. 1677-263. Kills 40+ organisms in 60 seconds, and kills C. auris and T. interdigitale in 75 seconds (refer to label for organism listing). Biobased claim does not imply the safety of the product. Users must read and follow all label and use instructions.
  • Internal tests show that Ecolab's DDBSA-based wipe (6 x 13") provides greater wet surface area coverage compared to the market-leading alcohol-based healthcare disinfectant wipes (7.5 x 15").
  • Internal tests showed that disinfecting the top of a hospital mattress (35 x 80 x 7"), according to the EPA-registered wet contact time, required an average of 1.25 Ecolab wipes (6 x 13") (1-min contact), whereas the market leader's alcohol-based healthcare disinfectant wipes (7.5 x 15") required an average of 2.25 wipes for their 1-min contact product and 4 wipes for their 2-min contact product. Based on that testing and a 4-week study in an ambulatory surgery center in Minnesota, Ecolab’s wipe may reduce wipe usage up to 33% vs. the same market leader’s 1-min wipe and up to 50% vs. their 2-min wipe. Your results and dry times will vary based on temperature, humidity, air flow, and adherence to product use instructions. Mattress is a hard, non-porous surface.
  • Healthcare technician quotes are derived from blinded healthcare worker research conducted in two geographies in 2025. Healthcare workers were compensated for their time, but did not know that Ecolab was the study's sponsor. Brand labels were hidden or removed from packaging during the testing.
  • Operating Room research was conducted over 4 weeks in the OR of North Memorial Ambulatory Surgery Center demonstrated a 60% reduction in wipes used when compared to the market leading alcohol-based healthcare disinfectant wipe. Actual results will vary based on operating conditions. Ecolab research available upon request.
  • Of the total plastic produced by filled disinfecting wipe canisters, 58% comes from the wipe. Calculations and reductions based on a 6” x 6.75” wipe, with 34 gsm substrate, 160 wipes per canister and a combined canister lid mass of 100g. Of the total plastic produced from disinfecting wipe XL refill bags, 94% comes from the wipe. Calculation and reduction of up to 97% is based on comparison to a commercially available refill bag with XL plastic-wipe: 11" x 12” size wipe, with 34 gsm substrate, 160 wipes/refill bag, bag mass of 30 g.
  • Plastic wipes encircling the globe calculations are based on DRG 2023 healthcare disinfecting wipes sales data at the individual SKU level. Multiplying the total wipes sold by SKU x the wipe length of the individual SKUs. Divided the total length by the circumference of the earth.
