Advantex^® 1/4 Folded Wipe

Achieve superior surface disinfection with the Advantex® 1/4 Folded Wipe. Made from 70 GSM hydroentangled synthetic microfibers, these wipes are strong, highly absorbent, and designed for maximum solution release. Compatible with all disinfectant solutions, they deliver reliable performance in a convenient single-use format.

For effective cleaning, microfiber cloths should be folded in half until they are approximately the size of your hand, ensuring full use of the surface area.
