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.

Advantex® single-use wipes are designed to be folded in half twice, creating eight usable sides. This folding method allows for consistent rotation and maximum efficiency. Once all sides have been used, simply discard the wipe.

The Gross Challenge

Storing used, wet toilet brushes in brush caddies (drip cups) on cleaning carts poses several concerns from a hygiene and efficiency standpoint:
  • Bacteria growth and odors: Wet brushes create a breeding ground for bacteria and unpleasant odors.
  • Cross-contamination: Storing brushes on cleaning carts alongside other tools and supplies increases the risk of transferring germs to other areas and equipment.
  • Reuse transfer: Dirty toilet brushes can harbor harmful microorganisms and bacteria. If not discarded after use, they risk spreading contamination to other patient areas.
