At present, disinfection wipes are mainly divided into two categories. One is that they have been disinfected, but do not have the function of disinfecting other items. Wiping your hands with this wet towel does not kill the bacteria on your hands. The other type of wet wipes not only have been disinfected, but also contain disinfection ingredients, which also have a certain disinfection effect on other items. However, generally speaking, the disinfection effect is limited and can only be used for simple cleaning.
In fact, whether the disinfectant wipes can play the role of disinfection and sterilization mainly depends on its disinfection ingredients and content. The common disinfection ingredients of disinfection wipes include chlorhexidine acetate, benzalkonium bromide, benzalkonium chloride, etc. However, there are not many studies on the disinfection effect of wet wipes at present, and it is difficult to make a conclusion whether its disinfection and sterilization effect is accurate.
Therefore, people should pay attention to whether the wet wipes have been approved by the health department. In addition, it must be checked whether it is within the warranty period before use. Because the wet wipes with disinfection effect exceed the shelf life, their disinfection and sterilization effect will be reduced.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that in order to avoid the disease from entering by mouth, it is the simplest and most effective way to master the correct hand washing method, and use flowing tap water and soap to wash your hands.
