Clinell Peracetic Acid Wipes (Sporicidal)

Ready-to-use peracetic wipes designed to support rigorous infection control on surfaces and non-invasive medical devices in clinical and healthcare environments.

Best for: Healthcare professionals requiring fast, high-level surface disinfection where spores and resistant microorganisms are a concern.

Not ideal for: Use on invasive medical devices or on skin.

• Designed for professional healthcare use
• Rapid two-minute contact time
• Pre-saturated for consistent application

What is it?

Clinell Peracetic Acid Wipes are pre-saturated disinfectant wipes formulated to provide high-level surface disinfection in environments where infection prevention is critical. 

They are designed for use on hard, non-porous surfaces and non-invasive medical devices commonly found in healthcare and clinical settings.

The wipes are supplied ready to use, removing the need for dilution, mixing or additional equipment. This helps ensure reliable application and consistent coverage during routine cleaning and disinfection tasks.

Who is it for?

These wipes are intended for healthcare professionals and trained users who are responsible for maintaining hygiene standards in clinical and treatment environments.

They are commonly used by:

• Hospital and clinic staff
• Podiatrists and foot health practitioners
• Physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals
• Community healthcare and outpatient services

The formulation is designed to support professional infection control protocols where a sporicidal solution is required.

What does it help with?

Clinell Peracetic Acid Sporicidal Wipes are designed to support surface hygiene by reducing contamination from a broad spectrum of microorganisms.

• Bacterial contamination: Supports routine surface disinfection in high-risk areas
• Viral presence: Helps maintain hygiene on frequently touched surfaces
• Fungal spores: Assists in reducing environmental contamination
• Clostridium difficile spores: Designed for environments where spore control is required

How does it work?

The wipes use a peracetic acid-based formulation that is designed to act quickly on microorganisms when applied to compatible surfaces. Once the surface is wiped and remains visibly wet for the recommended contact time, the formulation works to reduce microbial load.

The ready-to-use format helps ensure even distribution of the solution, supporting consistent results during routine cleaning protocols without relying on manual dilution accuracy.

Expected use timeline

First use: Surfaces may have a mild disinfectant odour immediately after application - which typically dissipates as the surface dries.

Short-term use (days): Suitable for repeated daily use as part of routine cleaning schedules when used as directed.

Ongoing use (weeks): Designed for continued use within established infection control protocols - supporting consistent hygiene standards over time.
