When to seek medical assistance
PDI Sani-Cloth® AF Wipes have been specifically formulated for use on non-invasive medical devices and non-porous hard surfaces. However, while they are effective and essential for maintaining hygiene, there are certain precautions to be mindful of:
- Skin Contact: The quaternary ammonium compound in the wipes can cause skin irritation, especially with prolonged or repeated exposure. If you experience redness, itching, or any other signs of skin irritation after using the wipes, it's essential to rinse the area thoroughly with water. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
- Eye Exposure: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of accidental exposure, rinse the eyes immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
- Ingestion: If someone accidentally ingests contents from the wipes or its solution, contact a medical professional immediately.
- Respiratory Concerns: These wipes are alcohol-free, making them suitable for environments where people are sensitive to alcohol, such as children and those with respiratory difficulties. However, always ensure that the area is well-ventilated when using any disinfectant product. If anyone experiences breathing difficulties or other respiratory concerns after exposure to the wipes, seek medical attention immediately.
For detailed product specifics, always refer to the PDI Sani-Cloth® AF Wipes data sheet. In case of any doubts or health concerns, consult a healthcare professional promptly. Remember, while these wipes are potent disinfectants, they are not intended for internal use or direct prolonged skin contact.

PDI is one of the most reliable brands in infection control. As such, their cleaning wipes are used throughout NHS facilities in the UK, endorsed by hospitals and GP surgeries as well as dental clinics, vets, and many other businesses that need to maintain hygienic environments.

Alcohol-free Wipes vs Alcohol-Based Wipes
These alcohol-free disinfectant wipes can be used everywhere that alcohol-based wipes are used. They also have some benefits wipes alcohol-based disinfectants do not.
The antiseptic wipes’ alcohol-free solution is not only non-flammable but much more gentle on the skin; it will not dry out the skin like alcohol and won’t sting if in contact with cuts. Quat-based alcohol wipes can be used as an alternative to alcohol wipes where exposure to alcohol and its fumes could be dangerous.

Frequently Asked Questions
PDI Sani-Cloth® AF wipes have been tested to be effective against enveloped viruses, including coronavirus strains, with a contact time of 15 seconds.
Sani-Cloth AF® wipes are disposable towelettes impregnated with a 2-in-1 cleaning and disinfecting solution that kills a broad spectrum of potentially infectious agents, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and TB.
Sani-Cloth® AF sanitising wipes are suitable for use on non-porous surfaces and non-invasive medical devices such as blood pressure monitors. Their broad-spectrum disinfectant and gentle detergent mean they can be used on many materials.
Find out what Sani-Cloth® AF wipes are in more detail in our blog.
PDI Sani-Cloth AF wipes have been tested according to the EN14476 method and accredited by a third party to be effective against the coronavirus strain that causes Covid-19. PDI Sani-Cloth® AF wipes can kill Covid-19 with a contact time of 15 seconds.
PDI alcohol-free medical wipes can be used in many places alcohol wipes cannot. The active ingredient in PDI alcohol-free antibacterial wipes is a quaternary ammonium compound called didecyldimethylammonium chloride 0.450%w/w. This is just one active ingredient that Sani-Cloth® AF wipes can contain. Find out more about what the wipes contain in our blog and why we prefer quaternary ammonium-based wipes.
PDI alcohol-free sanitising wipes are 2-step wipes that can be used to both clean and disinfect surfaces in one go. This means cutting down on the time it takes to clean and then disinfect. However, if there is visible soiling on the surface you intend to disinfect, this must be removed first.
Visible dirt presents a physical barrier between the disinfectant and the surface that needs to be decontaminated, meaning the disinfectant will not be effective. Ensure surfaces are inspected before disinfecting them and remove visible debris beforehand.
Alcohol-free cleansing wipes can be used to do this, but you will need to use a new, clean wipe to carry out the disinfecting step afterwards.
PDI San-Cloth® AF wipes come in many different sizes and container designs to suit different cleaning procedures and environments. We also stock these products in different sizes depending on how often you need to clean:
- 40 Wipes - Flow Wrap
- 100 Wipes - Flow Wrap
- 200 Wipes - Flow Wrap
- 200 Wipes - Canister
- 225 Wipes - Bucket
Contact time is the time needed for the disinfectant to take effect. No disinfection is instant. It takes time for the active ingredient to kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, and TB. Due to the structure of different microorganisms, disinfectant takes a longer or shorter amount of time to work.
PDI Sani-Cloth® AF wipes can kill enveloped viruses like Covid-19, HIV and hepatitis B or C in just 15 seconds, but it takes longer for the disinfectant to work on other potentially infectious agents, for example, TB, which needs a contact time of 120 seconds.
It’s important to be aware of contact times because the wipes will be less effective if their solution isn't present on the surface for the full contact time. If the surface dries before the contact time is up, use extra wipes to ensure it is wet for the full contact time.
Disposables like PDI Sani-Cloth® AF wipes make cleaning processes more efficient, hygienic, and safer than using alternatives like sprays and solutions. Swapping out Sani-Cloth® AF wipes for other traditional cleaners can:
- Minimise the risk of human error when making up cleaning solutions from concentrated products. Minimise the time taken to mix up cleaning solutions from concentrated products.
- Speed up cleaning procedures by removing the step of mixing products, spraying, and rinsing surfaces.
- Optimise hygiene through single-use wipes, rather than reusable cloths.
- Ensure excellent hygiene by using containers that keep unused wipes clean.
Sani-Cloth® AF wipes shouldn’t be used where exposure to quaternary ammonium is dangerous. It’s also important to use chlorine bleach-based disinfectant wipes like PDI Sani-Cloth® Chlor where you need to kill spores, as quat and alcohol-based wipes will not be effective.
Use PDI Sani-Cloth® AF wipes as an alternative to disinfectant sprays, concentrated solutions, and other pre-dosed wipe products. PDI Sani-Cloth® AF wipes are thoroughly tested to be highly effective with a fast contact time.
Make sure that PDI Sani-Cloth® AF wipes are effective against the microorganisms you target with your current cleaning products before making a switch. Remember that Sani-Cloth® AF wipes cannot kill spores, so you need a chlorine bleach-based wipe for that purpose.
Sani-Cloth® AF wipes should not be used on the skin as a detergent or disinfectant. The quaternary ammonium active in the solution can cause redness and irritation if overused on the skin. You should also keep it away from delicate areas such as the eye under all circumstances. There are many alternatives for cleaning and disinfecting skin that won’t cause irritation. We recommend:
As their name indicates, alcohol-free cleansing wipes use is wide-ranging. PDI Sani-Cloth® AF Wipes are NHS approved as well as other brands such as Clinell Universal Wipes for use in healthcare environments. They are commonly used in hospitals, care homes, dental clinics, veterinary clinics, and more.
But they are also used in other businesses that need to maintain excellent levels of hygiene, such as tattoo shops, beauty parlours, and schools. Find out more about where Sani-Cloth® AF wipes can be used.
PDI alcohol-free moist wipes are ergonomically designed to be easy to transport, store, and use. When following best hygiene practices, minimal contact should be made in the steps between extracting a wipe and using it.
For that reason, we offer brackets for both the canister and the wrap pack designed by PDI specifically for this product with matching green for easy identification. The brackets can be mounted onto a wall, pole, or any other sturdy surface, holding the wipes in place to make extraction easy.
Residual liquid in empty containers and packets should not be poured away, instead soak the remaining solution up with dry tissues and dispose of the used containers in your recycling bin or general waste.
Dispose of used wipes into your clinical waste bin as they may be contaminated with potentially infectious material.
