Frequently Asked Questions

How often should disinfecting wipes be used in a dental office?

High-touch surfaces should be wiped down between every patient and at least twice daily for general areas, per CDC guidelines.

Can I use household disinfecting wipes in my dental practice?

No. Professional-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant wipes are required to meet clinical infection control standards.

What is the best way to ensure wipes are effective against viruses like COVID-19?

Use EPA-approved wipes, check their kill-time, and ensure surfaces remain visibly wet for the recommended contact duration.

Are there disinfecting wipes safe for use on dental instruments?

Disinfecting wipes are not intended for sterilizing critical instruments. Use online sterilization pouches or autoclave systems for instrument sterilization.
