Guide to storage and maintenance of lint-free cleaning wipes

Proper storage and maintenance of cleanroom wipes are essential to preserve their lint-free, antistatic, and high-absorbency properties. Following best practices ensures they remain effective for sensitive cleaning tasks in laboratories, electronics manufacturing, and cleanrooms.

Key Features:

  • Lint-Free: Maintains contaminant-free surfaces by preventing fiber shedding.

  • High Absorbency: Retains liquid and residues efficiently without leaving moisture behind.

  • Durable: Strong material resists tearing during use.

  • Antistatic Properties: Reduces electrostatic discharge (ESD), protecting sensitive equipment.

Storage Guidelines:

  1. Keep Sealed: Store wipes in their original packaging to prevent dust and moisture contamination.

  2. Clean Environment: Maintain storage in a dry, temperature-controlled, and particle-free area.

  3. Avoid Sunlight and Heat: Protect wipes from exposure to sunlight and heat sources that may degrade material or solvent.

  4. Check Expiry: Ensure pre-wetted wipes are within their recommended shelf life for optimal performance.

Maintenance Guidelines:

  1. Single Use: Dispose of wipes after each cleaning task to prevent cross-contamination.

  2. Wear Gloves: Prevent oils or dirt from hands contaminating wipes or surfaces.

  3. Proper Handling: Avoid touching the wiping surface directly.

  4. Inspect Before Use: Check for damage, dryness, or contamination before application.

Application Range:

  • Laboratories: Cleaning benches, instruments, and sensitive surfaces.

  • Electronics Manufacturing: Maintaining particle-free PCBs, components, and equipment.

  • Optical Equipment: Wiping lenses, mirrors, and precision optics without streaks.

  • Cleanroom Environments: Ensuring Class 100–1000 environments remain contamination-free.
