General purpose wipes are versatile cloths or towelettes for everyday cleaning in homes, offices, and commercial settings. They handle tasks like wiping surfaces, cleaning spills, dusting, and sanitizing. Made from paper, cloth, or non-woven fabrics, they can be dry or pre-moistened. These wipes are valued for their convenience, ease of use, and effectiveness. Controlled environment wipes on the other hand, are designed for cleanrooms, labs, and areas requiring contamination control. They are made from low-lint, non-shedding materials such as polyester or microfiber and may be sterile or have low ionic contaminants. Produced under strict quality controls to minimize contamination, they meet rigorous standards like ISO.

Both dry and wet wipes offer distinct advantages depending on the specific needs and preferences of the user. Dry wipes allow users to add their preferred type and amount of chemicals, disinfectants, or simply water, offering flexibility for different tasks while pre-moistened and ready to use wipes offer convenience for on the go cleaning and personal hygiene. Generally dry wipes are more economical than pre-moistened wipes, especially when purchased in bulk. Dry wipes can be stored for longer periods without the risk of drying out, unlike wet wipes. Wet wipes are available in various formulations, including antibacterial, disinfectant or specialty wipes for specific tasks.

Industrial wipes are absorbent, durable cleaning materials designed for use in various industrial and commercial settings. They are typically used for tasks such as cleaning machinery, wiping down surfaces, removing grease and oil, and general maintenance. Industrial wipes come in a variety of materials, including cloth, paper, and synthetic fibers, and they may be treated with specific chemicals to enhance their cleaning capabilities or to meet specific industry standards. They are valued for their strength, absorbency, and versatility in handling tough cleaning jobs.
