Here is a list of the 5 most frequently asked questions  Tuffie 5 Hospital Grade Disinfectant Wipes (Tub of 225, SKU: 901SW225).

1. What pathogens are Tuffie 5 wipes effective against?

Tuffie 5 wipes provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection. They are formulated to eradicate all major pathogen groups, including:

• Viruses: Highly effective against Coronavirus (compliant with EN 14476) and Norovirus.

• Bacteria: Proven against MRSA, E. coli, and Clostridium difficile.

• Fungi and Yeasts: Effective against Candida albicans.

• Mycobacterium: Tested against Mycobacterium terrae.

2. Can Tuffie 5 wipes clean and disinfect at the same time?

Yes. Unlike standard Tuffie wipes (which only feature a gentle detergent for general cleaning), Tuffie 5 is a dual-action, 2-in-1 solution. The combination of its active biocide formulation and the mechanical action of the wipe allows it to break down organic matter, remove bio-film, and disinfect the surface in one efficient step.

3. What are the active ingredients, and do they contain alcohol or chlorine?

Tuffie 5 wipes are 100% alcohol-free and chlorine-free. Instead, they utilize a synergistic blend of four active ingredients that work together to prevent pathogen resistance:

• Chlorhexidine Digluconate

• Polyaminopropyl Biguanide

• Two Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (Quats)

Why this matters: Being alcohol- and chlorine-free means they won't damage sensitive medical equipment, damage mattress covers, or emit harsh, irritating fumes in tight patient care areas.

4. What types of surfaces and equipment can I safely use them on?

They are designed for all hard, non-porous surfaces and non-invasive medical equipment in healthcare, aged care, and clinic environments. Common applications include:

• Bed frames, side rails, and IV poles

• Commodes and hoists

• Mattresses and trolleys

• High-touch public surfaces (door handles, light switches, and push plates)

5. What makes the fabric of the wipe different from generic wipes?

The 901SW225 tub features a triple-layered, 100% polypropylene fabric with built-in embossed pockets and a microfibre core. This design works like a magnet—it physically absorbs and traps surface soil and bio-film inside the wipe rather than just pushing it around, which heavily reduces the risk of cross-contamination. It is also completely non-linting and highly absorbent.
