Description
The Metrex CaviWipes Bleach Disinfecting Towelettes anchors the Metrex infection prevention range for facilities that standardize on proven chemistry. A 1:10 bleach dilution (5.25% to 6.16% sodium hypochlorite) delivers sporicidal-level disinfection in a ready wipe.
The towelettes demonstrate effectiveness against 44 relevant microorganisms. They kill all product labeled organisms in 3 minutes, including C. diff, TB, drug resistant bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The product is proven effective against SARS-CoV-2 and qualifies for the EPA Emerging Viral Pathogens claim at all virus tiers.
