Disinfect With Alcohol Wipes
Give your facility a quick and thorough clean using alcohol-based cleaning wipes. Our bulk alcohol wipes possess effective disinfecting capabilities so you, your staff, and your guests can stay safe from bacteria and other pathogens. Gentle on the skin, alcohol wipes can also be used to quickly disinfect hands on the job, thereby halting the spread of germs and bacteria within your facility.
Using ethyl alcohol, these wipes offer a safe and non-irritating sterilizing clean. Ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol, is a standard cleaning product used in many settings including medical facilities. Ensure your facility stays as clean as possible with convenient and easy-to-use alcohol wipes.
Zogics is pleased to carry an assortment of bulk cleaning supplies and safety gear for all types of facility needs. In addition to our highly effective alcohol cleaning wipes, we also carry wipe dispensers, refills, hand sanitizer, and more.
Benefits of Alcohol Cleaning Wipes
There are many reasons why you should have alcohol wipes on hand throughout your facility. Below, we discuss the key advantages of using alcohol cleaning wipes.
Fights Microorganisms
You’ll harness exceptional bacteria-fighting power without any harsh chemicals such as bleach. Alcohol has a pH of 7.3 making it safe to use on the skin while effectively killing off bacteria, germs, and viruses. With a 75% concentration of ethyl alcohol, our bulk alcohol wipes will keep your space purified by removing pathogens and microorganisms.
Quick Evaporation
Thanks to its low water content, 75% ethyl alcohol evaporates from surfaces extremely quickly. This means that wiping down with alcohol wipes never leaves surfaces feeling wet or sticky and doesn’t leave behind a residue. Alcohol wipes are truly the perfect tool for speedy cleaning in a pinch.
Multipurpose Cleaners
Our alcohol wipes can be used to sanitize hands, workspaces, electronics, and more. Safe on skin, most paint, and various other materials, these cleaning wipes make keeping your work areas safe a breeze. Simply pull one out and wipe down surfaces for easy and quick disinfecting.
Eco-Friendly
Another advantage of alcohol wipes is that they are a green cleaning option. Ethanol is considered an eco-friendly cleaner due to its nearly neutral pH, and the fact it quickly degrades in the presence of natural elements. In addition, our wipes are made from environmentally friendly and biodegradable materials so this product doesn’t end up causing a bigger mess than the ones it's designed to clean up.
Ingredients Used in Our Wipes
Each of our alcohol cleaning wipe products is made using 75% ethyl alcohol. This concentration of alcohol will remove soil and dirt with ease while killing 99.9% of germs on surfaces, skin, electronics, and more. Our only other ingredient is water, meaning these products are verified allergen and fragrance-free.
Ethyl Alcohol vs. Isopropyl Alcohol vs. Rubbing Alcohol
As it turns out, there are different types of cleaning alcohol and each one has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Our bulk alcohol wipes use only ethyl alcohol which is generally considered safer for consumers. With that said, however, let’s discuss why you might want to use different types of alcohol as well.
Ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol have a similar chemical structure, however, isopropyl alcohol contains additional carbon and hydrogen atoms. Ethyl alcohol is also known as ethanol and this is the same substance found in alcoholic drinks. In contrast, isopropyl alcohol will not make you intoxicated but instead will make you very sick.
Isopropyl alcohol tends to evaporate quicker than ethanol which can make it less effective at killing germs since it doesn't stick around for a sufficient amount of time. On the other hand, though, it's a favored cleaner for electronics for this exact same reason.
Rubbing alcohol is simply watered down isopropyl alcohol. You’ll often find this type of alcohol used as an antiseptic in first aid kits.
Effectiveness of Alcohol Wipes
As long as the concentration is around 70-75% alcohol, alcohol wipes are just as effective as popular cleaning brands like Lysol and Clorox when it comes to disinfecting surfaces. In fact, alcohol-based cleaners are even more gentle on the skin and environment making them an all-around safer option.
Alcohol-based cleaners can kill many viruses, germs, and pathogens including COVID-19. By regularly wiping down your facility’s surfaces, workspaces, and tools, you ensure your workers and guests are in a safe and clean environment at all times. Better yet, alcohol wipes are generally inexpensive, easy to find, and offer a convenient means to keep places sanitary.
When Not to Use Alcohol Wipes
Although we’ve discussed many of the advantages of using alcohol cleaning wipes, there are some surfaces and areas they just shouldn’t be used on. For example, certain specialty varnishes and finishes may dissolve in the presence of alcohol. That’s because alcohol is a powerful solvent that can easily break down certain coatings and compounds.
Alcohol can be used to sterilize first aid tools but it should never be poured directly on a serious wound. Instead, rinse any cuts, scrapes, and other wounds with water to effectively clean out the area.
In addition, you should avoid using alcohol-based cleaners on certain types of wood and paint. You’ll also want to steer clear of hot surfaces and anything that ignites due to ethyl alcohol being an extremely flammable agent.
Safe Storage Practices
Store your wipes between 15-30 degrees Celsius (59-86 Fahrenheit) to ensure your bulk wipes last. Also, please note that ethanol is highly flammable so make sure you store the wipes far away from any open flames.

For those looking for some of the best disinfectant cleaners available, we recommend an alcohol-based cleaner such as our alcohol surface wipes. These bulk wipes offer superior germ-killing power while also being gentle on the skin and the environment. Read on to learn more about Zogics’ premium alcohol-based cleaning products.
1. What is an alcohol-based wipe?
Alcohol wipes are typically cotton or paper-based tissues soaked in alcohol and used for disinfecting surfaces, objects, and even hands. These alcohol cleaning wipes will come in a closed container so they don’t dry out and are ready to use immediately making cleanup quick and efficient. Thanks to being free of many harsh chemicals, alcohol wipes can be disposed of with regular household waste and are non-irritating on the skin.
2. What are alcohol wipes used for?
Alcohol wipes are used to disinfect surfaces and other objects. They can also be used for a quick clean-up of grime, dirt, or spills. These wipes are most effective when used regularly, especially in high-traffic areas. Light-weight, safe on the skin, and easy to use, alcohol-based cleaning wipes are a convenient way to clean surfaces and keep your surroundings safe and sterilized.
3. Are alcohol wipes safe to use on the skin?
Yes, alcohol wipes are safe on skin and our 75% ethyl alcohol wipes won’t cause any irritation or redness. For some, alcohol can be drying on the skin so make sure to moisturize after use and try not to clean yourself with alcohol excessively. In the case that you must clean with alcohol regularly, you can minimize dryness by using disposable gloves.
4. Is isopropyl alcohol the same as what’s used in alcohol wipes?
Isopropyl alcohol is typically found in hand sanitizers and other sanitizing agents. It’s also an active ingredient in rubbing alcohol. Our wipes however contain ethyl alcohol, a chemical that’s molecularly related to isopropyl alcohol but less toxic and less fast-drying. The reason we prefer ethyl alcohol for our wipes is primarily due to the fact it disinfects surfaces more adequately due to its slower evaporation rate. This in turn ensures that the pathogens that come in contact with the alcohol are exposed to it long enough to be killed or deactivated. Ethyl alcohol wipes are also safe for skin and eco-friendly.
5. Do alcohol cleaning wipes contain rubbing alcohol?
Some brands may use rubbing alcohol in their wipes, however, at Zogics all of our wipes use ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol doesn’t evaporate as quickly, making it a somewhat stronger microorganism killer. In addition, ethyl alcohol is more effective at killing certain classes of viruses such as nonenveloped viruses.
Both rubbing alcohol and ethyl alcohol are effective disinfecting cleaners, however, they each have different advantages and capabilities which leads to us choosing ethyl alcohol for the purpose of our wipes.
6. Are alcohol wipes antibacterial?
Yes, our alcohol wipes are considered antibacterial for up to 99.9% of common bacteria found on surfaces. Ethyl alcohol, the active ingredient in our wipes’ cleaning solution, kills bacteria by dissolving their cells. This makes them harmless to us most of the time. By wiping down surfaces and hands frequently, you can minimize bacterial spread and keep your facility safe and sanitary.
7. Can alcohol cleaning wipes kill COVID-19?
Yes, alcohol solutions of at least a 70% concentration are effective at destabilizing the COVID-19 virus. Some cleaners don’t work as well on viruses as they do on living bacteria, so it's important you know exactly what your cleaners can do so that you get the most out of them. Fortunately for our customers, ethyl alcohol deactivates the COVID-19 virus particles making them unable to infect our bodies. This is why regularly sanitizing your hands and workspaces is so important during the pandemic.
8. Are alcohol wipes safe for the environment?
Ethyl alcohol wipes offer effective cleaning and disinfecting abilities without using any harsh chemicals. This makes using this solvent an eco-friendly choice compared to many other cleaning agents. Better yet, ethyl alcohol does not break down into any toxic substances and is safe to flush and pour down the drain.
9. Do you offer bulk pricing?
As a trusted cleaning supply wholesaler, Zogics offers some of the best pricing on bulk alcohol wipes. The more you buy, the bigger the discount so stock up on these vital cleaning wipes to keep your facility equipped for months on end.
