Frequently Asked Questions:

Baby wipes are primarily composed of mild cleansing lotions that are tested for their sensitivity on delicate skin. De-Wipe decontamination wipes are engineered to eliminate the carcinogenic toxins you can’t see.

Ask yourself: are the cancerous hydrocarbons and chlorinated dioxins produced from burning plastic an everyday pollutant? A wipe that is specifically formulated to deal with these pollutants is required.

Our scientific study conducted with leading toxicology professors at Manchester Metropolitan University found that De-Wipe removes a significant 70% more cancer-inducing pollutants than baby wipes. Read more about why you should Wipe It Off, Don’t Take it Home with De-Wipe instead of baby wipes.  

Through working with our team of senior toxicology professors at Manchester Metropolitan University, we are able to conclude that De-Wipe is scientifically proven to remove the most harmful chlorinated dioxins and toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from skin. 

Associate Director of the Ecology & Environment Research Centre at Manchester Metropolitan University Dr David Megson said: “The one thing we can say positively now that De-Wipe are effectively removing pollutants from a variety of different surfaces and were able to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and were able to remove dioxins.”

“We decided to purchase DeWipe following evaluations and trials and found the product provided good removal of varied contaminates and were of different sizes which met our requirements.

Pricing was very competitive and the product was available in the quantities we required.

It was important to have a supplier that was trusted and could provide stock when required.

To meet our requirements our Doctor in Occupational Health along with our Health Safety department required evidential documentation to comply with certain elements which were readily available.”

Ruth Baller-Wilson Watch Manager at Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service has this glowing report:

MFRS have been using De-wipe for a number of months now and feedback is positive. With increasing knowledge of firefighter safety regarding contaminants, it is vital that firefighters are able to sufficiently remove the products of combustion at their earliest opportunity.

The De-Wipe is perfect for this task; large, moist, and strong.  1 wipe is generally sufficient to clean face, neck and hands.

They don’t leave any residue behind and have a fresh scent.”

The wipes come in different sizes and quantities which gives us flexibility for storage and use, the delivery and explanation of design was excellent, they clean really well and leave a fresh scent after use.”

De-Wipe is scientifically proven to remove the most toxic and waterborne contaminants from skin. Read the positive results of our scientific study.

De-Wipe is not a cure for COVID-19; however, our wipes contain ingredients with anti-viral properties – including chemical formula C6H8O7. Other ingredients are ‘soap-like’ chemicals known as ‘surfactants’. Surfactants disturb a virus’ structure helps against the virus spreading.

Public Health England guidance suggested via the NHS is to wash hands with soap and water in order to contain the spreading of the virus. De-Wipe contains a mixture of solvents, soaps and water together with other active anti-viral ingredients that enable our wipes to be used as a source of contamination control and general hygiene where soap and water aren’t available.

De-Wipe is also kind on your skin having been independently (DermoTest) and clinically tested receiving a “Excellent” rating. Read the study.
