At De-Wipe, we understand the risks of occupational cancers in a number of industries. Our range of wipes are scientifically proven to effectively remove harmful toxins and chemicals from the skin, and are scientifically formulated with key ingredients to defend against harmful dioxins and pollutants that many foundry workers are exposed to. During trials conducted by Manchester Metropolitan University in 2019, De-Wipes were tested for efficacy in controlled laboratory tests. The ground-breaking study focused on the 8 most hazardous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) including Benzo(a)pyrene. The results indicated that De-Wipe is capable of removing these toxic PAHs- including an amount greater than 91% of Benzo(a)pyrene after skin exposure.
Our wipes can be used on equipment and skin to effectively remove harmful chemicals from the workplace. Dermatologically tested, they are suitable for the use on the hands, face, ears and areas around the neck and throat.
De-Wipes come in a range of convenient packs, such as single individual wipes and multipacks containing 40 wipes (available in 30x20cm or larger 60x30cm). These multipacks are resealable to maintain their freshness and effectiveness and are small enough to become a part of your factory’s decontamination process.
To better protect your workers and yourself, the introduction a simple, cost effective, sustainable, environmentally friendly, and scientifically proven product range from De-Wipe as part of your decontamination process is certainly a step in the right direction. Let us help you protect your organisation, workers and their families from contaminants- ‘Don’t Take it Home’.
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 and not 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.”
Yes of course. Our wipes are developed for skin but they can be used on kit without harming it or leaving any residue.

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.”

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. Our wipe’s 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 Alcohol Free Sanitiser Wipes are anti-bacterial and anti-viral as confirmed in their conformity to BS EN 1276 & BS EN 14476. They’re more effective when compared to alcohol wipes as they have a slower evaporation rate (and obviously, they’re better for your skin and equipment).
With regards to COVID-19 strain, there is currently nothing on the market to say it can kill COVID-19 but our wipes contain anti-viral ingredients and can kill coronaviruses.
We have carried out our own tests on all known germs and the De-Wipe Alcohol Free Sanitiser wipes are able to remove >99.999% of E. coli and K. pneumonia, and of S. aureus (3 of the most harmful and widespread bacterias).
As soon as any lab can get hold of COVID-19 strain, we will of course be testing for this also.
