Most equipment manufactures advise you to use a damp cloth when cleaning their equipment.
This was no problem up until the end of last year as we used soft cloths, detergent, and hot water to clean our equipment.
We have now been moved over to a commercial pre-made wet wipe, which is meant to be suitable for use with equipment.
My concern is that these wipes are very wet and soapy and even wringing them out does little to make them less wet. When used they leave the equipment visible and touchable wet and soapy The equipment also takes time to dry especially the underneath if sat on a trolley/shelf. We never had this problem with the old method unless staff were carless.
The company recommend that the cleaned item is allowed to air dry.
Because the wipes are so wet and the kit isn't dried, I am concerned that the equipment may suffer from fluid ingress and corrosion over time.
Is this a possibility or am I worrying unnecessarily?
Has anyone used a commercial wet wipes for a long period and noticed any ingress or lack of?
Many thanks
