Knowing the history of the products you use is fun; recognizing their benefits to your business and ultimately your bottom line is key. And, spunlace wipes are really valuable.
Originally used in medical supplies, especially disposable patient gowns and curtains, these fabrics are soft, low-fuzz, and absorb blood-resistant coatings to protect operating room doctors and nurses from HIV. As a result, the spunlace non-woven wiper industry came into being.
Over time, more and more businesses have recognized their benefits, including their incredible cost-effectiveness. Because they are lighter than other similar woven products, you get more wipes per pound. And, great value for money. That said, just because they cost less doesn't mean you need to sacrifice quality, they're essentially lint-free, soft, solvent-resistant, and sturdy when used wet or dry. Because they are so cost-effective, most end users throw them away and just use new wipes for each job. This provides the added benefit of a completely clean start-up for every task, keeping the machine and surfaces free of unwanted deposits.
