sage Guidelines

Pre-clean: Use a wipe to remove visible debris from the surface.
Disinfect: Use a fresh wipe to thoroughly wet the pre-cleaned surface.
Wait Time: Ensure the surface remains visibly wet for the required time (typically 2-3 minutes).
Air Dry: Allow the surface to air dry.
Storage: Keep the canister lid tightly closed to prevent the wipes from drying out

The surface must remain visibly wet for the entire duration specified to ensure full disinfection:
CaviWipes (Standard): 2 minutes for most viruses (including SARS-CoV-2, HIV-1, HBV, HCV) and 3 minutes for TB and bacteria.

CaviWipes are a two-step product for disinfection:
Clean: Use one wipe to remove visible soil and organic matter from the surface.
Disinfect: Use a second fresh wipe to thoroughly wet the surface and let it air dry for the full contact time.

Standard/1/2.0: Wearing gloves (nitrile or butyl rubber) is recommended to prevent skin irritation or dryness.

The wipes typically remain effective for up to 30 days after opening, provided the lid is kept tightly sealed to prevent the solution from evaporating

No. Used wipes should be disposed of in the regular trash and should never be flushed into the sewer system

es, they are generally safe for hard surfaces on tablets or phones, but you should never saturate the device. Check the manufacturer's cleaning guide first; for very sensitive screens, a dedicated electronics cleaner is safer.

It is a common misconception that hospital-grade means "pet-safe." CaviWipes should never be used to wipe down pets; if a surface is cleaned, it must be completely dry before a pet touches it.

While safe for surfaces, the liquid in CaviWipes is considered toxic to aquatic environments. Metrex advises against releasing any excess liquid into the environment or disposing of it near water systems.
