What is “Dwell Time” and Why Does it Matter?
Dwell time is the amount of time a surface must remain visibly wet with a disinfectant product for the kill claim to be achieved. If the surface dries before the required dwell time has elapsed, the disinfection is incomplete regardless of the product used. Selecting a wipe with a dwell time that matches real facility conditions is one of the most important and most frequently overlooked decisions in commercial disinfection procurement.
The Environmental Impact of Disinfecting Wipes: What Buyers Should Know
Commercial disinfecting wipes generate single-use nonwoven substrate waste that is not currently recyclable or biodegradable under standard landfill conditions in most Canadian jurisdictions. Their environmental footprint relative to liquid concentrate programs depends heavily on which alternative is used for comparison and whether the full program cost, including secondary materials, transport, and water use, is included. Buyers can meaningfully reduce the environmental impact of their wipe program through format selection, right-sizing to surface area, substrate quality optimization, and Canadian sourcing.
8 Things Facility Managers Should Look for in a Wipe Supplier
When evaluating a disinfecting wipe supplier for a commercial facility, the eight areas that matter most are: product registration and compliance documentation, manufacturing origin and supply chain transparency, product consistency and quality control, commercial account pricing structure, delivery reliability, tender and compliance documentation support, product range breadth, and the responsiveness of the supplier relationship. Price per wipe is one input in a much larger evaluation. Facilities that select on price alone typically discover the gaps in the other seven areas at the worst possible moment.
Health Canada Requirements for Commercial Disinfecting Wipes
Any disinfecting wipe used in a commercial setting in Canada must be registered with Health Canada under the Food and Drugs Act and carry a Drug Identification Number (DIN) to legally make disinfectant claims. Beyond the baseline federal requirement, specific facility types are subject to additional provincial health regulations, accreditation standards, and infection prevention and control guidelines that specify further requirements for product selection, kill claims, and disinfection protocols.
