To expand our surface category options, GOJO has launched new PURELL® Surface Wipes which deliver the unprecedented combination of powerful efficacy and peace of mind. The portfolio of PURELL® Surface Wipes are category IV, the EPA's lowest allowable toxicity rating, have no harsh fumes or toxic chemicals, and do not require gloves, handwashing, or rinsing after use - even on food-contact surfaces. They quickly kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses – including cold and flu, norovirus, strep, Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, whooping cough, MRSA, VRE, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). PURELL® Professional Surface Disinfecting Wipes and PURELL® Foodservice Surface Sanitizing Wipes are available now from your GOJO distributor.

Keep PURELL® Surface Wipes near high-touch surfaces where frequent and fast disinfection of hard surfaces are needed with the use of the associated dispensing stand and wall bracket. Use them alongside PURELL® Sanitizing and Disinfecting Spray, which is ideal for daily disinfection of hard or soft surfaces where broader coverage is needed.

Why should surfaces be disinfected regularly?

Targeted disinfection of frequently touched surfaces is important as we live through a pandemic and in a new normal post-pandemic. High-touch surfaces, such as door handles, checkout areas, menus, desks, and coffee pot handles, are major reservoirs for microorganisms that can make you sick. Regular touchpoint disinfection is a simple, proactive measure shown to help reduce cross contamination of significant pathogens, such as norovirus 1 and viruses that cause the flu.2

Wipes for every business setting:

PURELL® Professional Surface Disinfecting Wipes are ideal for facilities that need a convenient solution to quickly disinfect the surfaces guests, students, and staff touch the most, such as:

  • K-12 Schools – desks, computers, doorknobs, drawer handles, toys
  • Colleges and Universities - student unions, residence services, dining areas, athletic facilities
  • Offices – desks, computers, phones, breakroom and conference room tables, coffee pot handles, refrigerator handles
  • Health and Fitness Facilities - locker rooms, workout areas, athletic facilities

PURELL® Foodservice Surface Sanitizing Wipes are ready to go whenever they’re needed to quickly sanitize food-contact surfaces. They meet the FDA Food Code's 60-second food-contact sanitization requirements and require no rinsing after use - even on food-contact surfaces. Maximize efficiency with the product that sanitizes, disinfects and cleans in ONE ready-to-use product. Plus, 86% of people said seeing PURELL® products left them feeling that the restaurant made food safety and cleanliness a priority.3
