PURELL Cottony Soft 62% Alcohol Hand Sanitizing Wipes, 480 Wipes/Carton (9025-12)

PURELL Cottony Soft Sanitizing Wipes are premoistened hand wipes with 62 percent ethyl alcohol to help reduce the number of germs on hands and remove light soils; and they are textured and thicker than PURELL's regular sanitizing hand wipes, and individually wrapped in tear-open packets for portability and to retain moisture. These wipes contain vitamin E and A, aloe, and moisturizers to help keep skin hydrated. The sanitizing wipes come in a branded cardboard display box to help users find them and to encourage use among employees or visitors at a location where germs are likely to be found, such as schools or office buildings.Hand sanitizers (also called hand antiseptics) are liquids, gels, or foams that help reduce the number of germs on hands when a small amount is rubbed into the skin; no rinsing with water or drying with towels is needed. In situations when soap and water are not available, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends use of an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs on hands, but do not eliminate every kind of pathogenic microorganism. Hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty. They are available in a range of sizes, from small bottles for personal use to large mounted dispensers for public or institutional use. They are also available as wipes: small, disposable paper or nonwoven towels soaked in a hand sanitizer liquid. Hand sanitizers are typically part of hand hygiene programs at health care and food processing facilities, where pathogenic microorganisms are common.GOJO Industries manufactures hygiene products, including hand washing, hand sanitizing, and skin care formulas under the GOJO, PURELL, PROVON, MICRELL, and AQUELL brands. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Akron, OH.
