What are the precautions for CHG disinfectant wipes?

The following are the precautions for using CHG disinfectant wipes:

In terms of usage safety

1. Avoid contact with sensitive areas
   Although CHG disinfectant wipes are relatively safe, it is still necessary to avoid contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes, mouth, and nasal mucosa. Because the disinfection ingredients may irritate these sensitive areas and cause discomfort. If accidental contact occurs with the eyes or other such areas, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water and consider seeking medical help according to the specific situation.
2. Use in a well-ventilated environment
   Although the odor of these wipes is relatively mild, it is advisable to ensure that the environment is well-ventilated when using them. This can further reduce possible odor residues and is also beneficial to the health of users, especially when used in relatively enclosed spaces.
3. Correct wiping methods
   When wiping electronic devices, turn off the power of the devices first. This is to prevent accidental short circuits and other situations. Also, avoid getting the moisture on the wipes into the internal parts of the devices, as the internal components of electronic devices may be damaged by moisture. For surfaces with special coatings or that are easily scratched, wipe gently to prevent damage to the surfaces.
4. Pay attention to personal protection
   If there are wounds on your hands, it is recommended to wear gloves when using the wipes to avoid the disinfection ingredients irritating the wounds or causing infections.

In terms of product storage

1. Appropriate storage environment
   CHG disinfectant wipes should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. High temperatures may cause the moisture in the wipes to evaporate too quickly, affecting their disinfection effect. Meanwhile, a high-temperature environment may also accelerate the decomposition of the disinfection ingredients and reduce their sterilization ability. For example, don’t place them on a windowsill exposed to direct sunlight or near heat sources such as heaters or stoves.
2. Keep away from flammable materials and children
   Keep them away from fire sources and flammable items, because some disinfectant wipes may contain flammable ingredients like alcohol, to prevent fire hazards. At the same time, keep them out of the reach of children to avoid children ingesting or misusing them, as the disinfection ingredients may harm children.

In terms of product usage

1. Follow the instructions
   Different brands and models of CHG disinfectant wipes may have slightly different ingredients, concentrations, and usage methods. It is essential to carefully read the product instructions before use and operate according to the recommended usage methods (such as the wiping force, time, etc.) and the number of wipes used. Only in this way can the best disinfection effect be ensured, and waste or potential safety problems caused by overuse or improper use can be avoided.
2. Test for suitability
   Before use, test on a small, inconspicuous area first to observe whether it will cause damage or discoloration to the wiped surface. Some surfaces made of special materials, such as silk, leather, and the screens of some electronic devices, may not be suitable for direct wiping with CHG disinfectant wipes to avoid irreversible damage. For example, some disinfectant wipes may dry out or fade the leather surface or leave wiping marks on the electronic screen.
