Klinomed wipes by Klintensiv are impregnated with a 85% ethanol-based solution and are ready to use, in a tube of 120 pieces. They are designed for the rapid disinfection of surfaces and equipment in environments with contamination risk — from medical offices to salons — making them suitable for the hygiene routine in a tattoo or piercing studio. They require no dilution or rinsing and, according to the manufacturer, leave no stains or residues.
Can I use these wipes to disinfect the client's skin before tattooing?▾
No. Klinomed Wipes are a professional surface and equipment disinfectant, not a skin antiseptic. To prepare the tattoo area, use a product specifically intended for the skin; use these wipes for the work surface, armrest, chair, and other surfaces around the station.
Do I need to rinse or wipe the surface after using the wipe?▾
No. The product is ready to use and, according to the manufacturer, does not require rinsing and leaves no residue, stains, or discoloration. Wipe the surface, allow it to dry on its own, and you can work on it as soon as it is dry.
Does it work on surfaces with blood or other organic residues?▾
The manufacturer indicates demonstrated effectiveness even in the presence of organic matter such as blood. As a good studio practice, however, first remove any visible excess dirt (with a separate wipe), then disinfect with a clean wipe — this ensures the solution reaches the surface completely and acts effectively.
Can I wipe the tattoo machine, grip, or clip cord with them?▾
Yes, for external surfaces of equipment — the manufacturer recommends them specifically for disinfecting equipment, and in a studio that means the machine body, clip cord, or power supply, ideally combined with disposable barriers. However, note that parts that come into contact with broken skin (reusable grips, tips) are not 'cleaned' with wipes alone — they must be sterilized (e.g., in an autoclave) or replaced with disposable versions. Wipes disinfect, they do not sterilize.
How should I store the wipes so they don't dry out in the tube?▾
Close the lid immediately after removing each wipe — alcohol evaporates quickly if the tube is left open, and a dry wipe is no longer effective for disinfection. Store the tube closed at room temperature, away from heat sources and direct sunlight, and use the contents at a normal working pace; with 120 pieces per tube, one tube at the work station comfortably covers the daily routine.
How do these wipes differ from a regular disinfectant spray?▾
They essentially do the same job, but in a ready-to-use format: no need for a spray bottle, dilution, or separate cloths, and the dosage is consistent — each wipe is pre-impregnated with the 85% ethanol solution. They are convenient especially between clients when you want a quick station disinfection without spraying liquid around equipment and outlets. For very large surfaces, a liquid disinfectant in bulk may be more economical, and the two formats complement each other well.
