Big Wipes Towels & Wipes

Big Wipes Towels & Wipes at Tooled-Up.com

Big Wipes has revolutionised the industrial cleaning wipes market with products specifically engineered for tradespeople working in the toughest conditions. Unlike standard cleaning wipes that struggle with industrial grime, Big Wipes are formulated to tackle the most stubborn substances including adhesives, sealants, expanding foam, paint, silicone, oil, and grease. Each wipe is manufactured from heavy-duty fabric that won't fall apart when dealing with abrasive materials or sharp debris, making them an essential addition to any professional toolkit.

The Big Wipes range available from Tooled-Up.com includes multi-purpose cleaning wipes, hand cleaning wipes, and surface cleaning solutions, all designed with tradespeople in mind. What sets Big Wipes apart is their unique four-layer fabric construction combined with powerful yet skin-safe cleaning formulations. These aren't your typical household wipes – they're professional-grade cleaning solutions that can remove substances that would normally require harsh solvents, white spirit, or time-consuming scrubbing.

Each Big Wipes product is biodegradable and contains added lanolin, aloe vera, and vitamin E to protect hands from drying and cracking – a crucial consideration for professionals who need to clean their hands multiple times throughout the working day. The oversized wipes (typically 20cm x 30cm) provide excellent coverage and allow tradespeople to clean large areas or multiple tools with a single wipe, delivering exceptional value and convenience on site.

Why Choose Big Wipes Towels & Wipes?

Big Wipes has earned its reputation as the go-to brand for industrial-strength cleaning by consistently delivering products that actually work in real-world trade environments. The brand understands that tradespeople need cleaning solutions that are fast, effective, and convenient – there's no time on a busy site for products that don't deliver immediate results.

The cleaning formulations used in Big Wipes products are powerful enough to dissolve industrial adhesives and coatings, yet gentle enough for frequent skin contact. This balance is achieved through careful formulation that avoids harsh chemicals like methanol and acetone, which can damage skin and require special handling. Big Wipes products comply with COSHH regulations and are safe for regular use without the need for additional PPE beyond normal work gloves.

Durability is another key advantage – the reinforced fabric construction means Big Wipes won't tear or disintegrate when tackling rough surfaces, sharp edges, or heavy scrubbing tasks. The resealable packaging keeps wipes fresh and moist, preventing them from drying out between uses, which is essential for mobile tradespeople moving between job sites.

Key Features of Big Wipes Towels & Wipes

Big Wipes products incorporate several innovative features that distinguish them from standard cleaning wipes:

Four-Layer Fabric Technology: The unique construction combines strength with texture, providing excellent cleaning action without scratching delicate surfaces. The reinforced fabric resists tearing even when used on rough materials like brickwork or concrete.

Advanced Cleaning Formulation: The proprietary cleaning solution effectively breaks down molecular bonds in adhesives, sealants, and coatings, allowing for effortless removal without aggressive scrubbing. This formulation works on both water-based and solvent-based substances.

Skin Conditioning Ingredients: Added lanolin, aloe vera, and vitamin E help maintain skin condition even with frequent use, preventing the dry, cracked hands that commonly result from using traditional solvents or harsh cleaners.

Oversized Design: Generously proportioned wipes (typically four times larger than standard household wipes) provide better coverage and allow for multiple cleaning tasks from a single wipe, reducing waste and improving cost-effectiveness.

Biodegradable Materials: Environmental responsibility is built into Big Wipes products, with biodegradable wipes and packaging materials that break down naturally after disposal.

Safety and Compliance

Big Wipes products are formulated with user safety and regulatory compliance as priorities. All products comply with UK COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations and are safe for skin contact without requiring specialist PPE. The formulations avoid harsh chemicals like methanol, acetone, and aggressive solvents that can cause skin irritation or require special handling procedures.

While Big Wipes are designed to be skin-safe, users should always follow basic hygiene practices. Avoid contact with eyes, and if this occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Although the wipes contain skin conditioning ingredients, users with sensitive skin or existing dermatological conditions should test on a small area first. Big Wipes are not suitable for consumption and should be kept away from children.

The biodegradable nature of Big Wipes means they break down naturally, but used wipes should still be disposed of responsibly in accordance with local waste management guidelines. When used to clean up hazardous substances, dispose of wipes according to the regulations governing that specific substance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What substances can Big Wipes remove?

Big Wipes effectively remove a comprehensive range of industrial substances including silicone sealant, expanding foam, adhesives, paint (water and solvent-based), varnish, grease, oil, bitumen, tar, flux, and general construction grime. They're particularly effective on substances that would typically require white spirit or other harsh solvents.

Are Big Wipes safe for regular skin contact?

Yes, Big Wipes are specifically formulated for frequent skin contact and include conditioning ingredients like lanolin, aloe vera, and vitamin E to protect hands. They're COSHH compliant and don't contain harsh chemicals like methanol or acetone. However, they should not be used on broken skin or open wounds.

How long do Big Wipes stay moist in the pack?

When stored properly with the lid firmly closed, Big Wipes remain moist and effective for extended periods. The resealable packaging is designed to prevent evaporation. If wipes do begin to dry out, a small amount of water can revive them, though this may slightly dilute the cleaning formulation.

Can Big Wipes be used on all surfaces?

Big Wipes are safe for use on most hard surfaces including glass, metal, plastics, painted surfaces, and sealed wood. However, always test on an inconspicuous area first when using on delicate or unusual materials. The wipes are designed to remove substances without damaging underlying surfaces.

What's the difference between the various Big Wipes products?

Big Wipes Multi-Purpose (typically orange or standard packaging) are all-rounders for hands, tools, and surfaces. Red Top wipes are optimised for heavy-duty hand cleaning with enhanced skin conditioning. Green Top wipes are formulated for surface preparation and equipment cleaning. All share the same four-layer fabric construction and oversized design.
