Tuffie 5 Cleaning and Disinfecting Wipes - Each
Choosing the Right Surface Cleaning Wipe from Vernacare
The key difference between TUFFIE 5 and TUFFIE Wipes lies in their intended purpose, formulation, and level of disinfection. Both products are part of Vernacare's trusted range of cleaning and disinfecting wipes, but they are designed for different applications within healthcare settings.
TUFFIE 5 Wipes
Purpose: TUFFIE 5 wipes are a combined cleaning and disinfection solution, offering a dual-action formula that cleans and disinfects in one step. They are ideal for environments where time efficiency and high-level disinfection are critical.
Disinfection Level: These are hospital-grade disinfectant wipes that provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial action, including effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
Formulation: TUFFIE 5 wipes are impregnated with a detergent/disinfectant solution that meets stringent infection control standards. They are designed for use on non-invasive medical devices and hard surfaces.
Applications: Commonly used in high-risk areas such as hospitals, clinics, and aged care facilities where infection control is a priority.
Compliance: TUFFIE 5 wipes are compliant with Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) standards for disinfectants.

TUFFIE Cleaning Wipes
Purpose: TUFFIE wipes are general-purpose cleaning wipes designed for low-level cleaning tasks. They are primarily used to remove dirt, grime, and organic matter from surfaces prior to disinfection.
Disinfection Level: Unlike TUFFIE 5, these wipes are not impregnated with a disinfectant solution. They are focused on cleaning rather than disinfecting.
Formulation: TUFFIE wipes contain a gentle detergent solution that is safe for use on a variety of surfaces, including sensitive equipment.
Applications: Ideal for routine cleaning of non-critical surfaces and equipment in healthcare environments, such as patient furniture, monitors, and other general surfaces.
Compliance: While effective for cleaning, they are not a substitute for hospital-grade disinfectant wipes when disinfection is required.
