In addition, the container reduces the need for remixing new batches of cleaning solutions because the system is stable for an extended period of time.


The container can hold KimTech prep wipes for bleach, disinfectants and sanitizers, which are designed for surface sanitation in health care facilities and other areas where cross-contamination of germs is possible.
