THE RIGHT WIPE MATTERS

In busy environments, cleaning products need to work first time. When they don't, the cost shows up in ways that are easy to miss:
REQUEST PRODUCT SAMPLES

FINDING THE RIGHT WIPE
How our wipes have helped businesses set better hygiene standards
The right wipe can improve cleaning performance, reduce waste and lower overall cost-in-use. Harrisons supplies hygiene wipes across a wide range of industries and environments.
15% saving for a 700-bed NHS Trust: helping an NHS facilities management team cut costs without compromising performance.
A 700-bed NHS Trust’s facilities management team had used the same colour coded wipes for years. As part of a product review, they wanted to see whether a like-for-like alternative could cut costs while giving cleaning teams the performance they needed. Working with the Trust’s janitorial supplier, Harrisons set up a controlled trial. Feedback was positive, with teams reporting better durability and cleaning performance. The FM team switched and achieved a 15% saving, with no disruption and dedicated stockholding to support supply.
Helping a baked goods manufacturer improve site hygiene
A leading baked goods manufacturer wanted to improve its site hygiene processes, reduce downtime and cut costs. Harrisons carried out a site survey and recommended food-contact safe, colour coded wipes with the absorption capacity necessary for the large volumes of liquid involved in their cleaning process. After making the switch, they reduced their wiping costs by 10% and significantly sped up their cleaning process.
Plastic-free, without compromise
A major UK pub chain came to Harrisons looking to reduce plastic across their operations without sacrificing supply security, food safety or performance. With colour coding crucial to their hygiene processes, they trialled our Compostable Wipe. It delivered on every front. Harrisons now holds 12 weeks of stock to guarantee supply, with the wipe used across their sites nationally.

QUALITY ASSURED
Created for hygiene, backed by science
To choose the best wipes for the Hygiene Range, we started with how wipes are used in real hygiene environments.
We looked at what matters most to hygiene teams: antibacterial efficacy, wet and dry strength, and lint-free performance.
These tests helped us identify the most effective materials, structures and designs behind the range — giving customers a practical way to choose wipes based on performance, not guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
They’re a simple way to keep cleaning tasks separated: each colour is assigned to a specific area or task, so nothing gets carried from one place to another and cross-contamination stays down.

It depends on the task, and that’s where we can help. The Hygiene Range covers colour coded cloths, wet wipes, compostable wipes and reusable products, all suited to restaurants, hotels, cafés and catering businesses. Tell us about your cleaning routine and we’ll happily recommend the best fit.
