Heat-Resistant Wipes
Heat-resistant wipes for hot equipment
Cleaning has to keep pace during service, but hot equipment makes that harder. Around coffee machines, steam wands and stoves, your team needs a wipe that stands up to heat and steam and helps protect their hands while they clean, without wearing out and needing replacing too often. Harrisons helps you choose heat-resistant wipes built for these conditions, so wiping stays safe and effective at all times.
THE RIGHT WIPE
Why heat-resistant wiping matters
Cleaning around hot equipment demands more than a standard cloth. Heat, steam and constant use can degrade some wipes, leading to more wipe use and unnecessary waste.
Plus, a steam wand left uncleaned can harbour harmful bacteria, so having a wipe that you can use with confidence on hot equipment is vital.
High-temperature cleaning
Stays effective around heat, steam and moisture without losing performance.
Hand protection
Heat resistant wipes hands safe from burns whilst wiping hot surfaces, ensuring worker safety and continued operations.
Durability
Lasts longer than a standard cloth, so fewer mid-shift swaps and better cost-in-use.
Hygiene consistency
Keeps coffee machines, steam wands and stoves up to standard throughout the shift.

RESULTS
Helping a café chain stay on top of their coffee machine hygiene
A national distributor approached Harrisons on behalf of a café chain needing a wipe to keep their coffee machines, and the steam wands in particular, clean and safe to handle. With the steam wand getting dangerously hot, staff burns were a real concern. The Chicopee® Coffee Towel was the answer: its heat resistance handled the wand safely, while its distinct colour let the chain maintain colour-coding across the rest of their operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
They’re for cleaning hot equipment, steam wands, stoves, coffee machines and the surfaces around them, often while everything’s still hot and there’s no time to wait for it to cool. You’ll see them most in cafés, restaurants and foodservice, where heat, steam and moisture are just part of the daily routine.
That’s a big part of why people use them. A heat-resistant wipe puts a barrier between your hand and the hot surface, so your team can wipe equipment down quickly without catching their fingers. It’s still sensible to take care around the hottest parts, but the right wipe makes cleaning on the go safer and more comfortable.
The Chicopee® Coffee Towel is the best way to go. This food safe wipe is heat resistant up to 250℃, capable of absorbing nine times its weight, and durable through repeated contact with heat and steam, so your team can clean machines, wands and the surfaces around them quickly and keep things hygienic even at the busiest times. Plus, its food-contact certified.
Coffee towels are made for life around espresso machines, steam wands and hot equipment. Next to a standard cloth they tend to handle heat better, soak up more and last longer, which means less replacing and steadier cleaning through the day, plus that bit of protection for your hands.
