Disposable wipes with peracetic acid treatment agent
A disposable, single-use wipe that can be used deodorize, disinfect, and/or sterilize an object. A holder may be used to create or energize one or more treatment agent in a wipe to improve its efficacy. A wipe includes a flexible membrane or cloth-like element that may apply, distribute, and/or remove a treatment agent to, over, or from a surface of the object. An enhanced treatment agent, such as peracetic acid, may be applied to the surface subsequent to being formed in the wipe as a result of installation of the wipe onto a holder, or otherwise activating the wipe. A holder may include a rechargeable reservoir to contain and apply a synergistic treatment agent to the wipe to create the enhanced treatment agent.
1. An apparatus, comprising
a dispenser comprising a first chamber and a second chamber;
a plurality of damp first substrates disposed in said first chamber, each first substrate comprising a flexible membrane carrying Hydrogen peroxide and being removable from said first chamber;
a plurality of second substrates disposed in said second chamber, each second substrate comprising a flexible membrane carrying acetic or glycolic acid and being removable from said second chamber; wherein
said dispenser is structured to facilitate simultaneous dispensation of substrates from said first compartment and said second compartment by a user to produce successive sets of juxtaposed first and second substrates and automatically form a disposable wipe that produces peracetic acid at the time and place of combination of a pair of substrates to permit use of the wipe to clean, deodorize, disinfect, or sterilize a surface of an object.
