Description
Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes
The Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes by Quotex are soft, strong and highly absorbent disposable patient cleansing wipes designed for everyday personal hygiene, assisted washing and continence care.
Manufactured using a cellulose Airlaid blend, these premium dry washcloths provide a comfortable, cloth-like feel while offering the convenience of a disposable cleansing wipe.
Unlike conventional synthetic dry wipes, Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes use cellulose-based fibres derived from plant materials, providing a more environmentally conscious alternative for healthcare and care environments.
A key feature of the Softflex Washcloth range is its macerator-friendly construction. The wipes are specifically designed to disperse when processed through a suitable hospital or care home macerator, helping facilities manage disposable patient hygiene products within their approved waste-disposal systems.
The wipes are also highly absorbent, making them suitable for personal washing, continence care and everyday cleansing tasks where effective moisture absorption is important.
Each large wipe measures 30 x 27 cm, providing a generous surface for washing different areas of the body.
Supplied in convenient packs of 75 wipes, with 16 packs per case (1,200 wipes), Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes are a practical choice for hospitals, nursing homes, residential care facilities and home care.
Cellulose Airlaid Material for Softness and Absorbency
Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes are manufactured using a cellulose Airlaid blend. Airlaid technology creates a soft, absorbent material with a more substantial, cloth-like texture than many conventional paper products. This construction provides several practical benefits:
- High absorbency for personal cleansing
- Soft, comfortable contact with the skin
- A substantial washcloth-like feel
- Suitable strength for gentle washing
- Convenient single-use format
- Cellulose-based fibre content
- Designed for disposal through suitable macerator systems
The combination of softness and absorbency makes these wipes particularly useful for regular assisted washing and patient hygiene.
Highly Absorbent for Everyday Patient Care
Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes are designed to absorb moisture effectively. Their cellulose Airlaid construction provides a practical cleansing surface for washing and drying tasks. The high absorbency is particularly useful during assisted personal care, where carers may need to manage water, cleansing products and everyday soiling. The wipes can be used with warm water or an appropriate personal cleansing product, depending on the individual's requirements.
Soft, Cloth-Like Feel
The Softflex Washcloth range offers a soft, cloth-like texture designed for comfortable personal cleansing. This makes the wipes suitable for people who require regular assistance with washing, including older adults and individuals with reduced mobility. The soft material can help make everyday cleansing more comfortable when used with an appropriate technique. Care should always be taken when cleansing fragile, irritated or damaged skin.
Macerator-Friendly Dry Wipes
One of the most important features of Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes is their maceratable construction. The cellulose Airlaid material is designed to disperse when processed through a compatible hospital or care home macerator. This makes the wipes particularly relevant to healthcare facilities that use macerator-based waste-disposal systems.
Benefits include:
- Designed for use with suitable macerator systems
- Dispersible cellulose-based material
- Practical for healthcare waste-management procedures
- Suitable for facilities using approved macerator disposal processes
- An alternative to conventional non-maceratable synthetic wipes
Important: Maceratable does not automatically mean flushable. These wipes should not be disposed of in conventional toilets unless the manufacturer specifically confirms toilet flushability. Healthcare facilities should also check compatibility with their particular macerator equipment and follow local waste-management procedures.
More Environmentally Conscious Material Choice
Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes incorporate cellulose fibres derived from plant-based sources. Cellulose is a renewable material that can break down naturally under appropriate conditions. This offers an alternative to wipes manufactured entirely from synthetic fibres. The cellulose-based construction also supports the product's macerator-friendly characteristics.
Ideal for Full-Body Washing
The large size and absorbent construction make Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes suitable for everyday assisted body washing.
They can be used as part of personal hygiene routines involving:
- Bedside washing
- General body cleansing
- Washing arms and legs
- Personal hygiene following toileting
- Continence care
- Assisted washing in care homes
- Home-based personal care
- Routine patient cleansing
The wipes are supplied dry, allowing carers to use them with water or suitable cleansing products.
Suitable for Continence Care
Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes are suitable for routine continence care and personal cleansing. Their absorbent construction provides a practical material for washing the skin following episodes of urinary or faecal incontinence. The soft texture is particularly relevant for individuals requiring frequent cleansing. For people with fragile skin or existing skin damage, carers should follow an appropriate skin-care plan and avoid excessive rubbing.
Large 30 x 27 cm Wipe Size
Each Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipe measures 300 x 270 mm (30 x 27 cm). The generous dimensions provide a practical cleansing surface for assisted washing and personal hygiene. The wipe can be folded during use to provide a comfortable handhold and expose a fresh section of material as required.
Convenient Packs of 75 Wipes
Softflex Washcloth Dry Wipes are supplied in packs containing 75 wipes. This provides a practical quantity for everyday personal hygiene and patient care. The pack format is suitable for professional care environments as well as home care.
