Arrowipe Selector Guide

As part of our commitment to reduce waste and innovate more environmentally responsible products, Arrow Solutions are expanding its range of impregnated wipes. The Arrow wipes range effectively reduces chemical waste, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and the environmental footprint whilst maintaining the high level of cleaning and degreasing results that Arrow are renown for.

Arrow Solutions’ cleaning and degreasing range are specially formulated to minimise chemical usage compared with the typical alternatives, whilst using safer and more responsibility resourced components. Combining these safer formulas with a wipe, further reduces waste, contamination, downtime and requires no specialist equipment.

Key benefits

Precision and Control Wipes offer precise control over where the cleaning chemical is applied. This is particularly useful when you need to target specific areas or objects without over spraying or chemical waste.	Reduced Waste Wipes are used in a more targeted manner, so naturally minimise waste. With spraying, excess liquid can often end up on surfaces where it’s not needed, leading to further waste.	Portability Wipes are easily portable and don’t require additional equipment like spray bottles, rags or applicators. This makes them convenient for on-the-go cleaning, especially in remote or outdoor settings.
Controlled Saturation Wipes can be pre-saturated with a specific amount of cleaning solution, ensuring consistent and controlled saturation levels. This helps maintain the desired concentration of the chemical for effective cleaning and degreasing.	Less Downtime Wipes are ready to use and don’t require mixing or setup time, making them a quicker and more efficient choice for immediate cleaning needs.	Less Environmental Impact Wipes typically use less packaging compared to spray bottles and canisters, which can reduce the environmental footprint associated with their disposal. Manufactured in the UK Reusable tubs and refills packs to support companies zero waste to landfill targets.
