WIPE ALTERNATIVES & COST REDUCTION

Industrial Wipe Alternatives & Cost Reduction

How to evaluate industrial wipe alternatives and reduce wiping cost by matching material, format, absorbency, reuse, dispensing and packaging to the actual task.

Start with the actual wiping task

Reducing wiping cost is usually more effective when the product is matched to the task instead of simply buying the lowest unit price. Material over-specification, poor absorbency, inconsistent size and uncontrolled dispensing can all increase real consumption.

Buyer checklist

  1. What product is currently being used and why?
  2. What is the monthly consumption and cost per task?
  3. Which performance requirement is essential and which is unnecessary?
  4. Could size, GSM, material or dispensing format reduce waste?
  5. Can an approved sample be compared side-by-side before a larger change?

For a product-level recommendation, use the JETESO Product Finder or send the current wipe, application and monthly quantity for comparison.
