Firewipes Vs Baby Wipes:
-
Size Matters- Firewipes are three times larger than baby wipes
-
Durability and Strength- Firewipes woven
(spunlaced) towelettes allow the user to scrub themselves without the
wipe breaking down and deteriorating
-
Texture- The textured wipe increases the surface area of the wipe to lift and retain more contaminates from the skin
-
Individual Packaging- Every single
Firewipe has a three-year shelf life. Unlike many flip top style wipes,
they start with a three-year shelf life but turn into a three-week shelf
life once opened.
-
Indented Use- Firewipes were designed
especially for on scene decon. They lift up the carbon based
contaminates off the skin, such as taking a shower. Baby wipes are
designed to smear until you don’t see anything else.
-
Ingredients- Firewipes have a high-water
content with mild surfactants to clean the skin. Baby wipes have harsh
ingredients, including alcohol, that can dry out and irritate the skin.
Some also have chemicals that are lung and
eye irritants that cause issues with using the SCBA mask

which in turn cleans better, provides a more comfortable experience, and
increases durability
How to use Firewipes effectively:
-
Open wipe to full size – recognize there is a smooth and textured side to the wipe
-
Wipe down immediately after exposure –
removing contaminates early reduces absorption of the harmful chemicals –
which reduces the risk
-
Start at the neck, jaw, throat and face –
these areas are more prone to exposure and have some of the highest
absorption rates of the skin
-
Make sure to clean the tiny crevices of the skin – Being aware particulates can accumulate around the eyes, nose and ears
-
Continue to the other areas of the skin
that are also prone to exposure, including the hands, wrists, lower
extremities and groin.
-
When both sides of the wipe become soiled during the process, use additional wipes as needed.
