Cleanroom wipers vs ordinary wipers

An ordinary wipe or paper towel sheds fibres and particles. A cleanroom wiper is made, cut, washed and packed to shed far fewer.

The differences

	Ordinary wipe	Cleanroom wiper
Fibres	Sheds fibres and dust	Continuous filament or controlled fibre, low shedding
Edges	Cut edges that fray	Sealed edges (heat or laser) on higher grades
Cleaning	Not cleaned after making	Cleaned or laundered, then packed in a clean environment
Packaging	Loose or in open packs	Sealed bags, often double bagged
Testing	Rarely tested	Particle and extractables data on request
