Why Big Wipes are the best for electricians

It’s unavoidable: electricians and electrical contractors get their hands dirty. They may be pulling cable through filthy loft spaces, chasing out walls for sockets and cabling or making good with plaster and paint.  Grime builds up easily and the consequences can be extremely irritating on your hands and skin.

Hands are an electrician’s most valuable tools.  But thousands of tradespeople spend days with their hands caked in dirt or harsh substances without having access to the facilities to clean them up. Even when soap and water are available, they just won’t shift the majority of modern construction and maintenance products. PU foam, silicone and varnishes are nasty stuff to get on your hands and without the ability to remove them quickly, can cause debilitating skin problems.

Skin Disease a reality

According to Health and Safety Executive (HSE) figures, there are over 20,000 people suffering from work-related skin diseases.  Shockingly, around 7,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Solvents, cement, resins and cutting fluids are some of the most common causes of irritant contact dermatitis.  Thus, it is no wonder construction workers have one of the highest rates of developing this skin disease. Clearly this is something that can severely affect a person’s ability to work.

One of the best ways to avoid contact dermatitis is to wash hands and apply a moisturiser after washing.  It is therefore important to point out that the best wipes will include moisturisers that protect hands.

Big Wipes contain the best formula for electricians

Big Wipes are used without water and thus are perfect for on-site use where water isn’t available. The 4×4 formulation is not only preservative-free but also has four dermatologically tested skin conditioners.  Aloe Vera, Lanolin, Vitamin E and Glycerine all help to nourish and protect the skin.

The range has also been assessed to the latest EU Regulation 1223/2009 for cosmetic products.  Furthermore, dermatologists recorded zero levels of irritation during controlled testing.

The Range

What is the difference?

There are three different types of Big Wipes 4×4:

  • Red top Big Wipes Heavy-Duty.  These are double sided with an abrasive side to remove stubborn grime and a smooth side to soak up the muck.
  • Black top Big Wipes Multi-Purpose.  This wipe consists of a three layered, non-woven quilted fabric, which makes it highly tear resistant and super tough.
  • Green top Big Wipes Multi-Surface.  These wipes are biodegradable and exceptionally absorbent and fantastic at cleaning all surfaces.  Made from a natural material, they can be thrown on the compost heap after use.

 

The Big Wipes 4×4 Power Spray is ideal for pre-treating larger areas such as walls, floors or window frames before wiping them free of dirt.   It is powerful, fast-acting and free from harmful chemicals. Furthermore, its speedy removal of muck means you can also save time and money by fixing accidents quickly and effectively. This is especially useful to electricians when they are making good, or when accidents and spillages happen from time to time.
