minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish30•27 days agoI understand it’s “wet” from some alcohol/aldehydes and not from water.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-226 days agoI’m looking at a package of wet wipes right now and it says “99% water” on them
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•26 days agoMaybe my understanding is wrong, and I don’t use wet wipes that often, but the ones I have I bought like a year ago 60% ethanol v/v.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•26 days agoI see, maybe there are different types then. Mine are for an actual baby.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•25 days agoOk, so I checked a superstore near me, and my updated understanding is anything disinfecting is alcohol based be it for skin or for for objects, things designed for cleaning skin or to be “refreshing/fragrant” are mostly water based. However there are skin cleaning products that are marketed more towards deep clean or dirt/oil/grease etc are almost always alcohol based. cleaning objects intended wet wipes also mostly alcohol based. But if marketed as “gentle” could be water based. So baby wipes being meant to clean skin and be “gentle”, it makes sense that they are water based.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish20•27 days agoGets it fucking clean, I’ll tell you that.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•26 days agoYou light the ethanol and it burns off all the shit.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•26 days agoWould at least leave it super clean lmao
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•26 days agoBecause ethanol forms an azeotrope with water, 100% ethanol is also considerably more expensive than ~95% They’re definitely not gonna use 100% ethanol haha
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•edit-227 days agoNo clue, but I have those here. Tried it too. Left it in water and poof, disssolves after a while. (several minutes) Must be different kind of water they come in would be my guess
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•26 days agoThey are different kind of wet, obviously
