TIDDOX is the trusted brand for professionals requiring quality swabs for precision cleaning applications, removing debris from delicate and lint-sensitive surfaces, controlling contamination risk, applying or removing solvents, as well as validation, sampling and analysis work.
Our foam and polyester swabs are used in various industries, including electronics, printing, biopharm, pharmaceutical, medical, healthcare, and industrial. We offer short—and long-handle swabs with polyester or foam heads that are ultra-low in particulates, non-abrasive, and chemically compatible with solvents like isopropyl alcohol.

Most wet wipes contain an antibacterial solution designed to kill germs and prevent the spread of bacteria on surfaces. These formulas effectively kill 99.9% of bacteria. There are also alcohol-based wet wipes, such as IPA wet wipes, which contain hospital-grade alcohol disinfectants. 

An antibacterial agent designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria in the cloths is added with certain dry wipes, such as the TIDDOX heavy-duty dry wipes. Interestingly, bamboo wipes have natural antibacterial properties that inhibit bacterial growth.

Antibacterial wet wipes are a popular choice for personal hygiene on the go, hand cleaning, and as refresher towelettes. These wipes are compact and easy to carry, making them ideal for use when soap and water are not readily available. We stock antibacterial wipes that are gentle enough to use on the skin, making them both a convenient and safe option.

One of the advantages of online shopping for TIDDOX wipes is that we offer volume discounts. We encourage bulk purchasing by offering increasing discounts for the larger volume purchased. Purchasing antibacterial wipes in bulk can save time and money while ensuring a clean and hygienic environment.

Foam Swabs

TIDDOX foam swabs are ultra-low in particulates (low linting), high in absorbency, soft, non-abrasive and ideal for applying solvents and lubricants. As such, these lint-free cleaning swabs are commonly used to clean sensitive equipment parts and delicate surfaces.

Applications include:
  • Cleaning printheads, nozzles, plates, cylinders and drums in printing equipment
  • Removing debris from keyboards
  • Clean machine recesses and crevices
  • Gun maintenance

TIDDOX offers double-headed foam swabs, single-headed rectangular foam swabs, and long-handle foam swabs for cleaning difficult-to-reach areas that wipe and regular swab handles cannot reach.

Polyester Swabs

TIDDOX polyester swabs mitigate contamination risk. Professionals and laboratory technicians use these swabs to take surface samples in cleanrooms and medical labs. They are ideal for cleaning contamination-sensitive surfaces because the polyester head is ultra-low in ions, particles, and non-volatile residues. 

Like cotton swabs, polyester swabs have a long handle. However, the polyester head makes them more suited for critical cleaning tasks in controlled environments. These swabs can pick up trace levels of contaminants, making them ideal for surface analysis and equipment cleaning validation procedures.
