This paper investigated the effectiveness of hand disinfection with commercial biocidal wipes using RODAC contact plates. The highest level of bacterial reduction (100%) was obtained for W1 wipes - saturated with propanol, among others. A slightly lower, but also high level of reduction at an average of 95.5% was obtained for W3 wipes containing only ethyl alcohol. For the W2 wipes without added alcohol, the bacterial reduction rate averaged 54%. Similar results were obtained for fungi: the highest degree of reduction was achieved for W1 and W3 wipes (100%), the lowest for W2 (average 67.5%). Wipes with alcohol enriched with other active substances showed the strongest antimicrobial activity. No pathogenic microorganisms were found in any of the samples tested.
