Monarch Surface Disinfectant Wipes
Preferring a 1-minute, 1-step solution for cleaning and disinfecting operatory surfaces, several hygienists use these effective and easy-to-use wipes for everyday peace of mind
Now more than ever, patients are aware of the dangers that viruses and bacteria pose when they come in contact with operatory surfaces. Luckily, disinfection of contaminated operatory surfaces is a challenge that dental professionals have risen to with gusto.
It is imperative to have infection prevention in the operatory because when you are dealing with human lives, you need to destroy dangerous bacteria, viruses, and fungi that can be harmful to patients and providers,” explained Allison Resnick, RDH.
Diana Carr, RDHAP, agrees. “If surfaces are not disinfected, then germs may be transferred from those surfaces, acting as a vector to spread bacteria and viruses,” she explained. “By using disinfectant wipes on surfaces that bacteria and viruses have come into contact with, we can protect the health of dental staff and our patients.”
“These wipes are sturdy and they clean well.”

That’s where Monarch Surface Disinfectant Wipes by Air Techniques come in. The wipes are easy to use, effective, and clean and disinfect nonporous surfaces quickly—in as little as 1 minute.
“Disinfectant wipes play a vital role in the operatory every day by ensuring that the provider and patient are safe from harmful germs, so it’s important to be mindful of which wipes you choose," said Resnick. "Monarch wipes are a quick, reliable way of disinfecting contaminated surfaces in the operatory."
Simple and Fragrance-Free
Resnick prefers using Monarch Surface Disinfectant Wipes because they are fragrance-free. “These wipes don’t emit a harsh scent, which is important to me since I’m using them multiple times a day,” she said. “This makes them a good choice when disinfecting an operatory all day long—you won't get a headache from the scent and they are simple to use.”
The Right Size
For Jori McClure, RDH, Monarch Surface Disinfectant Wipes hold just the right amount of moisture. She noted that they are a convenient and easy way to clean her operatory in Pittsboro, IN. McClure particularly likes that the wipes are thicker than ones she has used in the past. “These wipes are sturdy and they clean well,” she said. “They don’t tear when I try to remove them from the container.”
Carr, whose office is in San Juan Bautista, CA, also has been particularly impressed with the wipes' size and texture, as they are available in a large 6- x 6.75- inch or extra-large 7- x 9-inch size. “I like their larger size and their texture compared to the wipes I was previously using,” she concluded.
