WypAll industrial cleaning cloths now have more absorbency and durability
Kimberly-Clark Professional has introduced significant enhancements to its WypAll X70 medium duty cleaning cloths and WypAll X80 heavy duty cleaning cloths. Both types of cleaning cloths now offer enhanced absorbency and a nearly 10% larger sized sheet in the popular jumbo roll and pop-up box package formats, making them even better for soaking up spills to help reduce downtime.
These improvements deliver better performance and greater value to commercial customers seeking high performing cleaning products for industrial and manufacturing environments.
WypAll X70 medium duty cleaning cloths were redesigned to be stronger and more absorbent. The product features a new performance engineered construction, ideal for use with solvents, that absorbs up to 20% more oil and water than before. In user testing, the improved WypAll X70 is liked by users more than the previous version for oil and grease cleaning performance (source: internal study 2024).
WypAll X80 heavy duty cleaning cloths were also improved with a tough new surface texture for a durable and strong feel and are liked by users better than the previous version for water, oil and grease cleaning performance. (source: internal study 2024).
"Our innovation process for this improvement combined our material science knowledge and customer-focused insights," says Susan Gambardella, president of Kimberly-Clark Professional. "As a result, our customers now have even higher quality and better value solutions for their cleaning tasks."
WypAll X70 and WypAll X80 products are part of a full line of wiping solutions for any industry or budget and have helped make WypAll the top branded disposable wipes in the US and Canada (source: market share data, 2021).
