Urnex Café Wipz Coffee Equipment Cleaning Wipes - 100 Count
Professional-Grade Cleaning, Naturally
ne Wipe. Clean Equipment. Move On.
Urnex Café Wipz are pre-moistened, fragrance-free cleaning wipes designed specifically for coffee equipment. Formulated with cationic detergents that safely remove milk residue and coffee oils from steam wands, grinder hoppers, countertops, and equipment exteriors—no sprays, no cloths, no fuss.
The Daily Café Cleanup Challenge: Between customers, mess builds up fast: milky steam wands, oily counters, coffee-dusted hoppers. You need something quick, effective, and food-safe. Regular cleaning wipes leave fragrance or residue. Spray cleaners require extra cloths and time.
The Wipz Solution: Grab a wipe. Clean the surface. Toss it. Done. Pre-moistened with the perfect amount of cleaning solution. Thick, durable material that won't tear. Resealable flip-top keeps them fresh. Made specifically for coffee equipment—not generic multi-surface wipes.
