Heavy-duty hand cleaning wipes in a 300-count tub. Removes fresh silicone, PU foam, adhesives, oils, grease and paint from hands, tools and non-porous surfaces. Biodegradable formula with skin emollients — tough on mess, reasonable on your skin.
Soudal Swipex are heavy-duty hand cleaning wipes designed for trade use, where ordinary soap and water simply won’t cut through sealant residue, adhesive smears, grease, or oil. The 300-wipe tub keeps a generous supply close to hand on any job — in the van, on the bench, or next to the silicone gun on a fit-out.
Each wipe is a non-woven, wet-format cloth loaded with a cleaning liquid that combines biodegradable non-ionic surfactants with skin emollients. The surfactants do the heavy lifting on contamination, while the emollients help prevent the dry, cracked hands that come with daily exposure to solvents and building chemicals. That’s a practical balance that matters when you’re cleaning your hands twenty times a day on a busy installation.
What Soudal Swipex Hand Cleaning Wipes Remove
Swipex wipes are built around the kind of contamination that sealers, glaziers, decorators, and general site workers deal with regularly. Fresh silicone is the obvious one — wipe it off skin and tools before it skins over and you’ll save yourself a lot of effort. Uncured PU foam is another strong suit; once PU cures, it becomes a mechanical removal job. These wipes handle it cleanly when fresh.
Beyond sealants and foams, Swipex wipes are effective on oils, greases, and paint — including water-based and many solvent-based types when caught early. They work on hands and tools equally well, and on non-porous surfaces like UPVC, glass, metal, and tiles where sealant or adhesive has strayed somewhere it shouldn’t have.
A Note on Timing
Like most cleaning products aimed at adhesives and sealants, Swipex wipes perform best on fresh contamination. The faster you use one after a silicone or PU application, the easier the cleanup. Leaving uncured product to sit while you finish the job will always make the wipe work harder — and sometimes mean it doesn’t work at all.
The 300-wipe tub format suits a working environment rather than a one-off job. It is a sensible size for a trade van, a workshop, or a site welfare area where multiple trades might be drawing from it through the day. The tub is resealable to prevent the wipes from drying out between uses.
Soudal produce Swipex wipes as a companion to their sealant and adhesive range, so the cleaning formula is developed with those products in mind. That said, the wipes perform well across contamination types from other brands too — grease and oil don’t care what name is on the tube they came from.
For anyone regularly working with silicone, PU, adhesives, or oils, keeping a tub of Swipex hand cleaning wipes on site is simply a sensible habit. The 300-count format means you won’t be reaching for an empty tub halfway through a run of windows or a long day on the tools.
Pro Tip: Use a Swipex wipe on silicone or PU foam immediately after any accidental contact with skin or tools, before the product begins to skin over, as even a few minutes of curing makes removal significantly harder.
Soudal Swipex wipes are used daily by glaziers, sealant applicators, decorators, plumbers, and general building trades to remove fresh silicone, PU foam, adhesives, grease, and oil from hands and tools. They are equally suited to cleaning sealant smears from non-porous surfaces such as UPVC frames, glass panes, ceramic tiles, and metal trims where a neat finish matters. The 300-tub format suits trade vans, on-site welfare areas, and workshops where multiple people need access through the day.

Not suitable for: Swipex wipes are not effective on fully cured silicone or hardened PU foam, which require mechanical removal. Not recommended for use on porous surfaces such as bare timber, brick, or stone where the cleaning liquid may soak in and leave residue.
Take a single wipe from the tub and close the lid to prevent the remaining wipes from drying out. Apply the wipe directly to the contaminated skin, tool, or surface using a firm wiping motion. For silicone or PU foam, act as quickly as possible after contact for easiest removal.
On tools, wipe the affected area thoroughly and follow up with a dry cloth if needed. On skin, use as many wipes as required to remove contamination, then wash hands with soap and water as normal after use on site.
Open the resealable tub and remove a single wipe
Close the tub lid immediately to keep remaining wipes moist
Apply the wipe to contaminated skin, tools, or non-porous surfaces
Wipe firmly using a rubbing motion to lift silicone, PU, grease, oil, or paint
Use a second wipe if contamination is heavy or spread across a large area
Follow up with soap and water after cleaning hands on site
Will Soudal Swipex wipes remove cured silicone?
No. Swipex wipes are designed for fresh, uncured contamination. Once silicone has fully cured it bonds mechanically to the surface and needs to be cut or scraped away. Use the wipes as soon as possible after any silicone contact for the best result.
Are Swipex wipes safe to use on skin every day?
Yes. The wipes include skin emollients in the formula specifically to reduce the drying effect of daily cleaning. They are designed for trade use where hands are being cleaned repeatedly through the day. After use, washing hands normally with soap and water is still recommended.
How many wipes are in the Swipex 300 tub, and will the tub stay sealed on site?
The tub contains 300 wipes and has a resealable lid to prevent the wipes from drying out between uses. Kept properly closed, the tub is practical for a van or site welfare area where it may be opened and closed multiple times each day.
Soudal Swipex wipes use a non-woven substrate saturated with a cleaning solution containing biodegradable non-ionic surfactants and skin emollients. Non-ionic surfactants are effective at breaking down oils, greases, and uncured polymer-based sealants without carrying a high pH that would be aggressive on skin. The biodegradable formulation reduces environmental impact from routine disposal on site.
