Textured Heavy Duty Pro Builders Wipes – Timco

Textured Heavy Duty Pro Builders Wipes from Timco are made for the sort of mess that baby wipes simply give up on. Paint, grease, glue, sealant, bitumen, tar, uncured expanding foam: if it’s wet or only half cured, these are designed to shift it. The textured surface does a good share of the work, giving you something to actually scrub with rather than just smearing the problem around.

Each tub holds 75 wipes, which is enough to keep on the dashboard or in the toolbag without constantly restocking. There’s aloe vera in the formulation too, so your hands don’t end up feeling like they’ve been sanded after a day of cleaning off silicone. Hand cleaning on site is rarely glamorous, but it doesn’t need to be painful either.

Where Textured Builders Wipes Earn Their Place

Anyone who has fitted a bathroom, laid a roof or run a bead of sealant will know the routine. You finish the job and your hands look like you’ve been arm wrestling a tin of paint. Soap and water is rarely on hand halfway up a scaffold, and a rag just spreads things about. A wipe with some grit to it gets you back to something presentable quickly, and the same wipe can be used on tools, trowels and the steering wheel you’ve just touched with greasy fingers.

These are particularly handy for jobs involving expanding foam, adhesive and sealant. Wipe the surplus away while it’s still wet and it comes off cleanly. Leave it a few hours and you’re into scraping territory, so do it promptly. They also cope well with bitumen and tar, which anyone who has done flat roofing will appreciate.

They are also useful for general site welfare. Painters, plumbers, plasterers, roofers, joiners, mechanics and anyone fitting kitchens will find a reason to keep a tub nearby. The 75 count means they last a decent while on a busy week, though a few lads sharing one tub will see it vanish faster than a packet of biscuits at break time.

Using Them on Surfaces Other Than Skin

The wipes can be used on some tools and hard, sealed surfaces to remove wet or semi-cured residue. That said, they are not suitable for porous materials such as untreated wood, where they can leave marks or soak in. If you’re unsure, test a small hidden patch first. It takes ten seconds and saves a lot of cursing later.

Always use the wipes as directed and keep the lid firmly closed after pulling one out. A tub left open will dry out quickly, especially in a hot van, and you’ll end up with 75 very expensive paper towels. Once finished with, bin them in general waste. They should never go down the toilet, as they won’t break down like loo roll and your local drainage contractor will not thank you.

For anyone who regularly gets stuck into dirty work, Textured Heavy Duty Pro Builders Wipes from Timco are a sensible thing to have to hand. They’re quick, they’re textured enough to do a proper job, and the aloe vera means your skin copes with the routine a bit better than with harsher alternatives.
