One 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Café Wipz safe to use on food contact surfaces? Yes! Café Wipz are formulated to be food-surface safe. No rinse is required after wiping counters, steam wands, or other food contact areas.
Do these wipes have a scent? No. Café Wipz are completely fragrance-free, so they won't transfer any odor to your equipment or work surfaces.
Can I use these wipes to clean inside my espresso machine? No. Wipz are for external surfaces only. For internal machine cleaning (group heads, valves, lines), use Urnex Cafiza or Biocaf powder/tablets with proper backflushing.
Do Café Wipz disinfect and kill bacteria? No. While they contain cleaning agents, Café Wipz are not disinfectants and do not kill viruses or bacteria. They remove residue and clean surfaces.
How do I prevent the wipes from drying out? Always close the flip-top lid immediately after removing a wipe. This seals in moisture and keeps the remaining wipes fresh.
Can I use these on hot steam wands? Yes, with caution. The wipes can handle warm surfaces, but be careful with very hot steam wands immediately after use. Let cool for a few seconds or use care to avoid burns.
How many wipes do I need for daily café use? Cafés typically use 5-15 wipes per day depending on volume. Home users might use 1-3 wipes daily. A 100-count container lasts home users 1-3 months, busy cafés 1-2 weeks.
