As a primary vendor partner to home improvement and hardware retailers, automotive chains, paint retailers, and national MRO supply companies, Intex currently supplies a large majority of the disposable wipers, paint rags, terry towels, and microfiber cleaning accessories sold in the United States retail market. Intex’s product lines also include a new line of disposable non-woven cloth-like wipes called SNAPS! developed for the covid-19 driven demand for cleaning and disinfecting accessories.

With the scarcity of essential cleaning products on the market, hard to get items such as disinfecting wipes and disinfectants are almost nowhere to be found.  That’s why our resealable SNAPS!™ cloth-like wipes are perfect for making your own cleaning cloths.  They are five times stronger than paper towels and are designed especially for use with disinfectant sprays and cleaners for safer surface cleaning.

Simply pour your favorite cleaner from value-sized bottles into the SNAPS!™ dispenser bag to make economical ready-to-use wet wipes. Use with any brand of liquid cleaner and more!

To all our friends,

Intex is immediately increasing our production capacity to deliver as soon as possible our products that we know consumers need to help combat the coronavirus pandemic, especially our SNAPS!™ cloth-like wipes and pureclean™ hygienic cleaning cloths. The demand is explosive and everyone is working hard to meet requests while focusing on the safety of our employees. We are shipping extra supplies to our retail partners and will be replenishing store shelves soon. We will continue this extra effort as long as necessary to provide these necessary cleaning tools to the public.

In light of the exploding consumer demand for cleaning wipes for use with surface disinfectant chemicals to combat the spread of the coronavirus, Intex DIY, Inc., a leading supplier of textile and disposable cloth-like wipes to the US retail market, has responded with both a rapid increase in production capacity as well as the release of new consumer options. These options include an increased production of a hygienic cloth wiper that removes pathogens, and a disposable cloth-like wipe that can be used in conjunction with your disinfectant of preference.

The unique microfiber-enhanced hygienic cleaning towels sold under the pureclean™ brand provide a highly effective wiping tool to remove viruses from surfaces. When used with simple water alone, pureclean™ removes 99.9% of pathogens dead or alive*. When used in conjunction with economic spray-on disinfectants with virus kill claims, pureclean™ provides an extra level of hygienic cleaning called “kill and remove.” In this cleaning protocol, the surface is not only properly disinfected, but pathogens, both dead and alive are removed from the surface and contained in the pureclean™ cloth which provides additional contact time with the disinfectant. Pureclean™ has the bulk and softness of terry with the cleaning power of looped microfiber.

Intex is also releasing an innovative new disposable wipe option called SNAPS™!

SNAPS!™ are extra-large cloth-like wipes from Intex. They are five times stronger than paper towels and are designed especially for use with spray-on disinfectants for safer surface cleaning.

Durable SNAPS!™ save money and clean better than paper towels. SNAPS!™ are extra-large sized (10in x 7in) on a perforated centerfeed roll that snap apart and are packaged in a resealable plastic dispenser bag with a zipper closure.

As a unique option, SNAPS!™ provides the opportunity for consumers to save even more money by pouring their favorite disinfectant from value-sized bottles into the SNAPS!™ dispenser bag to make economical ready-to-use wet wipes. Use with any brand, including Clorox®, Pine-Sol®, Lysol®, Simple Green®, Mr. Clean™, Formula 409® and more!

SNAPS!™ will be available for shipment within a few weeks.

Intex offers several other options for surface cleaning that are currently available in home improvement and mass merchandiser retailers nationally.
