## TL;DR

This study compares how disinfecting wipes with and without alcohol affect the performance of protective clothing.

## Contribution

The study introduces a comparative analysis of disinfectant wipes' impact on protective clothing barrier resistance.

## Key findings

- Quaternary ammonia-based wipes may affect protective clothing performance differently than alcohol-containing wipes.
- The study identifies associations between wipe composition and protective clothing barrier resistance.

## Abstract
