Texwipe TX7026 AlphaSat® Pre-Wetted Replacement Mop Covers — 8" x 15", 6% IPA / 94% DIW (Refills)
TX7026 is a pre-wetted replacement mop cover set built for critical-environment floor, wall, and ceiling cleaning where you need a controlled liquid load and a low particle-generating polyester substrate. These AlphaSat® covers use Texwipe’s AlphaWipe® continuous-filament knitted polyester and arrive pre-wetted with a 0.2 µm filtered, semiconductor-grade 6% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) / 94% deionized water solution to help reduce mixing errors, cut VOC burden versus open buckets, and support repeatable surface wetting in production cleaning.

For over 35 years, SOS and Texwipe have been close partners, and SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market. That relationship matters when you are standardizing mopping systems: it supports continuity of supply, stable product lineage, and fast access to the manufacturer documentation your QA/QC team expects.

Low-linting, low particle-generating — and the reality check
These covers are engineered for low particle generation and low extractables in critical cleaning. Even so, no textile system is truly “lint-free.” Treat mop covers as contamination-controlled components: control pouch wipe-down, glove discipline, change frequency, and the dry-time/evaporation window so the cleaning process stays repeatable shift to shift.
Practical cleanroom use guidance (technicians and engineers)
  • Pouch wipe-down before entry: Wipe the closed pouch per your site SOP (directional strokes; fresh wipe faces; do not re-deposit). Allow the pouch to dry before opening to reduce solvent transfer to gloves and work surfaces.
  • Control the liquid load: TX7026 is pre-wetted to a measured dilution. Do not add extra IPA/DI water in the pouch. Over-wetting increases streaking risk and can push solvent into seams, corners, and under equipment.
  • Pad alignment matters: Install the foam pad flat and centered, then fit the cover with even tension. Wrinkles and pad drift create “pressure ridges” that leave streaks and miss microtexture.
  • Stroke discipline: Use overlapping strokes with consistent pressure (avoid “scrubbing”). For walls/ceilings, work top-to-bottom and maintain a wet edge to avoid drying lines.
  • Change frequency: Replace covers based on area cleaned, bioburden/soil load, and your validation limits. In high-risk programs, change at every room transition or defined square-foot threshold.
  • Segregate by chemical and zone: Dedicate covers to a single chemical family and room/area where required. Cross-use is a common route for residue carryover and unintended chemical interaction.
Compatibility and wipe-down notes
  • Pre-wet chemistry: Published as 6% IPA / 94% DIW (0.2 µm filtered). This is intended to support controlled wetting for routine cleaning and solution application/removal.
  • Evaporation control: Reseal the pouch immediately after removing a cover. Leaving the pouch open drives concentration shift and dry-out, which changes cleaning behavior and can increase streaking.
  • Surface compatibility: IPA/DI water is commonly used on stainless, epoxy, vinyl, and many coated surfaces, but material tolerance is site-specific. If you have sensitive polymers or optical coatings, qualify under your conditions before standardizing.
  • Flammability / EHS: IPA-containing products require compliant storage and ground-only shipping. Follow site controls for flammables, ventilation, ignition sources, and waste handling.

Common failure modes 
  • Streaking / haze: Most often from uneven pad contact, wrinkled covers, or over-wetting. Prevent with flat pad installation, even tension, and controlled overlapping strokes.
  • Residue carryover: Caused by running one cover too long, crossing zones, or picking up bench oils/adhesives. Prevent with defined change frequency and zone/chemical segregation.
  • Evaporation dry-out: Leaving the pouch open shifts the liquid load and can increase drag and redeposition. Prevent with immediate reseal and minimizing time between removal and use.
  • Re-deposition of captured soil: Excessive scrubbing or back-and-forth strokes re-release particles. Prevent with directional technique and cover changes before saturation.
  • Safety / compliance misses: IPA-containing products require proper flammable handling and ground shipment controls. Prevent with EHS-compliant storage, labeling, and waste practices.
Storage and handling best practices
  • Keep pouches sealed until use; store per your flammable liquid controls and site policy.
  • Use FIFO and track lot/date codes where required. Non-sterile shelf life is published as 5 years from date of manufacture in the AlphaMop™ technical data sheet.
  • Transport pouches in closed totes; avoid crushing or pin-holing packaging that can accelerate evaporation.
  • After opening, do not leave covers exposed on carts or benches. Remove, install, and begin cleaning promptly to keep the intended wet load consistent.

The Technical Vault Pre-Wetted Cleanroom Mopping Control (Applied Use Case: Texwipe™ TX7026 AlphaSat® 8" x 15" Mop Covers — Pre-Wetted 6% IPA)

Purpose & Scope

TX7026 AlphaSat® are pre-wetted polyester mop covers intended to reduce variability in cleanroom mopping by eliminating on-the-floor mixing, filtering, and dilution steps. These covers use a continuous-filament polyester substrate pre-wetted with a measured 6% IPA / DI water solution (IPA is 0.2 µm filtered and typically specified as semiconductor grade in manufacturer literature). This Technical Vault reference focuses on the controls that matter most: evaporation management, coverage repeatability, lane discipline, and change-out rules.

Visual Aids (Technique, Zoning, Lifecycle)

Use this graphic as a training reinforcement tool: unidirectional technique, zone-based tool control, and mop cover lifecycle discipline.

Implementation note: Diagram intent is educational. Align technique, zoning, and change-out rules to your facility SOP and validated cleaning program.

Why Pre-Wetted Covers Change the Risk Profile

  • Reduces dilution error: removes day-to-day operator variation in mix ratios and measurement.
  • Reduces filtration burden: avoids reliance on local filtering practices for routine wiping solutions.
  • Improves repeatability: supports consistent wetting across lanes when technique is controlled.
  • Shifts the main risk: from “mix accuracy” to pouch discipline (evaporation control and staging).

The #1 Control Variable: Evaporation & Pouch Discipline

Pre-wetted covers are only “pre-wetted” if the solvent content is preserved. If the pouch sits open during staging, the first covers removed may be wetter than the last covers removed, leading to lane-to-lane inconsistency, haze, or incomplete pickup.

  • Open only at point-of-use and reclose immediately between removals.
  • Stage pouches in a controlled area (not under direct airflow or near heat sources that accelerate evaporation).
  • Do not “pre-open” multiple pouches for convenience; that practice creates avoidable variability.
  • Train for consistency: the same number of lanes per cover (or defined area-per-cover) improves repeatability.

Technique Guidance (Pre-Wetted Flat Mop Covers)

Unidirectional Lanes & Overlap

  • Use unidirectional strokes with 10–20% overlap.
  • Avoid back-and-forth scrubbing; it increases redeposition and can produce visible drag lines.
  • Keep the head flat; do not “ride” edges or corners with a loaded cover.

Dwell & Removal Logic (If Your SOP Requires It)

A common failure mode is applying a solution and treating the job as complete without the required follow-on removal step. If your program requires dwell time and removal (or a final wipe), define that sequence clearly and train to it. Pre-wetted covers improve consistency—but they do not replace validated cleaning steps.

Cover Change-Out Rules (Where Programs Win or Lose)

Treat each cover as a finite-capacity capture medium. “Looks clean” is not a reliable change trigger in controlled environments. Strong programs change by zone boundary, time, or defined area covered.

  • Change by boundary: do not take a used cover from entries/thresholds back into cleaner zones.
  • Change early in high-soil areas: corners, door tracks, drains, and perimeter edges load covers quickly.
  • Prevent cross-chemistry carryover: segregate tools and covers by chemistry family when required by SOP.

Details Most Websites Skip (But They Drive Outcomes)

  • Pouch wipe-down before entry: many facilities require exterior wipe-down of packaging prior to introduction into controlled areas.
  • First-cover bias: the first cover removed after opening can be wetter; train operators to avoid flooding the first lane.
  • Airflow effect: staging an open pouch under supply air can dry covers quickly and create lane-to-lane variability.
  • Glove transfer: handling covers with wet/dirty gloves can contaminate the cover before it contacts the surface.

SOP & Audit Readiness Checklist (Pre-Wetted Covers)

  • Define pouch handling: when to open, how to reclose, where to stage, and maximum “open time” expectations.
  • Define technique: unidirectional lanes, overlap, and “no re-entry” of cleaner zones with used covers.
  • Define change-out rules by boundary/time/area (not appearance alone).
  • Define the validated sequence: dwell + removal/final wipe steps if required by your cleaning program.
  • Define packaging wipe-down / entry procedure if required by your facility contamination control plan.

Disclaimer: This Technical Vault content is provided for educational purposes only. Manufacturer instructions, facility SOPs, and site-specific risk assessments must always take precedence. Cleanroom suitability and contamination performance are determined by the complete system configuration (covers + pads/head + packaging/handling) and validated site practice.
