SOS 24" x 24" Nonwoven Treated Yellow Dust Cloths — 1/6 Folded, 50/Bag
6028-500 is a nonwoven treated yellow dust cloth used for light surface wiping where you want to attract and remove dust and small particles. The 24" x 24" format is well-suited for broad wipe coverage on equipment exteriors, carts, floors (non-critical zones), and general area dust pickup where loose debris can migrate into controlled work areas.
In technician practice, treated dust cloths perform best with a controlled touch: wipe lightly, keep the cloth folded to maintain a clean working face, and retire the cloth once it begins to load. That handling discipline helps reduce re-deposition, streaking, and dragging captured debris back across the surface.

Dust pickup performance — and the reality check
Treated dust cloths are designed to attract and hold light dust so it does not re-settle. Even so, any wiping material can shed or re-deposit debris if it is overworked, used with excessive pressure, or reused beyond its effective life. Control performance with light contact, clean-face folding, and early discard.
Practical use guidance (technicians and engineers)
- Use the right zone: Position as a general-area dust pickup cloth (equipment exteriors, carts, floors, non-critical surfaces). For product-contact or critical wiping, standardize a cleanroom-grade wiper that is qualified for particles, extractables, and solvent compatibility.
- Light touch is the technique: Wipe lightly. High pressure can grind debris into the surface and increase streaking or drag marks.
- Fold to control re-deposition: Keep the cloth folded to create a flat pad. Refold to a clean face as it loads so captured dust does not get redistributed.
- One cloth, one task window: Do not stretch use across multiple zones or long durations. Once a cloth loads, it becomes a transfer tool.
- Keep it dry unless validated: Treated dust cloths are typically used dry. Introducing solvents or water can change pickup behavior and increase streaking/transfer risk under many processes.
Compatibility and wipe-down notes
- IPA / solvent exposure: Not published for 6028-500. If your process requires IPA wipe-down or solvent contact, qualify for streaking, residue transfer, and surface appearance under your solvent load and dwell time before standardizing.
- DI water / aqueous exposure: Not published. Avoid wet use unless validated for your application.
- Sensitive finishes: For high-gloss, optical, coated, or cosmetic surfaces, validate on a non-critical area first. Use minimal pressure to reduce drag marks and transfer risk.
- Sterility: Not stated. Do not assume sterile for aseptic programs.

Common failure modes
- Streaking / drag marks: Often caused by excessive pressure or overworking the same area. Prevent with light contact and single-direction passes.
- Re-deposition of captured dust: Happens when a cloth is reused beyond capacity or not refolded to a clean face. Prevent with clean-face folding and early discard.
- Residue transfer risk (process-specific): If the cloth contacts wet chemistry or incompatible surfaces, transfer can occur. Prevent by keeping use dry unless your SOP and qualification allow otherwise.
- Fiber/particle mobilization from aggressive wiping: Aggressive wiping can increase shedding and spread debris. Prevent with controlled technique and avoiding snagging on sharp edges.
- Cross-contamination between zones: Using one cloth across multiple areas turns the cloth into a transfer mechanism. Prevent with zone-based use rules.
Storage and handling best practices
- Keep wipes sealed in the poly bag until point-of-use to reduce airborne loading and accidental contamination.
- Stage dispensing away from wet cleaning chemistry to reduce accidental wetting and streaking/transfer issues.
- Store in a clean, dry location; avoid crushing or tearing the bag which increases handling contamination and variability.
- Standardize discard rules (per task/zone/time) to prevent overuse and re-deposition.
