Texwipe TX1720 Revolve™ Mini AlphaMop™ Integrated Covers/Pads — 7" x 4" (18 cm x 10 cm), Non-Sterile (100/Case)
TX1720 is a non-sterile, Revolve™ sustainable integrated cover/pad designed for the Mini AlphaMop™ / Isolator Cleaning Tool platform. It is used for controlled wiping and mopping of small, hard-to-reach areas where technicians need disciplined surface contact, fast change-outs, and repeatable cleaning/disinfection technique (isolators, glove boxes, biosafety cabinets, laminar flow hoods, workbenches, and tight equipment footprints).
Revolve™ integrated covers/pads are made from REVOLVE™ sustainable polyester and are positioned for critical cleaning applications with low levels of ions, non-volatile residues (NVRs), particles, and fibers (as published in the Mini AlphaMop™ Series TDS).
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 in critical environments where teams need consistent product lineage, reliable availability, and fast access to manufacturer documentation for QA/QC review, CCS documentation, and change-control support.

Low-linting intent — and the reality check
This mop cover/pad system is designed for ultraclean handling with low particle and fiber generation. Even so, no textile or paper-like substrate is truly “lint-free.” Treat covers like contamination-controlled components: control how they are introduced, how long they are used, and what touches the cleaning face.
Practical cleanroom use guidance (technicians and engineers)
- Point-of-use opening: Keep the inner double-bag intact until the defined transfer step. Open bags with a controlled peel (no tearing) to avoid generating debris.
- Wet-out discipline: If pre-wetting is permitted by SOP, wet the cover/pad to the qualified level (not dripping). Over-wetting increases residue films, streaking, and uncontrolled run-off under isolators or benches.
- Stroke control: Use unidirectional strokes with overlap. Avoid scrubbing back-and-forth that re-deposits soils and smears chemistry across seams and corners.
- Corner and edge technique: Use the Mini AlphaMop™ low profile to reach isolator corners without excessive pressure. Excess pressure can push residues into seams and create streak lines.
- Change-out triggers: Replace after defined coverage area, when streaking begins, after visible soil events, or whenever you move from cleaner to dirtier zones (or between rooms) per your CCS/SOP.
- One-direction zoning: Maintain clean-to-dirty workflow. Do not return to a cleaner surface with a cover that has contacted a dirtier area.
Compatibility and solution-use notes
- Disinfectants: Published for applying and removing disinfectants; qualify your contact times, coverage, and residue limits under your validated procedure.
- Solvents (as published): Used for cleaning with solvents such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ethanol, acetone, and degreasers.
- Spill control (as published): Integrated design is positioned for spill control, cleaning, and solution application.
- Autoclave note (as published): Autoclave safe is published for Revolve™ cover/pad integrated covers. If your program autoclaves after opening, validate post-cycle integrity and performance before standardizing.
Quick reference table (for CCS documentation and training)
| Item |
Published value |
Why it matters in critical environments |
| Cleaning face size |
7" x 4" (18 cm x 10 cm) |
Supports controlled wipe paths in isolators, small bays, glove ports, and under-shelf footprints. |
| Sterile status |
Non-sterile |
For aseptic/Grade A/B workflows, many CCS programs specify sterile tools — see sterile equivalents when required by SOP. |
| Packaging |
10 covers/bag, double-bagged; 10 bags/case; 100 covers/case |
Double-bagging supports controlled introduction and helps reduce transfer contamination when handled correctly. |
| System compatibility |
Use with TX7101 and TX7105 |
Avoids improvised adapters that can shed debris or compromise reach and surface contact. |
| Temperature limit |
< 400°F (205°C) |
Useful for hot equipment areas; always qualify with chemistry and surface requirements. |
| Shelf life |
5 years from date of manufacture |
Supports FEFO controls and reduces the risk of using aged packaging or compromised substrates. |
Annex 1 alignment considerations (practical, CCS-driven)
EU GMP Annex 1 expectations emphasize a risk-based CCS, validated cleaning/disinfection, disciplined material transfer, and investigation-ready documentation. This non-sterile cover/pad can support those programs when integrated into qualified procedures and zone controls (this is not a compliance claim by itself).
- Grade-driven selection: If your CCS specifies sterile tools for aseptic zones, use the sterile integrated cover/pad option rather than introducing non-sterile covers into Grade A/B workflows.
- Validated chemistry sequencing: Define the apply/remove sequence for disinfectants/sporicides (and any rinse step) to prevent residue buildup and streaking on stainless, glass, acrylic, and coated surfaces.
- Transfer discipline: Use double-bag introduction with defined peel paths. Do not stage opened bags in uncontrolled areas or reuse partially opened bags across rooms.
- Traceability: Document lot and area-of-use in cleaning logs where required so deviations can be investigated with supplier support and documentation.
Common failure modes
- Streaking / residue films: Usually from over-wetting, chemistry concentration drift, poor removal strokes, or incomplete rinse logic. Prevent with controlled wet-out, validated dilution, and unidirectional technique.
- Re-deposition: Happens when a cover is used beyond its defined coverage/soil load. Prevent with frequent change-outs and clean-to-dirty workflow.
- Cross-zone contamination: Caused by carrying covers between rooms/grades or staging opened bags on mixed-use carts. Prevent with zone dedication and point-of-use opening.
- Smearing on acrylic windows / viewports: Typically from excess IPA/solvent and fast wipe speed. Prevent with lighter wet-out and slower, overlapping strokes; allow dry time before re-wiping.
- Packaging compromise: Punctures or crushed bags can introduce debris. Prevent with protected storage and controlled transport.
Storage and handling best practices
- Keep covers in original double-bag packaging until the defined transfer step; avoid pre-opening to “save time.”
- Store in a clean, dry cabinet within your facility’s controlled storage area; protect from puncture, crushing, and wetting.
- Use FEFO controls based on date of manufacture / shelf-life rules in your receiving procedure.
- Train technicians to treat the cleaning face as a controlled surface: no contact with sleeves, benches, or carts before use.
