antibacterial wipes

Germ-killing disposable sheets

Antibacterial wipes are pre-moistened disposable cloths treated with chemicals that kill or inhibit bacteria.

They're used to clean hands, surfaces, or objects when soap and water aren't available: Keep antibacterial wipes in your car for quick cleanups.

The term is sometimes used interchangeably with disinfecting wipes, though antibacterial specifically targets bacteria rather than viruses or fungi.
