Color automatically fades

Wipe Technique

Darker streaks

Missed coverage

Good technique

Poor technique

Tip: Good technique requires coverage and friction. Spreading out the color evenly makes sure friction is happening.

Color Residue Troubleshooting: Partial fading

Cause: If small streaks of color remain and the surface has completely dried:

• Poor wiping technique

• Highlight adhering to dirt/sticker residue

Solution: • To wipe with good technique, fold wipe in half and spread color evenly

• Use elbow grease to remove dirt/sticker residue

Color Residue Troubleshooting: No fading

Cause: If none of the color fades and the surface has completely dried:

• Not using quat wipes (bleach, peroxide, etc.)

• Quat wipes have dried out

Solution: • Grab a fresh canister of quat wipes Check expiration date

Color Residue Troubleshooting: Crevices/Same Spots

Cause: If color remains in crevices or the same parts of the surface repeatedly:

• Dirt/grime is stuck in crevices

• Surface is old/porous and absorbing color

Solution:

• Use elbow grease to remove dirt/grime and crevices will no longer stay blue

• If surface is porous, it may be harboring pathogens. Use blank quat wipes to remove color (see next slide)

How to Make Highlight Easy and Effortless

1. It’s common for people to experience partial fading (small streaks) in the beginning. Don’t be discouraged!

2. Disinfect room normally and allow time for color to fade away.

3. At the very end of room cleaning, push side buttons to open Lid and grab a blank/uncolored quat wipe.

4. Do an inspection of the room, using the blank quat wipe to dab any small streaks away.

Retraction of Wipes

After 5 minutes of inactivity, wipes will get retracted back into the Lid to prevent drying.

Tip: Press the “Dispense” button to get a new wipe.

Time = 0 min
