Our Pre-saturated wipes come in two formats: 100-count canisters or individually pouched. These wipes permit quick, convenient, hassle-free cleaning and sanitizing of external equipment and hard surfaces. The individually pouched format works well for field service technicians while canisters are great to have on hand in the storage room. ClearDisplayTM, IPA, and DiSantech® disinfectant are appropriate for sensitive touchscreens, monitors, displays, and external cleaning of hard surfaces. SheerDeviceTM wipes were specifically engineered for heavy-duty grease, dirt, and oily environments – restaurants, fast food establishments, and gas stations find them very effective.

KIC has engineered a number of cleaning agents for cleaning technology. It is important to use the correct cleaning and disinfecting agent for each application. MiracleMagicTM is effective for cleaning the internal components of cash automation technology (ATMs, bill/note validators, bill acceptors, and coin counters) while ClearDisplayTM, IPA, and DiSantech® disinfectant are appropriate for external cleaning.

Dry Wipers and Microfiber Cloths are typically used with our bottles of cleaning and disinfecting agents. You should never spray the agents directly on your equipment. Direct spray risks forcing the fluid behind bezels, behind keys, and into the electronic components which can easily damage them.

We have a number of useful tools and applicators to make cleaning your devices even more effective. KICPads are excellent for tough, stuck on dirt and debris. KICTeam’s Swisel®, with a soft swab end and a scraping chisel on the other, is wonderful for getting into tight spaces. Our swabs work well for cleaning keypads, keyboards, and other in-between spaces where a gentle scrub is needed.
