during which the surface will not necessarily remain wet but the disinfectant will be active.

Cleaning only removes dirt and keep the surface visibly clean, but not necessarily kill the germ. Disinfection will ultimately kill the germ and leaves the surface free from becoming an infection source.
What is Avywipes mechanism of action?
The mechanical action of the wipe enhances the level of disinfection by removing soil and bioburden to allow the disinfectant to act directly on the surface. The soil and bioburden collected on the wipe are then killed by the disinfectant that remains on the wipe. The liquid released from the wipe still contains the active ingredients at sufficient levels to ensure the disinfection levels stipulated.
