The History Behind SONO Wipes: From Healthcare Facilities to Homes Everywhere

Introduction

Every great product begins with a problem to solve. For SONO Wipes, that problem was found inside hospitals and medical facilities—where traditional disinfectants were damaging the very equipment they were meant to protect.

From that challenge grew a solution so effective and reliable that SONO Wipes are now trusted not only in healthcare facilities, but also in homes, schools, travel, and beyond.

This is the story of how SONO Wipes went from a healthcare innovation to a household essential.

The Origins: A Healthcare Problem

Having been in the ultrasound industry since 1998, the SONO team saw a recurring issue:

• Traditional disinfectants contained solvents like alcohol.
  

• While these products killed pathogens, they also damaged sensitive medical equipment and exam tables.
  

• This meant higher costs for facilities and more risks for patients.
  
  

This sparked the question: Could disinfectant wipes be created that killed germs effectively while protecting expensive medical equipment?

Developing a Solution

The SONO founders set out to solve this problem with a clear mission:

1. Develop a disinfectant wipe that worked against bacteria and viruses.
   

2. Ensure the formula was material-compatible, meaning it wouldn’t corrode or damage medical devices.
   

Through extensive testing, they created disinfectant wipes that not only disinfected but also protected both equipment and patients.

Becoming the Standard in Healthcare

It didn’t take long for SONO Wipes to gain trust in the medical field. Hospitals, clinics, and pregnancy centers quickly adopted them thanks to their:

• Effectiveness against germs
  

• Safety for medical devices
  

• Reputation for reliability
  

Soon, SONO Wipes became a standard across healthcare facilities, trusted by professionals and patients alike.

Expanding Beyond Hospitals

The qualities that made SONO Wipes indispensable in healthcare—effectiveness, safety, and reliability—made them just as valuable in everyday life. Today, SONO Wipes are used in:

• Homes — for cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces
  

• Travel — by airlines and passengers for peace of mind on the go
  

• Automotive — keeping shared vehicles safe and germ-free
  

• Schools & workplaces — ensuring healthier shared spaces
  

For larger areas like kitchens and offices, a disinfecting spray complements wipes and helps maintain cleaner environments.

Proudly Made in the USA

From the beginning, SONO Wipes have been manufactured in the USA, ensuring:

• Consistent product quality
  

• Strong supply chains
  

• Support for local jobs and communities
  

This commitment remains part of the SONO legacy.
