Where should the dirty side be after folding the wipe?

• A. Inside the fold
• B. Outside the fold
• C. On top of the wipe
• D. Wrapped around the wipe

Answer: (A)

When handling a wipe, the goal is to prevent contaminating yourself and the surroundings. Folding it so the dirty side is tucked inside keeps the contaminated portion away from the outer surface you’ll touch, leaving the outside clean for handling and disposal. This minimizes cross-contamination and makes it safer to manage the wipe as you work. If the dirty side were exposed outside the fold, it could transfer contaminants to surfaces, gloves, or skin. Placing the dirty side on top would still leave it exposed, risking spreading contamination, and wrapping around the wipe isn’t the standard practice and could trap contaminants. So, keeping the dirty side inside the fold is the correct approach.
