It is the proper practice to clean pipes and fittings prior to making solvent cement joints to ensure the correct bonding of components and retain the proper pressure capabilities of the pressure pipe system. The cleaning stage is important, it is not just about removing dirt, it is the preparation the component surface structures for the best bond.
Use these paper towelletes to clean and prepare the outside of the pipe and the inside of the socket thoroughly with the appropriate cleaner. PVC-U pipes may have a waxy surface, the cleaning process will remove this waxy appearance and the surface should appear matt to the eye to ensure proper jointing. Dependant on the consistency of your cleaner and the diameters of your pipe you may need a couple of towels. Do not use the same towel for the cleaning of multiple components, always use a fresh towel. Towels may be used in conjunction with the cleaner to remove excess cement after the joint has been made.
