Using Waffletechnology® cleaning cards allows the user to achieve a more advanced clean, while actually decreasing cleaning frequency, which saves time and money.

The concept behind Waffletechnology® is very simple: achieve complete access to critical components within the equipment. Because optical lenses are rounded and most sensors are recessed, access cannot be achieved through the use of flat cleaning cards. The solution is very simple: design a card that is not flat. A large scale study at an Equipment Repair Center tested the effectiveness of Waffletechnology® Cleaning Cards and found that 78% of card reader terminals returned due to service failures were immediately functional after cleaning.

A regular cleaning routine is the best way to increase both operational efficiency and the longevity of the equipment while reducing service calls. Based on the manufacturers’ recommendations and customer feedback, we encourage the following best practices for optimal results:

Card Readers
Clean once per week. Clean more frequently after periods of high usage.


Dirty Devices
Clean more frequently after periods of high use or in areas subject to grease, lint, food particles, and grime. Failure to clean regularly can cause system failure, device downtime, and customer frustration.
