## Abstract

A wipe container that includes a cover member that has a cavity, at least one wipe received in the cavity of the cover member, a base member that has a fluid reservoir, and a partition that is disposed between the cover and base members. The cover member, the base member, and the partition are sealed together to create a perimeter seal. The partition creates a barrier between the wipe on one side and cleaner on the other side. The container can be introduced into a clean room. Just prior to use, the partition is split open so that the cleaner mixes with water on the wipes.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of loading a wipe container, comprising the steps of:
providing a container having a cover member, a base member, and a partition, the partition being a fluid impregnable membrane;
loading at least one wipe into a cavity of the cover member of the container;
sealing the partition between the cover member and the base member at a perimeter of each of the partition, cover member, and base member, thereby creating a seal around a perimeter of the container; and
filling an empty reservoir in the base member of the container with a fluid through at least one fill port in the seal.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of sterilizing the container.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of sealing the fill port.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the step of filling the reservoir includes aseptically filling the reservoir with the fluid.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the fluid is a cleaning fluid.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of the step of sealing the cover and base members includes heat sealing the cover and base members.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of pre-saturating the at least one wipe.

### Claim 8

A method of loading a wipe container, comprising the steps of:
loading one or more wipes into a cavity of a cover member of the container;
sealing a fluid impregnable membrane between the cover member and a base member of the container at a perimeter of each of the fluid impregnable member, the cover member, and the base member, thereby creating a seal around a perimeter of the container; and
filling an empty reservoir in the base member of the container with a fluid,
wherein the perimeters of the cover member, the base member, and the fluid impregnable membrane are sealed together at the same time and prior to filing the empty reservoir with the fluid.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of sterilizing the container after the fluid is filled in the reservoir of the base member of the container.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of sterilizing the container prior to filling the reservoir of the base member of the container.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein the step of filling the reservoir in the base member of the container with the fluid includes filing the reservoir with the fluid through a fill port provided in the seal.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein the fluid is cleaning fluid, the base member includes a puncture member configured to puncture the fluid impregnable membrane, and the cover member includes an opening for dispensing the one or more wipes.
