The modern mom

1. Toys can easily pass on unwanted germs from child to child, especially if placed in the mouth. Regularly give toys a quick wipe down with a personal care wipe, and pop plastic ones in the dish washer once a month to ensure they are squeaky clean and sanitised.
2. Sticky little fingers have a special way of leaving marks on almost everything. Personal care wipes are an easy way to clean tacky fingerprints from glass surfaces like photo frames, tablet and phone screens, leaving them looking like new.
3. Personal care wipes are surprisingly useful for removing stains, particularly on clothes, microfiber furniture, and carpeting.It’s a cheap and cheerful stain remover trick that can save you time, money and your sanity.
4. Don’t forget to wipe down that trolley when doing the groceries, especially if your kids are going to be seated in the trolley. Food items like raw meat can leave traces of bacteria in high-touch spots that make your family vulnerable to contamination.
