Whether it's dust accidentally rubbed on your skin, mud hid between your fingers, or a few drops of soup accidentally dripped on the table, you can take it away with a wipe.

5. Throw away the used wipes immediately and keep them away from children. If the child accidentally puts the wipes in the mouth or has swallowed the liquid in the wipes, immediately let the child rinse the mouth to rinse the remaining liquid from the wipes in the mouth. Take your child to a doctor if necessary.
