cleansing wipes

Moist throwaway towelettes

Cleansing wipes are pre-moistened disposable cloths used to clean skin, surfaces, or objects.

They come saturated with various solutions depending on purpose—makeup remover, baby wipes, antibacterial wipes, screen wipes.

The convenience of single-use cleaning has made them ubiquitous, though environmental concerns about their disposal have grown: The city's sewers were clogged with cleansing wipes that didn't break down.
