towelettes

Disposable cleaning squares

Towelettes are small, pre-moistened disposable cloths, typically packaged individually in sealed packets.

They're designed for quick cleaning when soap and water aren't available: The flight attendant handed out hot towelettes before the meal.

Common varieties include baby wipes, makeup remover towelettes, and the lemon-scented cloths served at seafood restaurants.
