  • Being WipeSmart

From bottoms to bathtubs, in your home or on the go,
wet wipes are an effective, easy to use and ​very convenient way to clean.

There you are, using a baby wipe on a dirty baby's bottom.
​Or cleansing with a facial wipe in front of the bathroom mirror.

You finish up, reach out and drop the wipe...

...in the toilet

...in the bin

In most cases, the answer should be bin.
Unfortunately, where wipes are used – and what they are used for – can encourage flushing. This can lead to problems!

Not all wet wipes are the same. Click the links to learn more about wipes.
