Great for pets and pollen
Scent: Baby Fresh, Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1)
I use these to wipe down the pets when they come back inside. These are especially useful during pollen season. You can see the pollen and/or dirt on the wipes. This is much better than having it all over the house. I love that they are unscented; I do not have to worry ablut these causing any irritation. They are moist enough to do the job without leaving the prts wet or with any residue. And, baby wipes are just as effective and MUCH cheaper than buying wipes that are marketed specifically for pets. 5 stars
