  • After use, dispose of the wipe via an approved macerator where available or in accordance with local waste-disposal guidelines; do not flush directly into toilets unless local instructions specifically permit.
  • Store the pack in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and ensure it is fully closed when not in use.
