I was recently given this question to answer: What will you use Wet Ones® hand wipes for this summer?

Of course, almost every frozen treat is sticky, and you're going to need to clean yourself and your kids after enjoying a delicious vanilla orange ice pop!

Wet Ones® Hand Wipes are a convenient way to keep the kids, the ice pops AND the sticky fingers outside.

Just bring along the Wet Ones® Hand Wipes when the treats are served; kids can get cleaned up without touching doorknobs, faucets, tables, chairs or everything else they'd happen to put their fingers on!

I had picked up a canister of Wet Ones® Hand Wipes yesterday at Walmart, and I cracked it open today while Haiden and Piper were having their orange vanilla ice pops. I'm still a little surprised by how wet the wipes are!

I'm a Minnesota mom, which means we need to take full advantage of every sunny and warm day that comes our way. Summer just doesn't last that long in our neck of the woods!

In addition to pools, sprinklers, bubbles and other outdoor activities, popsicles are a key tradition in enjoying a Minnesota summer. Even when Haiden and Piper were toddlers, a sticky, sweet frozen popsicle was a near-daily treat when temperatures started rising.

I'm not going to lie: the frozen ice pops from the store are the ones that are enjoyed most frequently in our house. But sometimes I'm in the mood for a popsicle, too. The difference is that I want something with more complex flavors and less artificial colors 🙂

These vanilla-infused fresh orange ice pops are absolutely delicious. They taste quite a bit like an Orange Julius and I think they're even more refreshing than the classic drink!

After treating the kids to a Popsicle, I let them clean their sticky hands with Wet Ones® Hand Wipes.

I guess I'm used to other types of wipes, because I thought the Wet Ones would be more of a temporary fix between a sticky treat and the sink. I didn't expect a single hand wipe to eliminate the need for soap and water after Piper finished her ice pop!

In addition to controlling both expected and unexpected messes, all Wet Ones kill 99.99% of germs. With their cleaning power and antibacterial properties, these wipes work better and do much more than liquid hand sanitizers!

I usually have some sort of wipes with me to help clean up messes when we're on the go, but I'm pretty sure I'll be using to Wet Ones now given how well they work to get my kids back to the clean, germ-free condition that I prefer.

I'm already thinking that I need to get one canister for my car, one for my husband's car and some of the individual packets for my purse.

I have no doubt that they'll come in handy while we're on the go with the kids, and I'm also pretty positive that I'll be using them even when Haiden and Piper aren't around!
