What does WIPES mean in Scrabble?
noun
Small moistened sheets of cloth or paper, often treated with a cleansing agent, that are used to wipe something clean and then thrown away.
Wipes are sold as a convenient alternative to washing with soap and water, packaged so that a single sheet can be pulled out, used once and thrown away. Baby wipes let a parent clean a baby quickly without heating water or reaching for a flannel, while disinfecting wipes are used to clean kitchen surfaces or door handles in seconds. Makeup wipes and antibacterial hand wipes work on the same idea, combining a soft material with a liquid cleanser in one disposable sheet. Because each sheet is used once and discarded, wipes have also drawn criticism for the waste they create, especially when they are flushed and end up blocking drains.
