One of the things you might not be looking forward to about grilling and barbecue this summer is that it can be messy. When I was shopping at Fred Meyer for ingredients I also picked up some supplies to clean up. New Kleenex® Wet Wipes Gentle Clean  are a new product for cleaning your hands and face (and trust me, my husband and I needed them!). They are found in the facial tissue isle. They are thick and soft and perfect for adults who need to clean up after a messy meal. You’ll want to bring these to your next barbecue or picnic. They help you clean up your messy fingers and face with no harsh chemicals.
