Best Cat Cleaning Wipes for 2020

When your cat doesn’t like baths or dry shampoo foams but you don’t like single-use wipes and products, it can be hard to find something which makes you both happy.

Pogi’s wipes are a firm favourite amongst those who need something really up to the job, but also are concerned about the effect which wipes have on the planet. Biodegradeable, the Oeko-Tex sustainably harvested bamboo base allows these wipes to break down quickly when in the landfill.

They are free of parabens, alcohol, fragrances, chlorine and harsh chemicals too so won’t damage either your cat’s skin or the environment.

They are a great answer to those in-between bath messes, but they are also large and thick enough to be used as the primary cleaning method. You can purchase them in a fragrance-free finish, or Green Tea Leaf scented in case your feline needs help with a bit of a pong too. Opt for the perfume-free option if you feel they may want to lick it off.

If you are wondering whether wipes are really going to tackle your cat’s cleanliness, then these tough-acting wipes could be the pick.

They are dual-sided, extra strong and contain a unique shampoo formulation which is no-rinse. This does the job of a proper shampoo session but just without the water, sink and scratched arms.

The packet contains 20 wipes, and they can be used on your cat from the age of 12 weeks if you want to start getting them used to the sensation and grooming schedule. They smell really nice so will leave your cat fully fresh, and there is a rough side which can get rid of hair.

When you are after some wipes for the more sensitive parts of your cat, they need to be perfume and shampoo free as well as being powerful enough to do the job.

The ingredients are largely natural, with witch hazel to act as a natural cleanser and aloe vera to retain moisture in the skin. It is sensitive enough for both eyes and ears, and as they fit naturally on your finger, it is great for control.

They are designed for groomers to use, so you know they will be safe for home use too.

Hypo-allergenic so great if your kitty has issues with their skin or fur, these wipes are natural and sensitive enough to use on kittens over 12 weeks old with their gentle formulation.

The coconut cleanser gently lifts away dirt, dust, pollen and anything else which may have been picked up by your feline friend. They’re fragrance-free so your cat won’t wonder what it is which is left on their fur and try to remove it, and they don’t leave any residue behind either.

Each wipe is quite large, so you should be able to cover the entire body with one rather than using a few every time.

These wipes don’t just contain green tea leaves for a fresh-smelling cat at the end of every grooming schedule, but also awapuhi. If you’re wondering what that is, it is actually an ingredient praised by human hairdressers too.

It is a close sibling of edible ginger, leaving a long-lasting effect on fur both in terms of scent and conditioning properties. The wipes themselves can remove pet dander and saliva build-up, which are two of the biggest causes of allergies in cats.

The wipes come in a plastic box, with a flip lid which seals well in place. If you often struggle to keep wipes moist as you only need one every so often, this could be a good answer. Importantly they are also flea treatment compatible.

Does your cat look clean, but smell far from it? A wipe such as these with Byotrol will help to not only remove any unseen grime but also leave them smelling a lot nicer than when they came inside.

Byotrol removes 99.9% of all bacteria, so while a lot of other wipes simply just mask the problem with a strong scent, these get rid of what is causing the issue. It also provides a long-lasting barrier, so they are less likely to pick any future smells up either.

If you brush the cat before use, the wipes can collect up any hairs which are left behind. They leave a nice shine on the fur so they get that fresh just-groomed look too.

These allergy relief wipes contain the Byotrol which deodorises and removes bacteria build up on the fur of your cat, but also help if your cat has allergies from things such as pollen or dust.

They remove the allergens from the fur and skin and also work to form a protective barrier to limit the amount which can go be picked up again. They are completely natural, so there is a good chance your cat won’t be allergic to anything in the ingredients list either, although they do contain Polyaminopropyl Biguanide so check with a vet first.

Cleaning and deodorising, these wipes are infused with aloe vera and vitamin E to keep the skin and fur fresh and hydrated.

They remove all of the daily dirt and smells, whether it be mud from exploring in the garden or just day-to-day build up if they can’t clean themselves. Vet-approved, they’re not only safe to use but also won’t interfere with any spot flea treatment applications.

Each wipe is quite thick so should be all you need for a full-body clean. The fresh scent left behind isn’t too powerful, but still makes enough of an impact to ensure they are a lot better than their pre-wipe state.

The tub they come in is easy to reseal and keeps them nice and moist.

Not only will these wipes make your cat smell like fresh pineapple, but they are fab at both dealing with and combatting shedding too.

The slightly rougher texture can get rid of any loose hairs so they are gathered up and don’t end up as furballs or all over your sofa. They’re pH balanced, so even if your cat goes to lick it off as they aren’t used to smelling so nice, it won’t harm them if ingested.

It is worth mentioning they won’t be for every cat. The smell is quite strong so not great if they don’t like fragrant smells, and while it can pick up loose hairs they do struggle on cats which shed a particularly large amount.

Hypo-allergenic, these wipes are perfect for removing dead hair and skin from your cat without bathing. They leave fur looking shiny and fresh.

The wipes are gentle and soft, so good for ears, around eyes and paws too. There are no harsh chemicals, and the smell is pretty neutral so they won’t be put off by the experience.

They aren’t the largest wipes of all those reviewed, but they are quite thick and strong so one wipe should cover most of your cats cleaning. With water embellished touch, they are moist enough to remove the dirt without making your cat uncomfortable.
