1. History of wet wipes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first wet wipes were invented in the United States. Arthur Julius patented the product in 1957 after he made changes to a soap portioning machine in his New York loft apartment. A year later, he trademarked his product, Wet-Nap. Arthur first created the wipes while working in the cosmetics industry; he intended to use them to improve skin hygiene and tighten pores.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it was in the 1960 National Restaurant Show that Arthur’s invention was presented to the public. At this time, he had worked with a mechanic to perfect the machine which produced his wipes. It was three years after inventing his wipe, Arthur sold the idea to Colonel Harland Sanders, who used it in his Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants. It was a perfect fit even though it was not what Arthur had initially intended for his product. For 25 years, KFC has distributed almost a billion wet wipes to customers.<\/span><\/p>\n
