Has anyone used these? My father and my niece (they visit weekly) are allergic to cats and I am getting one in a few weeks. Since the cat is only going to be 16 weeks old, I figured I could get him used to being brushed once a week and wiped down with one of these wipes that they claim removed pet dander. I also have a HEPA filter on my vacuum that should help. I think you only have to use the wipes once a week since a 20 pack is supposed to be a "six month supply."

Thought it would be worth a shot but would love to hear from anyone that has used them.

A wet washcloth will work just as well.
A primary allergen is the residue left over from the saliva deposited when a cat grooms himself, and a daily wipe with a wet cloth can do wonders.

Please be cautious about any chemicals that may be in the wipes. A grooming routine is wonderful! We must remember that anything that goes on our kitties' fur, they will lick off and ingest.

I am allergic to cats...
After I brush Dexter & Sadie...
I wipe them down with damp paper towels,
that really helps if you do it daily.
