There is no great way to tell an adult that they need to wipe their ass. It's an uncomfortable conversation no matter what. You can try and beat around the bush and make the conversation about general hygiene, but then you run the risk of confusion, which will have to be followed up by a second conversation to remedy it.
Expect the person to be embarrassed and/or to deny that there is a problem. Do it at the end of the day, just before the person leaves, so they don't have to think about it in front of you for the rest of the day. If you have another person (preferably a woman), who can sit in, it's not bad to have validation (just make sure you discuss your approach together before hand).
Think about how you'd want to be told about a hygiene issue...
