I'm in the process of getting some cloth wipes, and I was wondering... what do you use with yours?

With the ones that were in the hirekit, I just used tap water but I was starting to think that some sort of wipes solution might be in order...

So what do you use?

I just use water but some people no add a little Tea Tree oil to them too. I would say had few drops to water and keep in a container like those huggies pop up ones.

I ususally just use water but you can also add a tablespoon of baby body wash and tablespoon of vegetable oil to the water.

i used to use water with tea tree oil in it, but now i use water with some baby shampoo/wash and a squirt of baby oil in it. it makes the water softer somehow, and is definately softer on the skin then before.

We wet a few face cloths at a time and store them in a huggies pop up container. Works really well.

Theres a recipe that goes something like
400 mls boiling water, 1 tbs baby oil and bodylotion and you pour it over your paper towels to make them into homemade wipes. I used it on a pile of johnsons baby liners and use them to clean up messes with - in a huggies pop up container! Otherwise its just plain water
