Not baby wipes, but all-purpose-family-wipes:



a few drops of jojoba oil

a couple drops of tea tree oil

enough water to moisten



I use the select-a-size wipes; hubby cuts a roll in

half with his Guy Saw <g> - easier than my serrated

bread knife. I use a Rubbermaid container I bought just

for this purpose, into which I cut a small (think piggy bank)

slot) on the lid. We all use these all the time, and they

have the added benefit - at least for us - of repelling insects,

at least a few. Most bugs don't like tea tree.



Cindy

that's what i use on my son's butt they are great and cheap just use

the good paper towels and not hte cheapies they act like toliet paper

LOl I use 2 tbs of baby oil, 2 tbs of antibactrial soap and 2 cups of

warm water. with 1/2 of the paper towels.

I like mixing distilled or boiled water with 1 T. of quality baby shampoo and 1 T. baby oil. I purchase baby wipes from the Stork Warehouse, which is a WAHM who lives in my area. She has really nice high quality cloth. An idea is to keep the water in a small spray bottle and spritz it on the cloth wipes. (I do this if they are wet only, we do cloth diaper but I just can't with the wipes). You could also use the high quality paper towels and spritz them before using. I found the bounty paper towel recipe to be too wet and it got nasty after awhile. Nicole


Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links.

When my kids were that age I used the Bounty select-a-size paper towels (only when on sale) or cut regular paper towels in 1/2. For the mix I used water, baby oil, and a few drops of dish soap. I just remembered to shake up the container before using them and they worked fine.

Hi all,

What is your favorite wipe "recipe"?I found several on this site
and used the one with the anti-bac soap.I've read that using the
anti-bac in the "mix" will allow the wipes to last longer.However,
this made very wet wipes and they irritated Jolie's bottom.

TIA,

Jill 8-)

Where do you find the essential oils? Are they pricey?


Thanks!
