Raising two children under the age of three, we go through A LOT of baby wipes on a daily basis. In fact, we keep a bag of wipes handy in just about every room of the house. Although we use wipes to change many diapers each day, I’ve found myself relying on baby wipes for cleaning up spills, children, toys, and so much more. Check out these 10 Ingenious Uses for Baby Wipes.
10 Ingenious Uses for Baby Wipes
1. Blowing noses: My kids prefer the softness to regular tissues.
2. Cleaning up spills: Use wipes to give your counters a once-over. They clean up spilled bottles and juice like a dream. Plus, they are more absorbent than a lot of paper towels.
3.聽Cleaning toys: Use baby wipes to clean fingerprints, food, and germs off of your children’s toys.
4. Getting spit-up out of clothes: Both of my babies have suffered from acid reflex. This means one thing: lots of spit-up. Thankfully, using wipes, I can blot the spit-up out of my clothes and kiss stains goodbye.
5. Cleaning your cell phone: Use wipes to scrub smudges and finger prints off of your cell phone.
6. Removing makeup: Because I have super sensitive skin, I have to be really careful when it comes to beauty products. I’ve found that using wipes to remove my makeup is not only more cost-effect, but it also is gentle enough for my skin.
7.聽Cooling drinks: Wrap a wet baby wipe around a warm can of soda or water bottle, stick it in the freezer, and it will cool off in half of the time.
8. Getting stains out of the carpet: Use wipes to scrub dirt and grime out of your carpet.
9. Wiping down the shopping cart: Before you put your little one into the shopping cart, quickly scrub the germs away using a baby wipe.
10. Sponge bathing while camping: The next time you head up into the mountains, be sure to bring a pack of baby wipes. These wipes are the perfect way to freshen up after spending the day in the dirt. Not only do they remove dirt like a charm, but they leave you smelling fresh and clean.
