No more chemical-laden, expensive store bought wipes.
Using a serrated knife, cut the roll of towels in half. In the Tupperware, mix about 2/3 cups of warm water, about two tablespoons of baby wash (you decide if you need less, more makes everything sticky) and a tablespoon of oils and 1/2 a tablespoon of baking soda. Mix until the soda disappears. Now, take the towels and rip the cardboard inner sleeve out, it unwinds.
The recipe isn't in concrete, depending on who or what it's for, you can amend it. I would not recommend essential oils for babies because of irritation. This is great to wipe off puppy paws and keep in the car for sticky fingers. Just pull the towels from the center and re-use the receptacle over and over!

My daughter has very sensitive skin and gets a rash easily, so I make my own wipes. I use 1-2 cups water, 1 tsp. - 1 Tbsp. liquid baby soap and 1 tsp. - 1 Tbsp. baby oil. I use Bounty paper towels, cut in half. I mix it in a round covered tub or an old round wipe container., drop in the towels, cover and turn upside down.
It's so much better to use homemade wipes. I use cloth diapers all the time and it just makes sense to use cloth wipes too. At first I was using throw away wipes but I got a rash on my hands when I touched them. I didn't want anything against my daughter's'skin so I just use cheap washcloths and plain water. I got 30 cloths at Walmart for $5.00 and that was 6 months ago. I haven't tried using baby oil and liquid soap but if it works, that's great, maybe I'll try it!
remember dont flush these wipes as they are made from paper towels.
