uses for wetwipes

don't use them on your face as a cleanser or to remove make-up - they make your skin crawl and sting, makes you wonder why you use them on baby's bottom really.
bit of a female comment, but i find i carried on using wipes in the bathroom long after my boy grew up, for freshening up at certain times of the month. oh, and for cleaning windows and sills quickly, and for wet-dusting but not on glass because they leave smears. on the leather sofas, car inside etc. too.
i use one pack a week for baby though, but he's lactose intolerant and his milk means his nappies are still like newborn ones.52% tight0 -
They are excellent for getting dirt off your keyboard too.
My work give everyone a pack of wipes instead of the expensive specialty wipes you can get.

Best thing every invented
Great at cleaning the top of coookers if you have had a spillage
However I'd be stocking up if they are on BOGOF as you are going to need loads - they last for ages if stored properlyI want to...........?0 -
I use baby wipes for everything and my kids are 8 and nearly 10! LOL
They wipe their mucky faces and hands with them, I clean the top of the bowl of the toilet with them, clean the top of the cistern, clean the window sills, clean the marks OH makes on my desk with his coffee cup, wipe mucky finger prints off walls and doors, wipe shoes over with, infact I can't remember the last time I used a duster and polish!
Also like Jellyhead has said, they are good to use for a quick freshen up

i use them on my (quite sensitive) face and they are fab ,we have tesco (not value ) ones
my youngest is almost 4 and we still buy them every week lol
keep a pack in each car and one in the bathroom and one downstairs
use them on grubby hands / faces / laminate floor / trainers etc
used to use them on my leather sofa all the time (as they seemed to clean better than those expensive leather wipes and bigger too!)but apparently thats not good as over time it weakens the leather or summat
so now i use a microfibre cloth instead and buff with a dry one

I use them for absolutely everything as well!
Top tip!!! - always store the packet upside down it stops the top ones in the packet from drying out.

I don't think I'll ever stop buying wipes now, I use them for so many things other than wiping bums lol. One great use not mentioned yet is for cleaning up little spills when potty training. Now dd's dry in the day but not at night (33 months) I use them to give her a freshen up in the morning if there's no time for a bath.£2 savers club - £62
Relaunched grocery challenge:
March target: £150 on food, £50 on other stuff - still not doing very well at keeping track...

Whatever you do don't flush them down the loo in the bathroom-you'll end up with a huge plumbers bill when they have to unblock your loo.
I can sympathise with the newborn nappies, my daughters are still like this at times & she is 2.5 (& also lactose intollerant). We use tons on her face, hands & bum.
I go through tons of wipes, I did use them for dusting but didn't actually like them that much, I use them for cleaning my leather couch & we also always have a packet in the car.0 -
I thought I'd moneysave and use them to remove my makeup - they didn't !jellyhead wrote:don't use them on your face as a cleanser or to remove make-up - they make your skin crawl and sting, makes you wonder why you use them on baby's bottom really..0 -
