Baby wipes

I've got loads of packets of baby wipes as I had a load of Tesco extra points coupons.
Obviously I'll use them on the baby's bottom, and her sticky hands and mouth once she starts feeding (next couple of weeks).
I've also discovered they are great for cleaning baby sick off the carpet.
Anyone got any other uses for baby wipes?

they're pretty versatile aren't they, ive used them to wipe down paintwork with sticky fingermarks on them,
also used them to give myself a little freshen up at work (work nights),
childrens school shoes(when you realise how filthy they are and don't have time to polish them ion the mornings),
wiping down whitegoods (fridgefreezer especially),
also good for giving the toilet seat a bit of a clean (you can buy special wipes for this job but theyre quite expensive)
wiping bin lids down,
also been known to use them to clean my Venetian blindBring back mark and lard NOW! or else (please) clique member no. 10 :j

they will clean pretty much anything (See snails pace's list!) Also add make up removal when you can't be bothered doing it properly! the cars dashboard and so on and so on (By the time LO doesn't need them any more you will miss them!)Only two big facts are known for certain: you are on a large, spinning rock hurtling through lonely space at about 67,000 mph, and one day your body is going to die. Will a new pair of shoes really help?

If they are the type with lanolin in, they are very good for cleaning leather.
A friend of mine (big hairy biker) swears by them for his leathers.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Cleansing/Make-up removal.
Don't flush them down the loo, though!0 -
I have a little plastic box that I keep in my handbag with 6 or 7 baby wipes folded inside. As I travel a lot in the Underground and on buses due to my work, there are times during the day when I feel the need to freshen up my hands and face so out come the wipes, and after this I use them to dust off my shoes if need be. Hey presto, a squeeky clean and presentable Quasar!Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.0

make up removal, 'freshen up' wipes for me, cleaning shoes, cleaning spectacles (fantastic for that), keyboards, desks......pretty much anything !!
I keep them in my car, and before my 2 and 1/2 hour drive home I take off all my eye make up and my eyes get far less sore and irritated while I'm driving.0 -
I second all the uses already mentioned. I keep a pack in the car to clean the leather seats (cheaper than the "proper" leather wipes), they also get used to clean sticky fingerprints off the telly screen (buff with a tissue or clean cloth afterwards to remove the lanolin) and they remove crayon from paintwork/varnish! Just the thing with my 3yo!0
