    We use them in the charity shop for wiping grubby book covers.
  • I think they are so good at breaking down food because of their proper purpose - think about what they are meant to clean up! I haven't used them for ages (since kids were babies) but recall that they were ace for getting most sticky foody marks off most surfaces. And the good cheap ones are just as effective as the good expensive ones!
  • I use them for everything. I try wipes first and if it doesn't work try something else. Most times wipes work first time. I use Pampers Sensitive as that is what we use for DGSs. Great for my make up - cheaper than make up remover wipes etc in Boots and kind to the eyes for eye make up.

    I bought some in Lidls by the way the other day BOGF. Stocked up for DD. They seem to come on offer there regularly.

    I use them for cleaning the telly, and then wipe over with a kitchen towel.

    I have also used them for cleaning the bumper of my car after my husband (no, really it was him!) clipped another car. We had some paint on our car from the other car and the baby wipe took it straight off. No expensive repairs for us :D
  • they are great for everything my youngest is now 3 1/2 and i still buy lots dont think i will ever not buy them too handy
