Let’s all be honest, we probably never really thought about buying baby wipes until we had children.
But now… we just can’t live without them, am I right? Most of us here are parents, and a lot of us have baby wipes. These are sooooo handy! Even though my children haven’t worn nappies for a long time, I still carry baby wipes in my bag for when we eat out of the house, to wipe grotty hands, to wipe up a mess.
But did you know they have so many more uses aside from wiping baby stains? Here are some amazing uses for baby wipes!
Cleaning Uses
- Great to remove fresh crayon or biro off walls.
- Fantastic to polish your chrome taps in the kitchen and bathroom.
- Baby wipes will blot up coffee spills from lounge suites or carpet if you get to it quickly.
- Great for wiping off the grease from your hands on your computer keyboard.
- Some of the fabric brands of baby wipes (like Huggies for instance) can be washed after use, and can be used as a duster or swiffer to pick up dust. Only reuse it if they weren’t used for something too nasty beforehand of course (that’s just gross!).
- Great for wiping over the dashboard and other surfaces in your car to get rid of scuffs and dust.
