Even though my youngest baby isn’t a baby anymore, that doesn’t mean that I am willing to say goodbye to  baby wipes. We still use them almost daily for other things around the house, from personal hygiene to cleaning.

You may have noticed that I am not a big fan of unnecessary ingredients and chemicals so for years I have used wet cloths, but then I discovered WaterWipes. WaterWipes are chemical free baby wipes from Europe that are made of 99.9% purified water and 0.1% grapefruit seed extract. Grapefruit seed extract is great for all kinds of all-natural cleaning and is something that I use fairly often anyway.

Now I have the convenience of baby wipes with the natural ingredients that I prefer. They are also easy to find at a Target location near you in the baby wipes aisle. 

25 (other) uses for baby wipes

For the kids

Maybe it’s because I have boys, but I have found that my kids are even messier once they get beyond the baby stage. These are just some of the ways that I use baby wipes to keep the kids clean:

• washing faces and hands after a meal
• wiping hands after playing outside
• cleaning food and dirt off the front of their shirt
• wiping down a high chair tray
• cleaning marker and paint off hands
• nose wipes
• cleaning face paint or Halloween makeup

Personal hygiene

I keep a pack of WaterWipes in the basket on the back of my toilet to take care of personal hygiene necessities for myself or the kids. 

• wiping off makeup
• a final clean-up after using the toilet (note that WaterWipes are not flushable)
• wiping my cat‘s chin and neck after his meds
• wiping hair dye off skin
• freshen up when showers are unavailable (camping, etc.)
• removing deodorant marks from a shirt
• tame fly-away hair

For the home

We collect vintage Little People which can be pretty dirty after finding them at yard sales, the thrift store, even online. For this, I almost always use Water Wipes baby wipes. 

• cleaning toys
• spot cleaning sinks and counters
• wiping off the dashboard of the car
• cleaning doors, especially around doorknobs
• wipe down handles, grocery carts, and restaurant high chairs
• cleaning smartphone and tablet screens from fingerprints
• cleaning that small area of the faucet knob where thicker cleaning cloths don’t fit
• wipe scuffs and dirt off shoes
• dusting cloths (especially after they’ve dried out)
• wipe down library book covers
• clean dry erase boards and chalkboards

This is just a few of the many ways to use WaterWipes even if you no longer have babies in the house. How do you use baby wipes in your home?
