30 uses for baby wipes that DON’T include changing a nappy

So much more than bottom wipers

I don’t know about you but I would be lost without baby wipes – they are SO incredibly handy.

I didn’t really use them before I was a mum, but now I can’t imagine life without them – I use them for all sorts of things. In fact, if you’re only using them to clean your baby’s bum, well, you’re missing out on a whole world of wiping opportunities.

Here are 30 other ways to make baby wipes work…

  1. Freshen up on the go.
  2. Use them to blow your nose (they’re softer than tissues).
  3. Remove make-up.
  4. Clean pet’s faces and paws.
  5. Remove deodrant marks from dark clothes.
  6. Wipe screens.
  7. Clean keyboards.
  8. Buff up the bathroom.
  9. Shine shoes.
  10. Put in the fridge to use on a hot day.
  11. Put on the end of your finger to clean ears.
  12. Clean leather sofas.
  13. Use dry wipes to clean glasses / sunglasses.
  14. Wipe pen off photographs.
  15. Recycle as dust cloths.
  16. Mop up spills.
  17. Clean the car – outside and in.
  18. Tame fly away hair.
  19. Wipe away fake tan marks.
  20. Use as a toilet roll substitute.
  21. Clean car seats and high chairs – seats and straps.
  22. Clean buggies – including the wheels.
  23. Clean toys.
  24. Wipe nail varnish off fingers or toes after a mani or pedi.
  25. Baby accident (puke and poo) cleaning.
  26. Speed cleaning the house.
  27. Cleaning light switches.
  28. Removing sand.
  29. Washing hands if there’s no water nearby.
  30. Let your toddler use a wipe to help you clean (they love it).
