Why wipes do you all find good?

Using the aveeno ones at the moment and quite impressed

We use the Aldi version of water wipes. Pretty happy with them.

I find the proper water wipes too wet

Be eco friendly and use washable cloths.

How do you store dirty ones until you have enough to put a wash load on? And how do you disinfect your washing machine after?

Back in the day, I used Terry nappies for my babies. I stored them, nappies and flannels, in a bucket with some Milton until I had enough to fill a wash. A smaller bucket/bowl would be enough for flannels only. No need to disinfect washing machine when using Milton. This is much more environmentally friendly.

I’ve got the same issue with cleaning cloths for my house, how do I store them until I have a few. Will try this though, get a small bin and Milton or something.

would you need much Milton?

Make sure to use a plastic bowl/bucket and dilute Milton as per instructions.

Apart from being better for the environment, you’ll save a few €uro too.

If everyone makes one small change, we will all benefit, as will our children.

There’s no need to save cloths for a special wash. The Milton makes it safe to wash them in daily wash. Just make sure that you don’t have them in close proximity to things like jeans, etc!

How long should I leave them soak in the Milton MaryAnne?

and should I scrape the worst of the poo off before I soak them?

+1 for the Aldi wipes here too. We find them much better than all the rest

We just use cotton pads and water. Aldi sell the cotton pads.

I actually looked at those, how does washing them work?

Oh sorry, they're not washable. They're just cotton pads like one might use for removing make up, cleansing etc.

Baby has sensitive skin so we thought these would be better than even the water wipes plus there's no plastic in them.

I have a small basket next to my wash basket for reusable wipes (as I did when we used cloth nappies). We are potty training so there are a lot of soiled cloths and clothes! I shake off any poop, put them on a cold rinse first with other items containing body fluid (heat will set the stain), then I wash as normal with everything else. Once a month or so I do a 90° wash in an empty machine with white vinegar to clean the machine.

They soak in a water solution until the container is full, then we just throw them in the washing machine. The container has a washing machine bag as well so you just take out the inner bag and throw it straight into the washing machine.

You might find this old interest, OP. https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/fashionandbeauty/arid-40741239.html

We've been using cheeky wipes for years. They are so much better for cleaning bums than disposable wipes are, and obviously much cheaper and much better for the planet. Washing them is no bother at all. I would highly highly recommend. I hate using disposables now as you need sooooo many wipes to clean what would be done in just a couple of cheeky wipes. And the disposables are so thin that you can feel the poo on your fingers through them which grosses me out!

I haven’t seen these in our local Aldi for the last 3 weeks. Have you??

We've had trouble getting them alright. Managed to pick up a couple of packs last time they had them in. Lidl do similar but they've also been in short supply.
