My Three Favorite Cloth Wipe Solution Recipes

I started cloth diapering my two sons in June. At first I was going to just keep using disposable wipes but it was a hassle because every time i changed their diaper i would have to throw the wipes away and put the diapers in a pail that we have for them before we wash them. So I figured that I would start using cloth wipes as well and love it. For my cloth wipes I actually use baby wash clothes. I already had some that I didn't use and bought some off of amazon for $2 for a pack of 6. I now have like 60 some wipes and that is plenty since I wash the diapers every other day and the wipes go right in with them when I wash them. I make my own solution and put my wipes in a wipe warmer put in the wipes and add the solution.

Here are my three favorite recipes for cloth wipes solutions:



Basic Wipe Solution (this is the first solution that tried)

This basic recipe can be adapted by changing the type of soap or oil.
1/2 cup baby oil
1/2 cup baby wash
2 cups water




Castile Solution

Cloth Wipe Solution Recipes - Castile Soap
1 tablespoon almond, apricot, or other oil (I use coconut oil)
1 tablespoon Dr Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap (any scent)
2 drops tea tree oil
1 drop lavender oil
1 cup water


Olive 'n' Tea Tree
Cloth Wipe Solution Recipes - Olive Oil
1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin not necessary)
1/8 cup gentle baby bath
A few drops tea tree oil
