Cloth Wipes Storage Container

Cloth wipes are a game changer! They’re softer on your baby’s skin, reusable (so you’re saving money 💰), and much more eco-friendly than disposable wipes. Each time you use a cloth wipe, you’re helping reduce waste that would otherwise end up in landfill. 🌍

Plus, they’re super effective at cleaning up messes – one cloth wipe can often do the job of multiple disposable ones. Whether you’re at home or out and about, they’re a reliable and sustainable option for keeping your little one clean and fresh!

It really depends on how often you plan to use them and how often you'll wash them. For full-time use (including nappy changes, face wiping, and general clean-ups), we recommend starting with around 30-40 wipes. This should give you enough to last a couple of days between washes.

If you're using them causally for nappy changes, 20 wipes might be enough. You can always adjust based on your routine, but it’s always handy to have a few extras for those unexpected messes! 😉

It’s totally up to you! You can store your cloth wipes wet (pre-dampened) or dry, depending on what works best for you.

If storing them wet:

Simply dampen your wipes with water or a wipe solution, wring them out so they're not dripping, and store them in a container or wet bag. This is super convenient as they’re ready to use straight away. Just remember to only prep enough for 2-3 days to avoid them getting smelly or mouldy.

If storing them dry:

Keep your wipes dry and use a spray bottle of water or wipe solution to dampen them as needed. This option avoids worrying about wipes sitting wet for too long, and you can carry dry ones easily when you’re out and about.

Both methods work perfectly, so it comes down to what’s easier for your routine!

Option 1: Pre-wet them

• Dampen your wipes with water or a wipe solution before heading out and pop them into a small wet bag.
• This way, they’re ready to use straight away—perfect for quick changes or sticky hands.

Option 2: Keep them dry

• Pack dry wipes in one section of your wet bag, and take a small spray bottle of water or solution with you.
• This is great if you’re not sure how many you’ll need, as they’ll stay fresh and dry until you use them.

Used wipes? No problem!

• Pop the dirty ones in the wet compartment of your wet bag (it’ll keep smells and moisture contained).

Simple, mess-free, and reusable—you’re all set!

Not necessarily! Plain water works brilliantly with cloth wipes, especially for delicate baby skin. If you want to add a little something extra, here are a few ideas:

Keep it Simple:

• Plain water: Perfect for sensitive skin and super easy to use.

Add a bit of extra something:

• Wipe solution: You can DIY your own with a mix of water, and a splash of baby-safe liquid soap.

Whatever you choose, make sure it’s gentle and baby-safe, and always test new ingredients on a small patch of skin first. 🌱

Wet cloth wipes are best used within 2-3 days to keep them fresh and avoid any chance of mould or unpleasant smells.

Here are some tips to store them safely:

Keep them in a sealed container or wet bag to maintain moisture and prevent contamination.

Don’t make too many at once—just prep enough for a day or two.

If you notice any musty smell, it’s time to give them a wash and start fresh!

If you want wipes ready to go but don’t want to worry about storage time, consider keeping them dry and dampening them as needed. 😊
