A staple in most nurseries is a box of baby wipes. Mothers don't want to be without them, but did you know that baby wipes are perfect for cleaning other items around the house? What's more, they're also handy to keep in the car for trips and car clean-ups.
- Leather shoes Wipe over shoes to clean and polish (figure A).
- Sequined clothes Use the wipes to clean underarm stains and freshen around the neckline (figure B). Wipe gently and allow the clothing to dry.
Lipstick, medicated ointment or lip balm on fabric Moisten the area with the wipe, then dab over the stain to remove (figure C).Small stains on cushions and carpet Wipe away, while gently pushing down into the fabric and stain (figure D).
Tip: If the container of wipes become too dry, mix together 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon baby oil and pour into the container. Making sure the container is sealed, turn it over several times, letting it sit for several minutes with each turn, to distribute the liquid through the wipes.Tip: Fill a spray bottle with 2 cups water, a squirt of dish soap and a tablespoon of lemon juice. After the baby eats, spray the solution on the chair and tray to clean up food and drink spills. Microfiber cloths are also good to use around babies since they clean with just water; you should stay away from strong cleaners that contain chemicals. A baby's skin is delicate and can absorb chemicals, so it's best to only use safe, natural cleaners in your environment.
