The wipes go in w/ the cloth diapering laundry. I use a dry pail (meaning no soaking water) method and then on wash day, I throw them in the machine (diapers, wipes, & covers) and run this cycle:

hot rinse
hot long wash cycle w/ 1 Tbsp soap
cold rinse

Then to the dryer or line. And NO FABRIC SOFTENER (fabric softener repels rather than absorbs water…not a good thing ;) )

Sorry no links at this point…but glad you asked!

Just throw them in the washing machine? There must be more to this way of taking care of business. Post quick link of how these cloth wipes work from a practical standpoint and cleaning them.<br /><br />J Excuse me for perhaps being the male intruder but I can’t get by the basic question: how do you clean these romanticized cloth wipe thingies???

I just spent some time reading your precious Emily's story. I am moved to tears... what a beautiful testimony of a mother's genuine love. Thank you for sharing your heart, God is so good to bring brave mama's like you to touch the hearts of others who are hurting. I know you miss her very much. She is beautiful.<br /><br />God bless you.<br />~Erin<br />Taking Heart I wanted to stop by your blog after meeting you on your forum. I just spent some time reading your precious Emily’s story.

Thanks for sharing the idea about making your own wipes. As soon as I get my serger going again I've wanted to make some nursing pads, now I'll have to put baby wipes on the list. We have plenty of old tee shirts.<br /><br />This give-away got me on my blog again. THANK YOU! It's been so long since I've posted anything. And people will be expecting to see pictures of our baby who is due in 8 days.<br /><br />http://danandliz.wordpress.com/babys-room/<br /><br />I think that I would choose the medium size regular diaper.

I did cloth for awhile with two of my kids and I admit I used cloth wipes but, I don't sew. Not a good plan. Basicly they frayed a lot with each wash however they did work. I agree if you're using cloth diapers it's just as easy to have fabric wipes b/c then they all go in the same pale for washing.<br />Thanks for sharing. :) Those look nice.

If damp, do you store them in a soap solution or wet them as needed? About how many do you use per day? Do you wash them right away or save them all till the end of the week?<br />I guess I need the remedial course. :) Do you use them dampened or dry??

I must admit that I don't sew--that's the one homemaking thing that I do not do. <br />But I'm going to pass your post onto my younger sister who is expecting her first baby any day now and she is a whiz on the sewing machine and has her own surger (she got all the sewing genes in our family)<br /><br />I cloth diapered all 5 of my kids and used cloth wipes too. I kept them in one of those box wipe warmers on my changing table. Very handy. My water wipes solution changed over the years from very elaborate (several ingredients) to just a squirt of baby soap and water toward the end. If the water was going to be in there for more than 2 days, it would need a drop or two of vinegar or tea tree oil or something else with anti-fungal, anti-bacterial properties. Plus, I used the wipes for more than just wiping baby bottoms and faces--very handy little spill picker-uppers! ooooh. how fun! I must admit that I don’t sew–that’s the one homemaking thing that I do not do.

But with 5 kids now I hardly use them! I just cant keep up with the making of cloth wipe water or wetting them LOl. Do you run inot this problem as well?
