Cloth wipe solution

emandjp

Hi ladies!! I'm thinking about switching to cloth wipes and was hoping you would have some tips as to what you use for the solution. Now that Charlotte eats solids twice a day, her poop is OH SO smelly and I'd like a little something extra to clean her off. We've been using 7th generation chlorine/fragrance free since birth but I feel like she's not getting clean enough. 

Also, as far as washing them goes, do I spray them off just like her dirty dipes before washing?? 

Thanks ladies!!

We mostly just use water, but I do like the spray bumgenius has...as for your 2nd question...no clue!

I uses a dab of baby shampoo in water. I'm thinking of adding some EOs soon, but that works well so far and cleans her without irritating her.

I buy wipes solution for my cloth wipes. I used to use applecheeks spray, now I use washy wafer by Sheepish Grins. You just dissolve the disc in hot water. I put some in a spray bottle for the diaper bag, the rest I pour over my wipes in a container at each change area.

I make my own solution with water, coconut oil, and tea tree oil. I keep the bottle of solution in the wipe warmer, so I can wet individual wipes as needed and the coconut oil stays dissolved. 

With the peanut butter consistency poo, I usually try to wipe off most of the solid mess with her diaper before I wipe to avoid having to spray off the wipe. Most of the time the wipes don't get a lot of solid matter on them & I just throw them in the pail.

I do a mix of 2c water, 1T olive oil, 1T baby wash, & few drops of TTO.

I either use plain water or use Ruby Moon Wipe Bits to make a solution.

If the wipe has chunks, I spray or swish it, otherwise, it just goes straight into the wet bag.

Water with a squirt or two of CA Baby wash in a peri bottle.

I use the diaper to wipe off most of the solid mess.  If any happens to get on a wipe I will spray it, but I think I've only sprayed wipes, like, twice.

We just use water with a drop or two of tea tree oil.

We just use water.  Although I do have some TTO that I may add at some point.

We have always just used water.  I spray off the wipes before washing.

Thanks ladies! I was thinking of doing water with a few drops of TTO but I wasn't sure.
