Looking for a cloth wipes solution recipe...

I found this website called Zany Zebra Designs and they had a lot of different wipes solution recipes.  It got me thinking about your favorite homemade bum potion.  Please share...

Also wondering if one should do a clean water wipe/rinse after using the solutions.

Thanks Ladies!

    My personal wipe solution is 2.5 cups of water (I think that's how much fits in my wipe warmer), 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of baby wash, 3(ish) drops of tea tree oil.

    You can really just use warm water though..

    Oh, and no I don't do a clean water rinse after. I just dip my wipe in the solution, wipe and diaper.

    I couldn't use a recipe with soap in it.  Any soap residue left on my oldest son's bum would cause him to break out in an ecxema rash. 

    Here's what I use:

    (mix all ingredients in a disposable wipes container--fold cloth wipes to pop up out of container and lay wipes into solution)

    2 cups distilled water (we have a reverse osmosis system, so I use that water)

    2-3 oz aloe vera juice

    2-3 oz witch hazel

    2-3 drops tea tree oil  

    One week of using this solution cleared up my son's ecxema rash that he had for 6 months prior (we were using sposies and disposable wipes).  I swear by it.

    I fill up a spray bottle with water add a few (~3/4) drops of tea tree oil and 2 squirts of baby shampoo (California baby). shake and pour over wipes in a disposable wipes container. I usually have to put a bit more water since half of my wipes are flannel and soak up a lot of water.
