Home made baby wipe solution

Hey there, 
We just switched to cloth diapering.  So far so good.  I want to take it one step further and use cloth wipes as well.  Anyone make their own solution?  I heard adding in some coconut oil would be good...is this the same stuff you would buy at a grocery store?  Also heard essential lavender oil is good, where should i get that? Anyone have a good recipe? Or a good website that's not too confusing?  Thanks in advanced.

    2c water
    2T baby soap (non foaming kind)
    1T oil (baby, coconut, grape seed, veg, doesn't really matter)
    2 drops tea tree oil

    I've been using the same recipe but without the oil. I do use coconut oil as a diaper balm during the day though.

    I'm another that just uses water. I have a mini spray bottle from the dollar store and just wet as I use them. Sometimes I add some baby bath wash in, Live Clean or Aleva brand is what we have on hand.

    I just use water as well. My lo seemed to get red when I used store bought wipes so I just use a warm wet wash cloth and change it numerous times a day. Does make for lots of laundry !

    Water, sometimes a squirt of baby soap.  I put about an inch of water in a wipes box and put a stack of cloth wipes on top of that to soak up the water.
    I tried this and they got musty smelling by end of day.  Maybe due to our high humidity here?   So now I have a container of solution and dunk a dry cloth in each time.
