10 Uses for Baby Wipes Other than What They Were Intended For

1. Use wipes to clean sticky fingers and
   faces.  Wipes are much softer than tissues and since they are
   already wet they are more convenient to use than a wash cloth with soap
   and water. They also are great for when you are away from home and need to
   clean sticky fingers and faces quickly.  In a pinch you can even use
   them to wipe runny noses because they are so soft.

2. Wipe spots off of microfiber
   furniture.  Microfiber furniture is very easy to clean, but
   sometimes a gentle cleaner is necessary.  That’s where the wipe comes
   in.  Baby wipes can work well in cleaning spots when you need to
   clean up a small spot quickly. 

3. Remove crayon from painted surfaces with
   wipes.  Baby wipes are a kid-safe way to clean what can
   otherwise be a difficult mess to remove.  Other harsh chemicals can
   be used to effectively clean crayon, but wipes are safe for the kids to be
   around with no severe fumes.

4. Clean your rubber stamps when card
   making.  Something in the wipe conditions the rubber stamp as it
   cleans the ink off.  There are other alternatives to clean stamps,
   but none as convenient and as inexpensive as a baby wipe.  You can
   also use a folded baby wipe on a paper plate and add a few drops of
   different colors of ink from a re-inker and use the plate and wipe as your
   temporary stamp pad for a custom color mix.

5. Wipes work as a make-up remover.  The
   make-up industry has caught on to this trick and is now making makeup
   removing wipes especially for that task, but for less money you can use a
   baby wipe that you already have at home.

6. Remove lipstick from a shirt
   collar.  As long as you catch it right when it happens, you can
   use a wipe to remove lipstick from a shirt collar.  It takes a little
   elbow grease, but it works when you need a solution fast.

7. Use wipes for quick clean ups around the
   house.  Keep a box of wipes in your kitchen for a quick clean up
   after breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Wipe your kid’s mouth and any
   spills or crumbs on the table all by using a single wipe.

8. Use in place of water to clean hands if
   using a porta-potty.  Doesn’t it always figure when you are at
   some sort of outside event that your child has to go to the
   bathroom?  It also never fails that there’s no way to wash her hands
   after she goes.  Baby wipes to the rescue!  In desperate
   situations wipes can serve as toilet paper too.  That is, after all,
   what they were designed for.

9. Baby wipes are a convenient way to clean
   your puppy’s feet.  Do you ever take your pooch to the dog park
   only to realize that his paws are a mess and he’s about ready to leave paw
   prints all over your car?  Grab the baby wipes.  These work well
   to clean the mud and dirt off of your puppy’s feet.  Keep them by the
   door at home for those times that he comes in muddy from the yard too.

10. Wipes work well for cleaning hairspray
    off of wood surfaces.  Baby wipes have just enough moisture and texture
    to lift the sticky residue of hairspray off of counters and wooden
    cupboards.  Unlike harsher cleaner-based wipes, baby wipes won’t dry
    out your wood.
