I have been buying baby wipes ever since my kids were born. Even though they are in school now, it’s still something I keep on my shopping list!
Yes, they are wonderful for wiping those lil‘ baby buns, but there are so many more fun and non-traditional uses for baby wipes too!
Go check out some of my favorite Creative Ways to Use Baby Wipes, now that my kids are no longer needing them for their original primary purpose. 🙂
The uses are limitless!
What are some non-traditional ways you like to use baby wipes?

Baby wipes are great for cleaning tools for polymer clay or even paint…. I use them allot … also works out cheaper when you make your own baby wipes !
But I have 4 boys, 3 of them are 3, 2, 1 so I use wipes all the time…… my mother told me i should just use a hot flannel ick!
This is the recipe I use when I have run out of store bought ones….
2 rolls of paper rolls , I usually by the home brand
1 cup of boiled water
1 or 2 tsp of vinegar
1 tsp of baby wash ( homebrand) or for soap free I use sorbalene….
seperate the paper rolls and fold them in half, in a container mix the above recipe… place your paper towels in a baby wipe container or a sealed container and pour over the mixture….. double the mixture if you find there not damp enough….. should last a week if you turn the container over every so often to make them damp.

My boys are 16 and 19 now and I still use them for everything! Cleaning the inside of my car, removing makeup, add a tiny bit of alcohol for cleaning the bathroom and the kitchen especially the refrigerator and microwave to disinfect, and anything that needs dusting! We clean the dogs paws with them before they come back into the house from being in the backyard too! I even clean my wood coffee table because it doesn’t dry it out. When I run out of wet Swiffers, I use them to do a quick clean for my laminate floors too. Maybe TMI, but my husband just had shoulder surgery and he had a hard time bathing so I used them to clean his armpits. I will use them forever!

Baby wipes are excellent for cleaning Stainless steel appliances…streak free
mom says
It’s already been said, but I can’t believe how fast they wipe off mascara! My son had it all over his face and you know how long 2 year olds like to hold still for a good face washing, well 1 did the trick! I can’t wait to use them on baseboards- genius! Huggies and Pampers tear in half easily so they go further.

We get the flushable wipes from Meijer..they aren’t considered baby wipes- but they work just as well-esp if you have hemorrhoid trouble. We use them all over the house here!!
I'm So Pretty says
Wow, I'm going to have to rethink my decision to pass on these wipes since they're non-flushable. I guess I can use them for so many other things (and the idea of using them in the car is great!). Thanks to all!!

We use them to clean the dash board in the cars. I also love using the containers for the crayons, markers, pencils & pens
Melissa says
Baseboards! 🙂

Micah and Katie says
there great for cleaning scrap booking stamps!
debra says
They are the best. I always take them when we travel for wiping sticky or dirty hands in the car. Or when the public bathrooms are WAY to dirty to wash your hands in (yuck!) We use them for craft time- wiping glue, glitter, markers, whatever, off hands and other body parts. Can't imagine life with out them. 🙂
Sharon says
They are great for dusting the ceiling fans, and cleaning the gunk that you can't get around the toilet with a mop!
UKZoe says
My boys are 14 and 17, but I can still find uses for them. Meant to pick up a pack the last time I was at the store but forgot.
Two Happy Stampers says
On occasion, for cleaning rubber stamps! We also use baby wipes for a special stamping technique called "Baby Wipe" technique, where you make your own ink pad by placing drops of ink randomly on a folded baby wipe in a few different colors. You then use this as your ink pad with your stamp or you can fold and swipe across your paper for color. =D
Blondie says
Baby wipes are great for…
cooling off (and de-stinking a bit) when it's hot…
wiping down my son's art desk (washable paints and markers)…
wiping off the console and air vents in my car…
clean my hands after pumping gas.
My older son is 10 and my younger son is 2. I knew when my older son was a baby that I had somehow lived my life till that point without baby wipes, but I would never live my life without them again!

I use them for carpet spill clean up too–they work really well on our berber carpets!

No,I meant "thats the TRIM next to the carpet"…

Have you heard of the FlyLady cleaning system? She talks about taking a couple minutes in the morning to "swish and swipe" the bathroom. I use a baby wipe to quickly clean off the counter and sink, and another to wipe off the toilet (I have 4 boys!)
We also use them to clean doors and trim. They're great for getting fingerprints off doors and the younger kids use them to keep the dust off the baseboards (thats the trip next to the carpet).
Jackie says
I will always use baby wipes. My kiddos use them to clean their faces and hands all the time and they range in age for 12 down to 3. They just clean everything. And if I can get a package of wipes on sale with coupons for 25 or 50 cents, why not?!
Kris Plotner says
As a teacher, I use them to clean my "greyboards" You know the ones that used to be the chalkboards, but they've changed to the dry-erase boards. The dry-erase erasers, don't work well with those markers, but the baby wipes work wonders!
Rachael says
I use the Extra Gentle ones as makeup removers! Especially waterproof mascara, excellent and quick!
