Make your own Cloth Wet Wipes

I used cloth diapers for years before I started using cloth wet wipes because I assumed cloth wipes would make cloth diapering harder. But I would wipe my baby's butt with a disposable wipe and put the dirty wipe inside the cloth diaper. When it came time to wash the diapers, I found myself pulling out the disposable wet wipes and throwing them in the trash. Turns out, this act of turning towards the trash can was more work than just throwing the wipes in the same place the diaper was headed.
Cloth diapering is challenging, but cloth wet wipes are an easy addition! It is really not any more work, it costs nothing, and it is better for the ecosystem and, therefore, our troubled world!
Here is how I do it:

Cut cotton cloth into squares with pinking sheers. I made my wipes out of old recieving blankets. They are cheap and easy to come by. But you could use an old fannel shirt. I like fannel because it is assobant and soft, but any soft cotton fabric will work. I am sure you could cut and hem the edges of your wipes, but I wouldn't bother. I mean they don't need to be pretty right? Just cut the cloth into squares with pinking sheers.

Soak them in a solution of water, baby soap, and tea tree oil. Some people put a solution in a spray bottle and wet each wipe when it is used. This way you only make the solution once. I perfect making a wet wipes batch after each wash so when I am up to my elbows in poop that wet wipe is ready! The solution I use is just warm water, a little squirt of natural baby soap, and a drop or two of tea tree oil to prevent mildew, mold, or bacteria. Just lay the cloth wipes in an old plastic wet wipe container, pour the solution over the wipes, and vuala! Wash them along with your diapers.
