When it comes to wiping baby bottoms, you can’t really be any more efficient than baby wipes. You can really wipe just about anything with them – your hands after you pump your gas at the gas station, cooling a sweaty brow after a jog or mopping up small spills around the house or the car. Next time you head out with your kids, pack a small stack of these do-it-all helpers and leave it in your glove compartment for when you need them.

Here are a couple of extra handy applications for baby wipes:
Dusting the House
Baby wipes are the perfect form for dusting in hard-to-reach areas like behind the fridge and between the rungs of chairs. You can use them to wipe the dust off of house plants and keep them growing happy and strong. They are also great against little spots on your kitchen or bathroom floor, just pop one out and use a little elbow grease and that spot is gone in seconds!
Here are some additional tips on keeping your house dust-proof and clean!
Car Wipe-Downs
For on-the-go parents, you don’t always have time to clean out your car as some food and drink accidents come up. If you have some baby wipes on deck, you’d be surprised how easy up-keep can be! Juice spills and sticky kids can all be alleviated by these handy and accessible tools. If there is hard-stuck bird poop or dead bugs on your windshield, baby wipes can quickly get the bulk of the mess gone. Don’t use them to clean the whole windshield, or else you’ll end up with a streaky mess – but they are super for hard to clean “lumps.”
Baby wipes also perfect for washing off crayon and pencil from most surfaces!
Here are some more hints for making sure your car gets clean and stays that way!
Remove Make Up
The fashion industry secretly considers baby wipes to be their best friend when it comes to removing stubborn, caked-on make up from their faces. In particular, they are a great defense against dark black eyeliner and mascara. They’re gentle enough for use on babies most sensitive places, they’re gentle enough to take off eye makeup – and not even as close to as expensive as salon-quality make up removers!
Tidying Up Your Look
On your way to an important meeting and notice that you have deodorant streaks on your black top? Baby wipes can get that out in no time flat! Don’t have any time to shower after a hard work out? Do a quick wipe down here and there on the problem areas and feel relieved, fresh and ready for the world. If you have a couple of “static attacks” you can use baby wipes similarly to the way dryer sheets work and annihilate any static that may be altering your hair.
It’s always a good idea to keep some baby wipes handy, you never know when you might need them for hefty messes!
