All out of cleanser? Use baby wipes to remove your make-up - it works like a charm!
You know those annoying stains you get around your hairline and on your forehead when you do a DIY hair dye job? Yeah, baby wipes will get rid of them.

Clean anything and everything

Apparently, over 75 percent of us have used a baby wipe in lieu of trusty toilet paper. Just be sure to use a sensitive one, and keep in mind they shouldn’t be flushed, either.
Use a baby wipe to freshen up ‘down there’ if and when you feel the need.
If your kids come home with sticky fingers and faces or dirty feet post-playdate, clean them up with just the swipe of a wipe.
Why does foundation get everywhere when you’re driving? Steering wheel, volume button, sun visor, door handle… Stash a pack in the glovebox for these precise moments.
White deodorant stains on clothing? Not any more!

Oh-so-handy around the home

Use a wipe to clean your phone, computer, keyboard, TV screen, iPad, CDs, DVDs and sunglasses (or anything similar). They’re soft and won’t damage the screens, but will wipe away those pesky fingerprints.
Make your leather shoes shine with the help of baby wipes.
Erase words from whiteboard and chalkboards and start fresh.
Give shaggy pets a daily rubdown with a wipe or two to remove excess hair (and keep it off the rugs and furniture).
Quickly and effectively clean your leather lounge.
Wipe down the leaves of houseplants to remove dust and bring back that healthy sheen.
Hate licking envelopes? Who doesn’t?! Moisten the glue with a wipe and seal.

How do you use baby wipes? Where do you keep your wipes stashed?

I have used spell casting to get my ex husband back to me and also get pregnant with twins girls through the help of a great and trusted spell caster after 12 years of marriage.

When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Priest ODUNGA who has been helping people and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012 and he assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. My husband left me because I was unable to give him a child for 9 years after our marriage. There was no contact between us anymore and I didn't know how to get to him. Priest Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contacting Priest Odunga. Soon I received a herbal medicine for fertility from this man, I became fertile. I and my husband reconnected that very week, had sex and I became pregnant. Today, I am happy today to be the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO PRIEST ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this spell caster. Contact his email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and you too will give a testimony too to help others

Curiosity is killing me...

How on Earth do you curl hair with them?

Sootyhere 17 Jan 2019 11:18 PM

Curl your hair around a wipe and tie in a knot. Allow your tresses to dry overnight and wake up to set curls!

Lucy16 18 Jan 2019 10:42 AM

Interesting...

I wonder how effective it ends up being?

Sootyhere 18 Jan 2019 2:51 PM

Has anyone tried it on hair?

Use wipes to get all those kids hands marks and smudges off your walls doors and architraves. Seriously!

I use them on spot spills on carpet. They’re within easy reach so good for a quick response and don’t fall apart like paper towels. At the beginning of each school year we are asked to provide one box of tissues and baby wipes for each child. So they must think it’s a good idea too.
