Since I started cloth diapering, I always wanted to try cloth wipes. Recently, I was given the opportunity to try out wipes from SMQ Organics.
SMQ Organics is a mom owned and crafted Etsy shop that specializes in organic handcrafted baby items, including crib sheets, washcloths, cloth wipes, and blankets.
- Wipes in Organic Cotton, Soy and Rayon from Bamboo.
- These wipes are good for your baby and good for the planet. They are luxuriously soft and will not irritate baby's delicate newborn skin.
- Can also be used for Cleaning, Dirty Faces or Runny Noses.
- Hypoallergenic so they are great for babies with eczema.
- Machine wash & dry.
- Handmade in Canada.
For review I was sent a set of green wipes. Upon touching the wipes they were very soft and a really good size. Included with the wipes was a letter explaining what they are made of, as well as two different recipes for homemade wipes solution. Since I didn't have any tea tree oil on hand, I decided to use a very simple variation of one of the recipes.
I combined: 1 tablespoon baby oil 2 teaspoons baby wash (or baby shampoo) 2 1/2 cups water and poured over the wipes that were in a plastic baby wipes container. Then I just swished them around a bit and then were ready to go! Baby A was happy to oblige by providing me with a very stinky diaper shortly after, so I could try the wipes out. With disposable wipes, it feels like we easily use 6-8 wipes with her stinky diapers, but with these cloth wipes, I only had to use two! Baby A also has problems with diaper rash and sensitive skin, so disposable wipes often irritate her skin and hurt her, but with these wipes that was not a problem as they are made with organic materials and no chemicals. Overall, the wipes were easy to use, soft and gentle on her skin. When I was finished, I just tossed them in with the cloth diapers in my wetbag and then were ready to wash with the next load of diapers. I don't think it could get easier than that! The only tip I have is to pre-wash your wipes alone or they will run onto your diapers if placed next to them when wet.

ReplyDeleteI am hoping to use cloth diapers and wipes when my first is born.
ReplyDeleteBut I do have a question: do you need to rinse them before washing if they get really dirty while cleaning a messy diaper?
It's between the crib sheets or the cloth wipes. We can never have too many of either in our house.
ReplyDeleteI like the baby bamboo receiving blanket
ReplyDeleteTo me - you have to use cloth wipes if you are going to CD. It doesn't make sense otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThe organic baby blankets!
ReplyDeleteThe receiving blankets look very nice!

ReplyDeleteI use cloth wipes because I think they get baby cleaner, and it's easier to use them since I cloth diaper. It all goes to one bucket.

ReplyDeleteCrib sheets <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a great concept-- I definitely recommend pairing these items with organic pillows because of the close contact with your face for such prolonged amounts of time. Organic bedding has been one of the best home upgrades I've made so far, it's great to see other people encouraging this concept as well!
