Anyone make your own wipes?

[poppy523]

Decided that it is time for us to take the next step with cloth diapering.  I think it is actually more work for me to throw the wipe in the trash and the diaper in the wet bag.  I was planning to use some baby wash clothes and make my own solution.   Anyone have any advice?

1 c warm water
1 T castille soap
1 T coconut oil
2-3 drops tea tree oil

The soap is cleansing, the oil is moisturizing and antibacterial/antifungal, the TTO makes it smell nice and prevents mold or mildew from developing in the wet wipes.

I've made 2 batches. I loved the smell and the fact that it didn't hurt DDs diaper rash. Towards the bottom the rags got really wet. I should have put some dry ones to help soak up more.
I used DDs washcloths about 15-20in each.
2 cups warm water
2Tablespoons fractionated coconut oil
3 drops lavender essential oil
3 drops melaleuca essential oil

Do you use a spray bottle or just pour this over the wipes and let them sit?

I pour it over the wipes. For me that's easier.

I'll have to search for the name, but I got these little things you mix with water in a spray bottle and just spray right on the bum then wipe with cloth. It's great since we have such limited resources here in town.
