Step One of using cloth wipes is to get them WET! Below we’ve listed our top 3 recommendations for cloth wipes solutions.

#1 NOLEO

We LOVE NOLEO. Could talk about it all day long. It was actually made by a cloth diapering parent, so they know exactly what they’re doing. This liquidy-cream wicks away poop while also fighting diaper rash and irritation. It has simple ingredients which help protect and restore baby’s skin. Learn more about it here.

To Use Noleo:

A squirt of Noleo wipe solution on a disposable pad.

  1. Can be used straight on poo or at a pee diaper change.
  2. Squirt 1 pump onto cloth wipe.
  3. Wipe poo with Noleo-covered-wipe towards the back of baby’s bum, scooping and cleaning up as you would normally.
  4. Once clean, leave extra Noleo on baby’s bum – no need to wipe it off.

NOLEO is cloth-safe, and can be added to your diaper delivery anytime through our store. Save $2 on every bottle when you sign up for a monthly or bi-monthly subscription.

#2 Homemade Wipe Solution

Save money by making your own homemade wipe solution!  The olive oil in this is great for protecting and moisturizing baby’s skin. There’s a variety of ways you can use this solution, so find the option that works best for your routine.

  • Put solution in spray bottle and spray wipes or bum directly at diaper change.
  • Dunk a few wipes at a time before a diaper change.
  • Keep wipes soaking in a wipes warmer or wipes wet bag. Only do enough for one day at a time otherwise they could mold.

This solution is also cloth-safe and smells wonderful!

Here’s the recipe:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lavender castile soap
  • 4 drops tea tree oil
  • 8 drops lavender oil
  • 3 cups water""

#3 Water

The simplest and most inexpensive solution of all! You can use this just like you would the homemade wipe solution by pre-wetting with a spray bottle, under the sink or soaking in a container. This is also a great option if you’re on-the-go and don’t want to carry your Noleo or homemade solution.
