Making your own cloth wipes

Cloth diaper expert and owner of Milagros, Jennifer Fuentes tells you how to make your own cloth wipes.
Are you feeling comfortable cloth diapering and would like to have your own reusable wipes? It’s so easy! Here’s how we did it!
Needs:
Water resistant container (sealing)
Wipes (can be flannel squares, thin infant wash cloths, we’ve even used washed “disposable” wipes!)
Jug of distilled water (plain tap water doesn’t cut it…eventually gets moldy…trust me)
Tea tree oil (antibacterial properties…nice!)
Lavender essential oil (mmmm…pretty…)
Place the wipes in whichever container you will use for storing. In a separate container mix the distilled water with the oils (a few drops to each cup of water you will be using). Pour over your wipes and you are set! You can even take some in a resealable plastic bag for trips away from home. This has worked well for us, and we use the container that some disposable wipes came in. Thin washcloths fold up nicely into it and our wipe solution just needs two cups of water. Go for it, mommas! You can do it!
