75 + Ways to Use Baby Wipes

 

Mention the words “Baby Wipes” and you’ll most likely think about baby’s bottoms and dirty nappies.  Baby wipes, however, are incredibly versatile and useful for so many things.  I love the really thick ones as they’re soft and gentle and you’ll find packets of them in various rooms of my house and I always carry some in my handbag. I’ve come up with a list or more than 75 uses for them:
