    best way to use cloth wipes?

    I've just bought some cloth wipes to go with my growing stash, and I was just wondering how people use them?

    ie - do you wet them? how? with what? where do you store them when you go out?

    Thanks in advance!

    For going out, try a ziplock bag with some pre-wet wipes OR, the thing I've had on my 'to do' list for ages, is to get one of those little perfume atomisers and fill that with water.

    At home, a spray bottle with water (and maybe a drop of baby bath gel or essential oil if I want a nice smell).

    thanks Ladies
    AJP - where did you find a nappy bag especially for cloth?

    I recently converted to a smaller bag (when still using sposies), but I have to had to get the big one out again now to fit the nappies, and its a tight fit!

    At home I have a spray bottle with a bit of sweet mandarin and tea tree oil in water, but when it's cold I have a small bowl and one of those small stainless steel thermoses, like you get at vietnamese/chinese restaurants, with the pop-top button. I fill that up with hot water once a day usually and just pour a splash onto a wipe and wring out the excess into the bowl (which I use to water a pot-plant later!). It's nice to have warm water for cleaning up little bottoms here in winter! If I'm going out, I have a mini thermos for the same thing, or a small atomiser that I picked up from an asian grocery store. I dont have a nappy bag, just a folding change mat and a couple of wetbags that are thrown into whatever bag I'm taking with me! One for clean stuff, ond the other for dirty.
