These little cubes are dissolved in hot water to form a baby wipe solution. Once the solution is made, you can put it in a spray bottle to keep on baby’s changing table, or you can use it to pre-soak cloth wipes (or paper towels if you need disposable wipes). Whether you already use and love wipe bits or you’re just hearing about them for the first time, I have good news for you. They’re easy and inexpensive to make, and if you make just one batch of them when you’re pregnant, I guarantee you’ll still have some left over after that baby of yours is potty trained.
Four little words: MELT AND POUR SOAP.
Wipe bits ingredients
- Get 12 oz. melt and pour soap (I prefer goat’s milk, but you can find other gentle varieties such as aloe vera, shea, or olive oil)
- Essential oils (optional for fragrance)
- Candy mold
- Cut melt and pour soap base into cubes. Measure approximately 12 ounces using a kitchen scale.
- Heat soap in microwave using 50% power and stirring every 30-45 seconds until fully melted.
- Stir in essential oils – generally only a few drops are needed!
- Pour into molds.
- Refrigerate about 30 minutes.
- Remove from mold; store in an airtight tin or bag.
Wipe bits Usage
- Pour 1-2 cups boiling water over one cube.
- Store solution in a spray bottle, or pour over wipes in plastic container.
