How to Add Liquid to Wipes

When changing a messy diaper, little is more frustrating than finding the container of baby wipes has been left open and the wipes are bone dry. Don't fret. You can take a few household items to moisten those wipes and have them better than new. The basic components for your baby-wipe liquid are water, a skin-softening agent, a cleanser and a fragrance.

Things You'll Need

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp. baby shampoo or wash
  • 3 tbsp. baby oil or olive oil
  • Essential oils

Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the wipes from their plastic container.

    • 2

      Combine in the container 2 cups of distilled or boiled water that has cooled with 1 tbsp. of baby wash or shampoo and 3 tbsp. of baby oil or olive oil.

    • 3

      Add to the mixture three drops of an essential oil, like chamomile or lavender, for fragrance.

    • 4

      Close the container lid and shake gently to mix.

    • 5

      Open the container and put in the dry wipes.

    • 6

      Close the container and invert for several seconds, giving the liquid a chance to filter through the dry wipes.

    • 7

      Return the container to an upright position. Open the container and ensure that the wipes are wet. If not, close and invert the container again until all wipes are moistened.

    • 8

      Rethread wipes from the center through the opening in the lid if you are using a cylindrical container of baby wipes.
