Wipes Storage Question

[WeldonsMama]

Do I need to use a wipes warmer with my cloth wipes or can I just put them in a plastic container?

My solution has tea tree oil in it so would that alone prevent bacteria growth?

How long will it stay good?

Thanks!

Well, our home wipe solution is simply: fill the sink about 1/4 way with warm water, squirt dr. bronner's soap in, drop in a few flannel squares.

While out: we use dixie drops solution in a squirt bottle. Taking dry wipes and we go through it fast enough that we don't have a concern for the solution going bad.

the TTO should be enough to keep the nasties away It's naturally antibacterial

Here's my wipes method:
8x8 square wipes folded in half, stacked in an old Huggies container
First add distilled/filtered water (enough to cover wipes...3/4 full?)
then add a few drops of lavender, 1-2 drops of TTO & a few drops of organic olive oil. Stir or shake to mix.
Then add the folded & stacked wipes.
When we go out I take out a few of the top wipes & put them in an old Huggies travel wipes container.
HTH!

(I usually mix up 2 containers at a time...each container lasts about 4-5 days...and when the wipes are dirty I toss them in the diaper pail & wash them with the diapers)
