I recently have made some cloth wipes using some Gerber Flat Fold Birdseye Cloth Diapers I got from several people at my baby showers. I had a lot of these flat diapers and they aren't very expensive.
What's really nice about that, is that I could make 6 wipes out of one diaper, so it can be really inexpensive to use them for wipes. It's also really easy to make them out of these diapers. I just folded them, cut them, and then sewed the edges with a serger. It was very simple.
After I made the wipes, I put them in a disposable wipes plastic box where I had mixed some Melalueca Oil with a mild soap and water. This moistened the wipes so they are a lot like disposable wipes and that makes it really easy and simple to use them. After I use them I can throw them in the diaper pail.
My husband brought up the fact that by putting the used one in the diaper pail, it makes it smell better. That was a advantage of using them I hadn't thought about but it is nice. Also by using the Melalueca oil it can help disinfect the inserts, diapers, and wipes when I wash them, and because it is a disinfectant it will help any sores on my baby's bum.
Adding baking soda to the solution can also help with smell.
