There's not much that hasn't been cleaned with a wet wipe at some point.

SqueezyCheeseWeasel · 22/06/2015 13:54

No.

YES. Just recently discovered how much hair can be removed with a baby wipe. My Henry Hoover jusy isn't up to the job. I tried using a rubber squire thing but that was rubbish. A damp flannel is good for hair removal too.

I'm assuming you mean a carpet on the floor and it's not an euphamism for something else?

I wet wipe the rugs as they get full of dust and fluff that the Hoover cant shift.

Oh no! 3 weeks till dc3 due and trying not to completely give into nesting... but this is feeling like the best idea ever! I might have to stop trying to hold it back, ignore the children and get the wet wipes out.

PandaMummyofOne · 22/06/2015 14:48

Yep. DS threw up all over my brand new hall and landing carpet. Hmm The wet wipes worked wonders before the Hoover other vacuum cleaner brands available and a bit of febreeze other brands of fabric freshener available

Gatekeeper · 22/06/2015 14:50

yes as did my mother before me; I don't use a wipe though- a damp floor cloth- and the amount of fluff and hair etc it brings off is staggering even with my brand new Miele vacuum

justaweeone · 22/06/2015 14:51

Also try using the side of your hand that has a rubber glove on!!
Love a baby wipe for most things!

LMGTFY · 22/06/2015 14:53

No, but guess what I'll be doing tonight now!

TealFanClub · 22/06/2015 14:56

My mil did it once (in my house). I thought wtf? Does it actually do something? I just assumed she was being weird.

GobblersKnob · 22/06/2015 14:59
