What do you use on your reusable wipes?

I got some in the LL clearance sale and I know you can just soak them in a little bit of water, does anyone add anything else?
I've heard you can add lavender oil etc, but was wondering how that works given that oil doesn't dissolve in water.

I use lavender & chamomile oil for my 'bottom' wipes and rose & geranium oil for my 'face' wipes. Just add a few drops in the water before popping the wipes into the box.

I did try mandarin oil but DD had an allergic reaction. Please remember to patch test...I didn't Sad

Thanks, I think I'll stick to water although I might give the lavender oil one a try.

Just water here too

Water with a tiny squirt of the baby wash we use on DS. Just water when he was little though.

(We actually just have a squeeze bottle next to the basket of dry wipes and wet them fresh as we go along rather than having a box that sit there wet.)

I just had a tub if plain water most of the time and dipped in that.
I did try little cubes of the mildest lush soap which did smell good but was an extra step to do and so stopped...

I do fancy the squirts bottles of stuff you can get (carcass cleaner?) recommended for squirting in the dish of water.

chamomile tea with a few drops of lavender, lovely :)

I use CJ's carcass cleaner and it really freshens Smile I have the cucumber and melon one, the mango and mint, I think, one and my particular favourite though I was blatantly just suckered in by the name, ,Lovespell! I use water when I am not organised enough but a few squirts of CC in a flask in a nappy bag works wonders.
