Strangely Practical Uses for Huggies Baby Wipes

Huggies Baby Wipes have been a household staple for years. But, have you ever used them for anything other than changing diapers? Being a mother to many as well as having much experience in babysitting, nannying, and childcare, I have had plenty of experience with baby wipes. Here's some strange, but practical uses for your baby wipes that have been used many times by myself as well as others around me. Keep in mind that these are only applicable to the Huggies Brand, because of their unique thickness and design.

Strange Use #1: Dusting
Huggies Baby Wipes can come in handy for dusting, especially when dealing with venetian blinds and other blinds. Window blinds are difficult to dust with a traditional duster because the dust will stick heavily to them. Rubbing the dust off with a Huggies wipe is much more efficient. It's also faster.

Ceiling fans are another dusting problem because the dust gets caked on thickly. Once you wipe the dust off with a regular duster, there is still residue left behind. The wipes can easily wipe clean that stuck-on residue. They are also much more affordable than popular dusting wipes now sold at many retailers.

If you have furniture that needs special treatment, the wipes may not be a great idea, but I haven't had any problems with that as of yet.

Strange Use #2: Wiping up spills
If you have children in the house, your spills will be more frequent. Paper towels are generally used for spills, but then you have the problem of the stickiness still remaining and you may end of having to mop it up. That's where your baby wipes come in handy. Huggies wipes are stronger than paper towels and contain cleaning agents, so they are much more efficient at wiping spills than paper towels. They are a tad bit more expensive, so I recommend only using them on tough spills or those that you know you cannot get without them. You will slice your spill clean-up time by a great amount using the wipes.

Strange Use #3: Traveling (in or out of town)
When traveling with children, your vehicle can get pretty messy, but it doesn't have to. Keep a tub of Huggies wipes in your vehicle. Whenever someone has a runny nose, spills food, spills drinks, or makes any other mess, your baby wipes will come in handy.

Strange Use #4: Stain removing
Have you ever spilled something on yourself in public? Chances are you have. Huggies Baby Wipes are great at rubbing out those embarrassing stains before anyone can see them. The wipes will get out many food stains. Just squeeze a bit of the liquid substance from the wipe onto the stain. Then, ball up the wipe and scrob the stain. Voila! Your stain is gone. I have tried this for may different stains and have not encountered one it didn't work for as of yet.

Strange Use #5: Chalkboard Eraser
Do your kids enjoy using the chalkboard frequently? Instead of a regular chalkboard eraser, hand them a Huggies wipe. It gets the chalk off better and many kids enjoy cleaning the chalkboard.
