Even though I think its a cool idea, I just would struggle with the idea of knowing that I’ve already used the cloth even though I washed it. I can see many people trying this tip though.

No, don’t use bleach! We don’t use that on our baby’s diapers, or the wipes we use to clean her. Just normal washing powder.

Actually, what we do is put her nappies and things in on a pre wash, which effectively rinses them. Then add in the rest of the washing. No need to do a boil wash or anything!

Do you have kids, Penelope? I have to say, with little guys, I'm frequently putting soiled items in with other items. It can't be helped. LOL Jennifer @ Money Saver 101’s last blog post..Freebie Fridays - Free Web Hosting with NO ADS!

No. Cloth butt wipes were not on my list of reusable items, although everyone can feel free to do it if they wish. Jennifer @ Money Saver 101’s last blog post..Freebie Fridays - Free Web Hosting with NO ADS!

I'm all for saving money, but I think this might be a little too frugal even for me. Having a bin full of used wipes sit around and then popping them in the washer where I also wash face and hand towels - even if not at the same time - is a little too much for me.

It is interesting Jennifer that your last post was on things you can reuse to save money. I guess cloth wipes are not on the list.

It really is a very personal choice and it seems that the Wally Pop people have a good following. I was just curious to see what my readers think.

It's definitely an interesting topic, and everyone has to make the decision for themselves. Personally, I would rather flush it all down the toilet. I'm all about reusing things as much as possible and reducing waste, but I couldn't do this. Using hot water in the washing machine actually increases energy costs by 80-85%. You have to do a cost comparison to decide if the cost for toilet paper is less or more, and if that's worth it to you. But I do agree with Sarah. If you're cloth diapering, then it's definitely a no brainer, especially on the baby. Jennifer @ Money Saver 101’s last blog post..5 Items you can Re-use to help Save Money & Protect the Environment

For the record, I do not recommend using bleach. Bleach is very hard on fibers, and should never be used on diapers in particular. Hot water is sufficient to get things clean. And personally I do not recommend using reusable wipes on adults who are ill.

Each person would have to figure out for themselves if the washing costs are more than the cost of TP. If you have babies in cloth diapers, it’s a no-brainer.
