Baby wipes were invented in the mid-1940s by several companies as a convenient product for cleaning babies. They are made from spunlace nonwoven fabric sheets that are pre-moistened with ingredients like water, glycerin, and botanical extracts. Traditional formulas contained alcohol and fragrances but modern wipes are alcohol-free and fragrance-free to be gentler on baby skin. While effective for cleaning, baby wipes are not designed to be flushed and should be disposed of in the trash to avoid clogging drains.

2. 1. Introduction of baby wipes
1. What are in baby wipes?
Baby wipes is one of many kinds of
wet wipes. Wet wipe, generally known as a
wet towel or a moist towelette, sanitizing wipe,
disinfecting wipe, or antibacterial wipe.

3. And because of the reason of urine and feces, the baby's buttocks are cleaned very often, and alcohol solvents
can easily penetrate into the skin. Alcohol and substances have potential harm to the skin. With accumulative
use will eventually cause the skin to lose its elasticity, roughness, dryness and other irritation. Therefore, with
the continuous improvement of people's level of awareness, the formula of baby wipes has also improved, using
distilled water, purified water, and adding a certain amount of skin care agents, gradually becoming free of
alcohol, fragrance, rich in various nutrients, and non-irritating. The development of sexual bactericidal
ingredients. In this way, the baby's natural skin will remain moisturized and healthy!
Traditional baby wipes formulas generally contain alcohol and flavors. Alcohol is an effective ingredient
to disinfect the skin. On the one hand, the flavors can mask the odor of the formula raw materials, and on
the other hand, they can also provide various fragrance effects for the product. This formula is widely used
for a long time. However, studies have found that because the permeability of newborn skin is higher than
that of adults, the barrier function of infant skin has not been fully developed. It is extremely allergic and
weak in resistance. It is very different from the nature of adult skin: First, the skin of infants has high water
content, the pH value is high (the skin does not retain moisture); secondly, it sweats more per unit area;
furthermore, babies have low sebum to dry skin. Therefore, in addition to being non-toxic to the skin and
eyes, baby wipes should also pay special attention to care and safety. Baby wipes have the characteristics
and features of excellent protection, high safety, and low irritation.

4. 1-2 when were baby wipes invented? who invented baby wipes?
There are two sayings as below:
The first saying about baby wipes’ history
1-2-1 In 1944 invented by Procter & Gamble
In 1944, Procter & Gamble (Procter & Gamble) first introduced "baby wipes".
1-2-2 1945 initially industrialized by Scott Paper
As said by Scott Paper, 1945, Original Rando Webber (the first prototype of baby wipes
production machine) was made (Circa 1945-1946).
1946 Scott Paper Company’s second prototype (today’s air laid machine) built to use as a
picker lap of shoddy or reclaimed tire cord to produce a random fiber web
Till that time, the world’s first machine designed specifically for the infant formed fabrics
industry— on display at the Smithsonian Institute.
1947 Consolidate Machine Tool ships the first commercial lap-fed 40-inch Rando
Webber. (http://www.randomachine.com/ourhistory.html)
Consolidate Machine Tool ships the
first commercial lap-fed 40-inch

5. 1-2-3 Challenged by James River's After the mid-1980s
After the mid-1980s, James River's revolutionary baby wipes structure appeared! Embossed Kroyer airlaid dry tissues
with ethylene vinyl acetate spray bonding. This product combines many characteristics of Scott products, but the
product has better uniformity, higher bulkiness and lower cost. For several years, this product has shared the baby
wipes market with Rando products.
1-2-4 Breaking the monopoly by Kimberly Clark in the beginning of 1990s
In the early 1990s, Kimberly Clark Company used CoformTM technology (a technology more similar to hydro-jetted
nonwoven fabrics, rather than airlaid pulp, or dry papermaking) in its baby wipes. When the curious baby wipes
produced by the Coform method entered the market, the curious baby wipes that were as smooth as silk gradually
replaced the Rando Webber method baby wipes that were once the market leader and were frequently copied. The
Coform method can produce high-quality baby wipes with good strength and softness, moderate bulkiness, but high
cost.
The substrate using spunlace technology has a three-dimensional and three-dimensional entangled structure in its
fibers, which has more water absorption space than other technologies. Moreover, the base material is formed by fiber
entanglement without the need to add chemical adhesives. Therefore, the base material has good flexibility and safety.
Moreover, the special product structure and manufacturing process of the spunlace substrate give the product a hollow
structure, but it does not lose the fiber. When the fiber contacts the surface of the wiped object, the friction area
increases, which brings comfort and efficiency clean.

6. 1-1 The second saying about baby wipes’ history
1-2-1 invented by Nice-Pak company
The origin of baby wipes most likely came in the mid-1950s as more people were travelling and needed a way
to clean up on the go. One of the first companies to produce these was a company called Nice-Pak. They made
napkin sized paper cloth saturated with a scented skin cleanser. Rockline Industries of Sheboygan,
Wisconsin (which has a large part of the private label wipe market in several segments) went on to be the first
to innovate the first baby wipe refill pack and pop-up packs which have become common in the marketplace.
1-2-2 The first baby wipes marketed by Kimberly-Clark & Procter & Gamble
The first wet-wipe products specifically marketed as baby wipes, such as Kimberly-Clark's Huggies wipes
and Procter & Gamble's Pampers wipes, appeared on the market in 1990. As the technology to produce wipes
matured and became more affordable, smaller brands began to appear. By the 1990s, most super stores like
Kmart and Wal-Mart had their own private label brand of wipes made by other manufacturers. After this
period there was a boom in the industry and many local brands started manufacturing because of low entry
barriers.

7. 2- Material, ingredients of baby wipes
2-1 What are baby wipes made of? What are the ingredients in baby wipes?
Baby wipes are made of spunlace nonwoven fabric sheets from original pulp, cotton fabric, bamboo fabric,
viscose fiber, polyester etc.

in any event, we use wet wipes often to clean up after
fecal discharge. Choose an alternative baby wipes like
flushable baby wipes. But suppose you have been
flushing your non-biodegradable baby wipes in the toilet
and causes toilet blockage or toilet clogged. In that case,
use sulfuric acid cleaners to dissolve baby wipes in the
pipeline or septic tank. Wear protective gloves and
goggles while using the solution, and work in a well-
ventilated area to avoid strong chemical fumes. Never
mix beach-cleaners or any other chemical to sulfuric acid
to prevent a dangerous chemical reaction.

13. 2. How to use baby wipes properly to work best for your
babies?
There are three kinds of baby wipes: general cleaning,
mouth and hands cleaning, bottom cleaning.
General cleaning: it can be applied on baby skin, any
surface or toys which babies often touch and put in their
mouths. Especially for the pets’ paws if families don’t isolate
them with babies.
Mouth and hands cleaning: Every time when babies finish the meal,
drink milk, sleep, parents should clean the babies’ lips and faces.
Remember after cleaning, it’d better to apply some moisture cream
for prevention of drying their skin.

16. DIAPER SIZE WEIGHT DIAPER DAILY USE Wet Wipes per Day
Newborn Up to 10 lbs. 8–12 diapers per day around 32 to 48 wipes per day
Size 1 8–14 lbs. 8–10 diapers per day around 32 to 40 wipes per day
Size 2 12–18 lbs. 8–9 diapers per day around 32 to 36 wipes per day
Size 3 16–28 lbs. 6–7 per day around 24 to 28 wipes per day
How many baby wipes per day?
We can calculate the baby wipes per day based on diaper usage. 1 wipe for pee change, and 2 to 4
wipes after each poop change. The table below will show daily diaper consumption and the
corresponding baby wipes usage.

17. How long do baby wipes last unopened?
Usually, the wipes packages have seals for leak-prevention and moisture maintenance.
Before the unveiling, the shelf life can last for 2 to 3 years based on some brands but most baby wipes
brands do not have an expiration date. Wet wipes do not truly expire but instead, the moisture lessens thus
leads to losing its effectiveness or mold development in some cases.
After the package opening, if the packages are sealed well or buckled up, it can last for a few months. Since
there is no strong preservative in baby wipes, the pre-moistened wipes with the main ingredient of
purified water can’t be kept for a long time to prevent new bacterial generation.
How long are baby wipes good for?
Baby wipes are good until it keeps its moisture, it is important to keep the lid or opening close after each
use to seal in moisture. If the moisture in baby wipes isn’t be dried away, the ingredients in the wipes can
still be effective for cleaning.

20. Baby wipes: how to make disinfectant wipes?
Baby wipes may be used as DIY disinfecting wipes or homemade disinfectant wipes by adding bleach, and water
into the package. Let it sit for 10 to 15 mins so the wipes can absorb all the ingredients before use. Disinfectant
wipes are more effective if you apply them to the surface and let it dry for 3 to 5 mins.
If you prefer to make your baby wipes to DIY Clorox disinfecting wipes, or homemade Clorox household wipes
here are the ingredients and exact measurement:
-2 cups of water
-2 ½ tablespoon of Clorox bleach
-1 pack of baby wipes (alternative to baby wipes: spunlace
nonwoven fabric dry wipes, thick paper towel, or dried out
wipes)
-DIY disinfecting wipes should be kept out of children’s reach to
avoid inhaling and ingesting.

21. As a manufacturer of wet wipes, we suggest you should take care and take extra precautionary measures to
turn baby wipes into antibacterial hand wipes. As you may not have accurate control on adding correct
measurements on ingredients to assure the effectiveness of the wipes. In the All Clean Natural China
production line, we have continuous research and analysis the perfectly measure the exact percentage and
weight for each ingredient. Our products have been tested in the labs before each batch is moved into our
warehouse.
If you will use baby wipes as DIY antibacterial wipes, the major dilemma is: most baby wipes are pre-
moistened, the spunlace non-woven fabric carries usually two times or more weight of liquid (for example our
liquid weight in baby wipes is three times the dry wipes weight). If you add extra liquid into the wipes, the
non-woven fabric will soak with too much liquid. You can either remove excess liquid from the container or
add dry wipes or paper towels to sip excess liquid. After cleaning on surfaces or hands, leave the surface area
longer to dry out to kill germs and bacteria.
How to make DIY Lysol wipes?
DIY Lysol wipes have the same essential ingredients as the DIY disinfecting wipes, DIY Clorox wipes, or DIY
Lysol wipes. For best results, use a dry paper towel or dry wipes.
