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.

Great article! I use them to wipe the dust in my car too (usually when I'm waiting in the school carpool line).

MacGuyver Mommy is accurate! Great advice. I use these while traveling. Try a box in the fridge for hot flashes as well - place on neck!

Thanks Kimberley. I had forgotten about that use. They do work well on the dash. Great tip. :-)

I have used wipes for all the things mentioned in the article and the comments. I have also used them to dust the dash in my cars before. They make everything shine just like if I had cleaned with the regular shine cleaners on the market like Armorall. Great Job on this piece.
