Spring refresh: why reusable bamboo wipes are perfect for messy spring days
Spring is almost here!! The days are getting gradually longer, the flowers are blooming (it’s SO joyful seeing the little crocus’ and daffodils pop their heads up out of the grass!) and the kids are… somehow messier than ever? Do your kids get covered in mud, paint and crumbs as soon as they leave the house or is it just mine?
If you’re already bracing yourself for muddy faces, drippy ice creams and sticky fingers - don’t panic. I’ve got you covered.
Reusable bamboo wipes are the eco-friendly, super-soft and really simple but practical solution to keeping your little ones and your home a little cleaner this Spring.
Here’s why these little reusable wonders are a springtime essential.
Spring adventures… A whole lot of mess!
We’ve spent the majority of our time indoors over the Winter, keeping warm and avoiding the deluge of rain and wind that Northumberland offers, Springtime is all about getting outside! Whether it’s park trips, nature walks or playing in the garden. But, with warmer weather comes more mess. Sticky ice-lollies, muddy hands, and the eternal question… What is that?
This is where the wipes come in! Keep a stash of reusable bamboo wipes in your bag, pram or car. Just add a little water and you’re good to go. You can even keep them ready to use in a tub with some water and essential oils to make them smell nice!
Spring cleaning, but make it sustainable.
Ah, Spring cleaning… the time of year when we pretend we’re about to deep-clean the entire house but really we just move the doom piles around, hide everything in a drawer and light a candle. But, if you are feeling motivated, switching to reusable wipes is a greater way to make your cleaning routine a little bit greener.
Ways to use reusable wipes for Spring cleaning:
Ditch the kitchen roll! These wipes are perfect for cleaning down surfaces.
Makeup remover? Check! Super soft and great for sensitive skin.
Dusting - Yes, really. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial, so it’s a great alternative to disposable polishing cloths.
Say goodbye to endless rolls of paper towels and disposable wipes, one set of Handmade Hippo reusable bamboo wipes will last you for ages!
They’re skin-friendly.
Spring is beautiful but it can also bring runny noses, hay fever and skin irritation for some people. If your little ones suffer from sensitive skin, allergies, or just general toddler grubbiness, these wipes are a total game-changer.
Why Bamboo wipes are so good for your sniffles:
Naturally antibacterial and hypo-allergenic (great for sensitive skin!)
Chemical free - just add a little warm water for a gentle clean.
And they’re SUPER soft!
Perfect for face wiping, nose dabbing without causing irritation to their skin.
Perfect for picnics, parks & puddle jumping!!
With Spring comes more time in the great outdoors or at least the garden. But outdoor fun = more mess. If you’re a picnic loving, puddle-jumping kind of parent, you need these reusable wipes in your life.
Handy uses for Springtime adventures:
Wiping down picnic benches before snack time
Cleaning up muddy knees and sticky hands
Emergency napkin!!!
Instead of throwing away yet another disposable wipe (particularly as about 90% of disposable wipes contain plastic to give them that cloth-like feel), add your pre-soaked reusable wipes to your picnic bag in a silicone pouch or container. At the end of the day, just pop them in the wash and use them again next time.
Less waste and more savings.
By switching to reusable wipes you are not only reducing the amount of waste your family produces, but you also save money! Imagine never having to buy kitchen rolls, cleaning wipes or baby wipes again?!
No more last minute dashes to the shop when you realise you’ve run out of wipes.
One pack of bamboo wipes can replace hundreds of disposable ones!
So whether you’re spring cleaning or park adventuring, OR just trying to keep up with the cleaning chaos of day to day life, reusable bamboo wipes are here to make life a little bit easier, cleaner and eco-friendlier.
