Muslin Wipe cloth

Muslin Wipe Cloth for Baby — Reusable 100% Cotton

A muslin wipe cloth is a small, soft cotton square used to clean a baby's face, hands and body — a reusable alternative to disposable wet wipes. Dampened with plain water, it does nothing but clean, which is the point: newborn skin is thinner than adult skin and absorbs whatever is put on it. Zizuka wipe cloths are 100% natural cotton muslin with no fragrance, alcohol or preservatives.

Why cloth wipes instead of wet wipes

Most disposable wet wipes contain preservatives and fragrance, and paediatricians in India commonly advise plain water and cloth for the first few months, particularly around the face and eyes. Cloth is also cheaper over time and produces no waste. The trade-off is honest: you need to carry a damp one when out, and wash them afterwards.

How many wipe cloths does a newborn need?

Keep 12 to 24 on rotation. They are used constantly — feeds, dribble, nappy changes, face and hand cleaning — and washing every two or three days means a good number are always in the machine. Multi-packs are the practical way to build the stack.

What else they get used for

Most parents find these become the most-used cloth in the house: burp cloth in a pinch, a cool compress in summer, a shade over the pram. Pair them with muslin burp cloths for feeds and muslin nappies for changes. Browse all muslin cloth for baby essentials.
