What causes those oil spots?? DH gets them on his clothes all the time and can't figure out where they are coming from. Is it dryer sheets?

Supposed to be from using dryer sheets in an already hot dryer. This is why is doesn't happen each time you use them. Only happens when the dryer is hot when you put in the sheets and causes the oils to come out unevenly in the clothing. I have ruined several blouses this way! No more, though, thanks to the blue balls!

Go here for a full list of the recipes posted here before. I believe baby wipes are also on that list.

ah yes! That is where I saw it! I thought I had already seen it somewhere, but couldnt for the life of me figure out where! I bookmarked your blog, but I guess that doesnt do me a whole lot of good if I can't remember that your blog is where I saw all of the recipes!

Thanks thechickcrew!

Do you know of a comparable substitute for the baby oil?

 

[Acre of Blessings]

Pure Lanolin liquid Oil, but not sure where you can get it. Try wal-mart or some other big store like that.

Yes, it is the dryer sheets. I had that problem many years ago. Stopped using the dryer sheets (after ruining a few blouses) and have never had the problem again.

Thanks!!!

Do you know if these more economical that the store bought baby wipes? We use the parents choice brand from Wal mart. I don't know that I would want to use them if they are more expensive especially with my kids extra sensitive skin.
