Baby wipes for udder cleaning?

[hcppam]

Has anyone used baby wipes for udder cleaning before milking, with blue coat after milking. Udder wipes are so expensive.

I have a friend who uses baby wipes. I use the Clorox disinfecting wipes to wash, and then afterward just dip with teat dip.

I make a udder wash with 2 drops of Dawn Dish liquid and a teaspoon of bleach per quart of water.

I use cheap baby wipes for cleaning off the udder before milking and above solution in a small cup for teat dip.

I keep Dr. Naylor's udder cream and use it if the udder's look chapped or perhaps a little raw....

I've seen a few posts from members who use baby wipes and pour Chlorhexidine over the wipes (while in the container).

Thanks all, I had read that on some sight but wanted to know if anyone here had been using them, I found some at the dollar store and thought what a deal if it would work, So add some beach and a little dawn or Chlorhexidine. LOL I will stock up then.

I use unscented baby wipes. Buy a better brand tho, the cheap ones are very thin and hard to use.

This is what I do as well. I also go for the more "natural" kind...without any added bleach ect. and I haven't had any problems. After that, I spray teats with Fight Back. Works great!

I use wipes too. I get them when Costco has a coupon and buy a box of them. Lasts for the year for me. For me they are much easier to use.

Blu-kote after milking? I wouldn't use that. It's a wound spray, not really a great udder spray. Plus, it's so messy and gets over everything. I use a chlorhex teat dip and it works great.
