Vinyl office chairs........ the ones with the "wrinkles" around the buttons........ babywipes get all the rotten dust out of the wrinkles.

They get the gecko poo off my leather lounge suite too

Great for cleaning grubby fingermarks off light switches

Oh dear.

You know, like, when you have a little log jam type of problem?

Well, I will just say that it is better than trying to work it out with pencil and paper!

I use them to clean our computers- screens, keyboards and mouse.

I also use them to clean make-up off the collar of my black leather jacket.

They will clean tar off your windscreen and clean your hands better than Swarfega if you have been having a bit of a tinker under the bonnet.

I hate bats...... and their poo :-(

Not "normal" bats, but fruit bats........they're known as flying foxes....

three years ago we had a neighbour with 3 children under 6 - twice in ten months their drain backed up to ours - baby wipes. They swore blind not them - but second time the call out warned them straight irrespective of what it said on packet do not put wipes down the toilet. No call outs after that.
