when you have crawlers.....

What do you use to wash their hands and feet with after crawling around on the floor? I just get nervous because then they go and stick their hands and feet in their mouths so I don't want floor dirt on them but I don't want soap or a cleaner that hasn't dried yet either.

 

I use either a warm cloth or some wipes.

 

Wipes were easiest for us, since they were all ready in many of the rooms we stayed in.

 

Another wet wipes user here as well.

 

yup, wipes usually does the trick. i used to hate the whole dirty hands thing.....but then you kind of get over it. there is only so much you can do. you can't follow them around and wipe them every 2 seconds.

 

For the most part I don't worry about it. A little bit of dirt isn't going to hurt them. I focus on keeping my floor clean and keeping shoes off in the house. If necessary I usually use a baby wash cloth and warm water. I rarely use soap on them.

 

Same here. I don't do a lot of hand washing on them, instead I just focus on keeping the floors clean. We have hardwood and wool rugs, so I sweep, mop and vacuum (more than I'd like to ). After meals, I wipe them up with warm wash cloths.

 

I used wipes the most (and usually just before meals).

 

I don't really fret over it. We don't wear shoes in the house and I do keep the place vacuumed. As long as they aren't finding things to put in their mouths, then we're all good. It's one more opportunity for them to build up those little immune systems! After they eat or if they manage to get their hands sticky, then I clean them up with a baby wipe and let'm at it once again. Those girls are busy and they've got things to do!
