Cloth Wipe Solution Recipes
Everyone has their own preference when it comes to wipes, storage, wetting, and solution.  Perhaps these ideas will get your thoughts flowing.
I use about 3 cups water
1T Jason's Tea Tree Oil hand soap
1T Burts Bees apricot baby oil
1-2 drops tea tree oil

I store it in a container and don't have any "stink" or "musty" problems.  I dip wipes in and wring them out as I need them, or you can leave the wipes soaking in it in a disposable wipes container.
2 cups water (some boil first, I use a PUR faucet filter & run it through a Britta jug filter as well  LOL)
1 tbsp baby shampoo
1 tbsp baby oil
1 tbsp vinegar - this prevents mold growth
a couple drops Lavendar essential oil for it's skin benefits as well as pretty smell  ;)  (Some people prefer Tea Tree, but it doesn't smell as nice
LOL)

I usually fill up a small juice jug & keep the mixture in the fridge for the week....  Only ever couple of days I hafta refill the wipey bin (an old Pampers wipe box), this way a 1/2 dozen or so wipes are always wet.  If you don't use vinegar, though, they can start to smell funny  *HTH*
i use a squirt or two of baby wash, a capful of bert bee's apricot oil and mix with distilled water... I have a 20oz water bottle and fill it up with the water.  Also, you can boil tap water and let it cool if u cant use distilled water.  Some add tea tree oil to prevent mildew, but i dont use it and dont have any problems.  I carry dry wipes and my little bottle of solution in the diaper bag and wet the wipes as i need them.  HTH :)
