Cloth wipes solution

What do you use? We were using the one that came with the cheeky wipes but it has just finished. Any ideas of what I can make myself?

I use a tablespoon of castille soap, a tablespoon of olive oil and about 10 drops of both lavender and tea tree oil in a spray bottle filled with water. It lasts about 2 weeks. But half the time I'm changing him in a different room and just run the wipes under the faucet. Both clean equally well, but I like to think the solution is nice for his skin.

We just use water straight from a warm tap, it works just fine.

I used to use water, a dash of oil (veg/olive etc), a few drops of tea tree, some lavender and some sweet orange oil. I don't bother now, it's not worth it and I've read that if you dilute tea tree too much it's counter productive.

I use baby bum drops, but I have a gf who uses lavender oil & tea tree oil with water.

I've just been using water too. I was told plain water is best for a newborn.
