Hey, those are awesome!
You reminded me of something- used dryer sheets are great eyeglesses wipes. They remove static so fibers don't get attracted as soon as you're done wiping.

The baby powder also works on an especially nasty diaper. Instead of using a billion wipes, wipe up the baby superficially, sprinkle the powder, and then wipe the rest of it- it will come off easily.
