Detergent-free wipes for geriatric care

This study assesses the feasibility of using minimal-ingredient, detergent-free wipes—originally designed for infants—as a gentler alternative for the delicate skin of elderly residents in nursing homes. Qualitative results obtained from 71 residents suggest that these wipes are effective, well-received by staff, and could lead to time and cost savings compared to traditional cleaning methods.

Cleaning the newborn diaper area: a literature review

New parents often face a dilemma: healthcare professionals generally recommend using cooled boiled water and cotton balls, while baby wipes, with their varying compositions, are often the subject of conflicting advice. This literature review will examine our current understanding of newborn skin, diaper rash, and evidence-based diaper area cleansing practices.
