Title: Compostable dairy/teat wipes?
Post by: Anke on April 03, 2022, 08:29:07 pm

As title says - does anyone know of compostable teat wipes, preferably online availability?


Oh and I know about using muslin and warm water etc, it just doesn't work if you need to milk 10 goats...

We did manage to get water-based dairy wipes from our agri merchant for a while, but it's all the chemical ones now. 

If you do find anything, please let us know!

No luck with finding any... so I am going down the washable cotton clothes (Ikea sells baby cloths at 4.50 for 10) and Milton solution...


Just annoying - as in extra work and washing machine use - but my goats (esp at this time of year) manage to get their udders quite dirty and I do need to clean before milking.


I could use waterbased wipes for humans, but that would become expensive very quickly.
