I do about the same thing, but it was by accident that I discovered using the wipes to clean the inside tip of the bag (as my kids are teens now). I was still in the hospital when my mom brought me some wipes to use in the bathroom. When I first emptied my bag, I couldn't figure out what to do with the yucky tip of my bag when ... I spotted the wipes. It was a lucky moment for me. I also use them to clean the outside of the bag because it seems no matter how hard you try to prevent it, stuff still gets on the bag, hands, toilet, everywhere! I also occassionally use alcohol swabs to clean my clip just as an extra step to keep any bacteria, viruses, etc. that may have been missed with the wipe off of, or out of my bag. This is expecially because the clip is so exposed. I am always afraid the clip might have touched something (like the rim of the toilet) that I missed when using public facilities. Cleaning the clip with alcohol makes me feel I likely killed anything that could creep up my bag and get directly into my colon. Easy stomach virus access. Yikes! Oh, I see your uses for the wipes.
