Baby wipes will clog up drainage pipes in a heartbeat. (Don't ask how I know). Even the ones that are suppose to be dissoluble causes problems and costly Roto-Rooter bills.
If you truly want to be "green" your best solution is a simple wash cloth and water.
If you want something really practical, durable, but still disposable, go to any Lowe's or Home Depot and pick a box of shop towels or a roll of shop towels. We quit using brand name paper towels a long time ago and use shop towels for everything now. They come is a blue color and a white color. They are paper, but a heavy duty paper material that can be rinsed and reused a time or two. (They make "Bounty" look puney!) Because it's just a paper (like a very heavy paper towel), you can burn them in your campfire, or toss out with the rest of your trash. Dry them out and use them again until they simply fall apart. I never tried to see how fast they dissolve, and you will NOT want to flush them down a toilet.
Lowe's and Home Depot also sell cloth shop towels. They are often in a bundle and you get like 50 of them for a couple bucks. We've been using these around the house for months now. Machine washable, or because they are so cheap, just toss away if you get grease or oil on them or they stain and look nasty. They are great too.
