All of these can also break down or lose their potency if the wipes have past their shelf life. To test whether wipes have lost their cleaning power, you can simply wipe them on your hands and see if you feel a soapy texture.
Just like how you can add water to dried wipes to refresh them, you can add baby shampoo to the wipes to give them a boost. To add baby shampoo, you would have to mix it with water, pour it over wipes and give them a good shake. Again,since you are adding water, make sure to use them up sooner.

Most baby wipes manufacturers state that unopened packages of their wipes remain usable for years after manufacturing and opened packs for 4 weeks. The truth is, baby wipes do not expire, at least not in the same way that food does.
They will most likely still be safe to use past the expiration date printed on the pack, although they may not be as effective. There are, however, other factors that affect how well your baby wipes work. There are also ways to make sure that your baby wipes do not lose their effectiveness before the expiration date on the pack. The high water content of wipes means that the moisture and cleaning agents in wipes can quickly evaporate if the pack is not closed tightly enough.
To avoid this, try to purchase packages that come with flip-top lids that snap shut to help keep moisture from evaporating out, as opposed to packages that close with sticker tabs that may lose their adhesiveness over time. If your baby wipes do dry out, you can easily re-hydrate them by adding some distilled water and waiting for it to soak through the whole pack.
You can also soak dried-out wipes in a homemade baby wipes solution to make them more effective. Moist environments make great breeding grounds for bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Your pack of baby wipes is no exception. Wipes made without alcohol and preservatives are even more susceptible to contamination due to their lack of preservatives and antiseptics.

The moisturizers and detergents in organic or natural wipes are also prone to degradation due to their lack of preservative agents.
Water Wipes are less likely to have settling or degradation of certain ingredients due to virtue of the wetting agents in them being almost completely water. It is easy enough to test if your wipes are still effective. Rub them against your hands and see if they still have a soapy feel to them.
