I got this brand of wet wipes called dude wipes mint chill. Are they safe to clean my budgies' cage with?

I would not personally use them. Fragrance alone is not recommended around birds, and essential oils are controversial.

I use a microfibre cloth + a scrub bucket. It's reusable, really much better than paper towels & you could put whatever was safe on it. I honestly use straight water on the cages though.

Water Wipes in the baby aisle are possibly the only thing you can find in a standard store I would use. Paper towel with vinegar and water is far cheaper and more effective, though.

I use @F10 spray and wipe it up with a paper towel about once a week. I hoover the crumbs etc up and change papers daily.

Just get yourself a cheap bottle of vinegar and mix with a little water. That is all you need unless the birds in the cage you are cleaning had contagious diseases. Then switch to F10 for safety.
