I pinned this idea for homemade disinfecting/clorox wipes a few weeks ago and recently made some of my own.
I made 14 wipes so I used smaller quantities of the suggested ingredients:
1/2 cup of water
1/8 cup rubbing alcohol
1 T. Dawn dish soap (*author says to only use Dawn)
Mix everything together in a container that has a lid. (I washed out an old baby wipes container and used it.) Then add the wipes, put the lid on, and flip the container over so the liquid can be absorbed into the rags. I had 14 cotton rags (old white undershirts) that absorbed this amount of the liquid mixture perfectly, not too wet, but just moist enough.
I like using these to wipe down my bathroom sinks and toilets in-between regular cleaning. (And they are great for wiping off, around, behind, below and underneath the toilet that is used by a little boy!)
i've been meaning to try something like this! thanks for sharing and linking up :)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about these, and wondering if there was a recipe out there. I think I might try them out.:)
ReplyDeletepinning this thanks!

Great idea! I use disposable disinfecting wipes for in between cleanings in the the bathroom, too. I also a 6yr old boy, whose aim leaves something to be desired!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I don't like disposable wipe as it seems so wasteful but this a great idea for quick cleanups. Luckily my son will soon no longer need his onesies (he's potty training) so I'll have a bunch of rags really soon.
ReplyDeleteJust curious, any reason Dawn was specified?
Great idea and then they are ready to go when you need them!
ReplyDeleteGenius!
Thanks for linking up this week - so happy to have you here!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this great idea with us at The Sunday Round Up. I used cloth diapers and made my own wipes too. I think they work better then the store bought ones.

I do something similar only I use a biodegradable all natural soap and scrip the alcohol. Instead I use organic essential oils of Lemon and TeaTree, 10 drops of each. If you need help acquiring them I am available. No need to rinse and is safe for babies.
