So, with this Covid-19 virus going around I had other things to share today, but part of me feels weird sharing things here, so I wanted to take a day or two and start sharing all of our home decor and DIY posts again next week & today I wanted to pop in and share something helpful. I made some DIY disinfectant wipes today & I wanted to share the quick tip with you guys as well in case you were looking for an affordable way to disinfect your homes in this pandemic or if you have gone to the grocery store & they were out. It’s super simple to make & you probably have all the ingredients already in your home…
Ready to use wipes make keeping your home disinfected super easy and accessible when you are needing to wipe down all the things constantly. Here is what you need:
- A paper towel roll
- a knife
- bleach
- water
- container
Here is how to make the disinfectant wipes:
- Take a normal sized paper towel roll and place it in the container.
- Mark the top of the container with a marker
- Cut 1/2 to 1 below the mark with a knife
- Mix 1/4 cup splash less chlorine to 2 1/4 water
- Remove cardboard core from the paper towel
- Insert paper towel in container and allow for mixture to
- Absorb into the paper towel.
You can use a recycled wipes container for this DIY as it would be super easy to pull through the towels through the hole as that is what it was designed for, but to be honest any center will do. You can use the bleach as it disinfects everything, but there are also other combinations to use when making these wipes as well. Here are just a few:
DIY Windex:
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol
- 1/2 cup vinegar
Disinfectant Wipes [Non-Bleach]
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap
- 5-10 drops essential oil (optional)
Essential oil wipes:
- water
- dish soap
- rubbing alcohol
- drops of
- simple clean essential oil blend
Directions Mix ingredients together and pour over paper towels.
You can also do this with re-useable wash cloths if you have them on hand by simply placing a bunch of cloths in a jar [cut them up if large. or you can cut t-shirts or rags up] Place them in the jar and pour over the ingredients as needed. Super simple and effective!! Stay safe friends. Stay vigilant. & of course, be kind. Love you all! xx
