DIY Sani Wipes

These are great when traveling with kids or at the grocery stores to wipe off the handle of your cart. Fold paper towels or napkins and put them into a wipe container. Use 1 1/2 cup of warm water, add 1 Tbsp. of coconut oil, and 1 tsp. of alcohol. Add 3 drops of lavender oil if you like. Then mix well and pour the mixture into the container of napkins to saturate them. Makes 2 containers.These are very handy.

Homemade Antibacterial Wipes

Ingredients:

1/2 roll BOUNTY paper towels (the others turn to mush)
2 and 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup antibacterial type cleaner (Mr. Clean, etc.)

Directions:

Cut paper towels in half with serrated or electric knife. Place cut side down in airtight container. Boil water, add cleaner, pour over paper towels. Remove wet cardboard tube. To use, pull out wipes from center.

I use a Folger's plastic coffee can for my container. It's the perfect size! To use: fill with cold water and 1/4 cup white vinegar and let sit overnight, this removes the coffee smell.

I used the inexpensive brand of baby wipes at BJ's and add 1 cup of water that one teaspoon of tea tree oil has been added and mixed and let the wipes absorb the the water.

Cut a roll of paper towels in half (serrated Knife works well) so it looks like two toilet tissue rolls. Into a liquid tight container. big enough to hold the cut roll of towels (old baby wipe container or regular plastic-ware.) Pour: 1 cup water 1 tablespoon baby wash OR baby shampoo (that's also for regular baby wipes) Now add approximately 10 drops tea tree oil for anti bacterial and anti fungal properties. I wouldn't use this on the baby as I do not know what it could do to sensitive skin it is related to eucalyptus. Put smooth side of roll down into the liquid, leave to 15 minutes, flip over so smooth side is up, cardboard core should lift right out of the center. I throw out the first towel as it has glue on it. For the second Roll get another container Pour: 1 cup water pour A little pine sol Soak towels flip..now leave in bathroom for a quick clean-up. Don't confuse the two. LABEL YOUR CONTAINERS! Alcohol is used in sanitizing products, I have not tried this with paper towels.

I use alcohol, paper towels and an empty baby wipe container. I have never had trouble with anyone getting sick at my in home day care.
