Homemade Disinfecting Wipes are so easy to make at home. This DIY version is cheaper than what you would find in stores and easy to keep on hand at home. These are especially nice to have during this corona virus outbreak seeing the stores soled out with products including disinfecting wipes.
We’ve been making All Natural Cleaners for years and love using ingredients that we know and feel safe about. You will also want to check out our Homemade Hand Sanitizer that meets the guidelines of killing viruses.

Homemade Disinfecting Wipes
Every year we are so desperate to keep our house free from germs so we don’t get sick. This year has been even more intense as we navigate new illnesses.
It makes me feel prepared and safe when I know that I have the ability to clean my house with ingredients I have at home if I run out of the store bought stuff.
What Are Ingredients for Homemade Disinfecting Wipes
- distilled water
- Isopropyl alcohol at least 70%
- dawn dish soap
- orange essential oil (optional)
- 1 paper towel roll
How To Make Homemade Disinfectant Wipes
- Take an empty wet wipe container you’ve got laying around the house or glass jar with a lid that is big enough to fit a paper towel roll.
- Place the roll inside of your container and measure where you should cut the roll, and cut with a large knife.
- Separately, mix together the sanitizing ingredients: water, alcohol, and dish soap. If you have essential oils you want to use for scent add that in as well. We really like to use the citrus scents in these.
- Pour the alcohol mixture on top of the paper towels and let mixture absorb all the way to the bottom of the roll. Then pull the tube from the center of the roll and pull the middle paper towel out of the top.
- Voila – you’ve made your own disinfecting wipes!
