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.

  • 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.
