How to make homemade cleaning wipes that are chemical free and still kill germs.

Have you ever made Homemade Cleaning Wipes?

They are easier to make than you may think, and making your own will not only save you money, but it will also save your health and the environment.

Psst! Why don’t you make sure to pin this post so you don’t forget it!

How? The chemicals commonly found in household cleaning wipes haven’t been tested for human safety and many of them are considered poisonous if consumed. What many of us don’t realize is they also contribute to issues like asthma and lowered immune systems.

I love my Norwex Cloths for everyday household cleaning, but I cannot bring myself to use them on that toilet! The natural brand of cleaning wipes I use are expensive so I decided to take advantage of sales and digital coupons at Dollar General and attempt making homemade cleaning wipes.

They turned out great! And now I’m going to show you just how easy homemade cleaning wipes are to make!

How to make Homemade Cleaning Wipes

 

How to make homemade cleaning wipes that are chemical free and still kill germs.

Start out with a roll of select-a-size strong paper towels. Don’t buy the cheap store brand for this. You want a towel that will handle getting wet and not turn to mush. Scott® brand is a great one.

Find a tall, or several short containers that your cleaning wipes will fit into. I used a tall(ish) one that about 3/4 the roll would fit into, and a short round one for traveling.

You will likely need to cut the roll like I did. For minimal messes, use a sharp chef’s knife rather than a serrated one. I used a small dowel rod to loosen the inner cardboard and remove it, then I cut to size.

Your cleaning mix is

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 20 drops Thieves essential oil blend

Mix together and pour into your containers. Since my roll was cut into 1/4 and 3/4, I poured respective amounts of cleaning mix into their containers.

Drop the paper towels in, seal the lid, and flip the containers upside down to get water to all parts of the roll.

Pull a towel from the center and start wiping down that toilet. Since these are chemical free, if little hands want to help you let them do it too!

I’m putting the little container in Kolton’s “potty bag” for when we are out and about. Worst thing about potty trained toddlers is having to take them into public restrooms. 🙁

How to make chemical free homemade cleaning wipes in just a matter of minutes!

Here’s a quick video showing how easy these Scott homemade cleaning wipes are to make.

Not only are these saving your health and the environment, they also save you money. Save even more by getting coupons at DollarGeneral.com!

That big bag below? Full of Scotts toilet paper (our favorite) and Scotts Select a Size paper towels, with the total being less than $10 by taking advantage of sales and digital coupons! This is what I call a “score” since that will keep our little family in stock for a month or more!

      It took me less than 5 minutes to make these! I think using a sturdy paper towel is the trick since I had tried before with cheap-o ones and they didn’t work well at all.

      Thieves is a relatively common blend. doTerra calls it OnGaurd and other companies have similar names. Basically it’s a great blend for disinfecting 🙂
