Making the Wipes
Step 1: Reuse an old coffee canister as the container for your wipes. You can leave it as is, or you can spray paint the can, both inside and out, to give it a pop of color, while also preventing it from rusting
Step 2: Cut a paper towel in half using a knife (serrated knives work the best), and place both halves vertically into the coffee canister. It’s okay if you have to squish the rolls to get them in; this will not affect the end result.
Step 3: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap. You may also add in your preferred essential oil to provide a hint of your favorite scent as well as an increased level of antibacterial properties.
Step 4: Pour the mixture over the paper towels, allowing the liquid to completely saturate it. Proceed by removing the cardboard center and gently pulling a paper towel from the middle.
Step 5: Using a crafting needle, poke several holes in the plastic cover of the coffee canister so that you are able to use a pair of scissors to cut a hole about a half inch in diameter. Feed the paper towel through the hole, and place the lid on the canister.
You now have your very own DIY cleaning wipes that not only kill bacteria, but are all-natural, so you can use them without the worry of irritating your skin or harming the environment.
