Homemade Disinfectant Wipes
Are unsuccessful trips to the store leaving you frustrated with trying to find disinfectant supplies?
Well the good news is you can make your own DIY (clean) disinfectant wipes, using a few common household items that are safe for surfaces and your hands!
W H A T Y O U N E E D
1 paper towel roll (cut in half)
2 tsp Dawn dish soap
1 cup isopropyl alcohol
10 drops essential oil (lemon, eucalyptus, mint, or tea tree)
2 cups distilled water
Wide glass jar with a sealed lid or an old disinfectant wipe container
D I R E C T I O N S
Cut a paper towel roll in half using a serrated knife and place into your jar
Next, mix water, alcohol and essential oil together in a deep bowl
Pour the mixture around the edges of the paper towel in the jar and allow to soak for 3 minutes
Once you have soaked the paper towel for 3 minutes, remove the middle piece from the paper towel and discard
Use the center to pull your disinfectant from and store in a sealed container when not in use
It’s as easy as that! Now you can have an endless supply of disinfectant wipes made right in your home. Not only will you save money and time from going to the store, but using these are a much safer and non-toxic alternative especially when in contact with the skin.
What can these wipes be used on?

door knobs
keys
phone
keyboard
sinks/faucets
light switches
car steering wheel and gear shift
etc.
Stay healthy and safe out there!
