Homemade Antibacterial Wipes Recipe

Disposable cleaning wipes are convenient, but are laden with harsh chemicals that can be harmful to pets and children. You can make your own anti-bacterial cleaning wipes that not only work better than commercial brands, but are also safe for your pets and children. You can get your kids involved in making the wipes and then put them to work to wipe down your doorknobs, light switches and even the toilets.

Here is what you will need:

• Empty cleaning wipe container cleaned and dried
• 2 cups warm water
• 1 paper towel roll - Bounty brand recommended for durability
• 5 drops lemon essential oil
• 5 drops lemongrass essential oil
• 5 drops tea tree essential oil

Use a serrated knife to cut the paper towel roll in half to make a shorter roll so it is the height of your wipe container. Mix the water and essential oils together in a glass jar and shake it. Stuff the paper towel roll tightly into the container and pour liquid over papertowels. Once wet, the cardboard roll pulls easily out of the middle of the paper towels. Remove one paper towel out of the middle of the roll at a time for cleaning. You can get this recipe and others for free with the Cleaning Pack of essential oils.
