DIY Sanitizing Wipes

Keep surfaces that multiple people touch clean and sanitized, such as TV and video game controls, telephones, computer and tablet keyboards, grocery store carts, your car’s steering wheel, etc., (and little one’s sticky fingers) by having a cleaning and sanitizing wipe handy that you’ve prepared yourself.

INGREDIENTS  1/3 cup water  2/3 cup alcohol  2 Tablespoons aloe vera gel  10-15 drops essential oil – eucalyptus, rosemary, spruce (or any scent/cleaning combo you like)  Cotton or microfiber cloth

INSTRUCTIONS  Cut cloth into squares or rectangles and stack them on top of each other.

 Mix ingredients in a refrigerator storage container, or heavy-duty plastic bag with a zip closure top.

 Soak cloths in the alcohol mix liquid.

 Squeeze out excess liquid and place cloths in zip-closure plastic bag to take with you.

 Store the rest of the cloths in a container in the refrigerator.

 Use wipes for quick cleanups in the house and wherever you go. (Make sure to squeeze out excess liquid from each wipe first.)

 Wash individual cloths after each use, then soak them in the cleaning mixture and reuse the cloths again and again.
