For
each of recipes, you’ll need:
1/2
roll Bounty Select-A-Size paper towels (or Viva can
be used, but most others will turn to mush quickly)
1 plastic airtight container (like Rubbermaid) to
hold the paper towels
One
of the following solutions:
- Baby
Wipes: 2 T baby lotion, 2 T baby bath/body wash,
2 C water
- Face
Wipes: 2 T baby bath/body wash and 2 C water
- Bathroom
Disinfectant Wipes*: 1/2 C pine cleaner and 1 1/2 C
water
- Glass/Multi-Surface
Wipes: 1 1/2 C glass cleaner and 1/2 C water
- Bug
Wipes: 1 C Avon Skin so Soft and 1 C water
*For
disinfecting, check the label on your cleaner for
the strength needed to kill germs and adjust the proportion as
needed. Some pine cleaners are more concentrated than
others.
One
caution: By using tap water there is a possibility
of bacteria/mold growing. You can boil the water
first and allow it to cool before making these solutions
which may give them a longer shelf life or you can use
distilled water.
On
the go? Fill a heavy duty zipper-seal quart
bag with folded paper towels and add a 1/2 recipe.
Perfect for camping!
With
all these recipes, use appropriate safety precautions
to protect yourself and your loved ones!
