Homemade Wipes Recipes

HOMEMADE WIPES

Steps:

• Cut the roll of towels in half with a sharp knife.
• In a plastic container, mix the liquid ingredients very well.
• Add 1/2 of the paper towels, place lid on container and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
• Turn container over and let sit for another 10-15 minutes.
• When all the ingredients have absorbed, pull the brown paper out of the middle and then you can pull the wipes through the center.

HOMEMADE BABY WIPES

Steps:

• Saw the paper towels in half lengthwise with a serrated kitchen knife (not your best one ... this can't be "good" for it). Mix the hot water and following ingredients:
• Put the half roll in a plastic container that has a lid, Tupperware-type, empty roll-type baby wipe container, etc.
• Shredded side down -- I pick as much of the shredded paper off as I can -- otherwise you leave "lint balls" on your baby's bum.
• Pour the water solution over the roll.
• (Don't worry about the cardboard tube.) Let sit about 5 minutes, then turn upside down for 5 more minutes to saturate the roll.
• Now the cardboard tube will pull out easily.
• Pull a "wipe" from the center.
• I make one roll at a time and wash the container well between uses. (Note: Mold can be an issue. Suggestions include using Johnson & Johnson soap or 4 drops of tea tree oil to inhibit mold.)

HOMEMADE FACIAL WIPES

Steps:

• With a serrated knife cut the roll of paper towels to form 2 short rolls. Remove cardboard centers.
• Place one roll into a plastic container that has a lid.
• Mix the water, shampoo and oil well and pour into container. Close to allow towels to absorb liquid.
• To use, pull center sheet from roll.
• Cover tightly between uses.
