Homemade counter wipes. I have seen the recipes for baby wipes but I am looking for something like the stoe bought ones. I know I need a container, roll of paper towels but can not remember what cleaner to use. I am looking to disinfect/all purpose cleaner.

now that cold season is here thought I would give this a try.

Here you go, make the same as baby wipes

You will need between 2 and 4 cups of cleaning solution, depending on the size and absorbency of the paper towel product selected. These recipes make about three cups of solution; increase or decrease amounts if needed.

General Surface Cleaning:
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 cups water

Disinfectant Cleaning:
1/4 to 1/2 cup pine cleaning solution such as Pine-Sol brand
2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cup water

Window and Glass Cleaning:
1/2 cup rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol
2 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Place the lid on the plastic food storage container, and allow paper towels to absorb cleaning solution for 4 hours to overnight.

I made the disinfectant cleaner last night. We didn't have any Pine Sol, so I used some Mr. Clean we had lying around in the cleaner closet. We haven't used the Mr. Clean on the floors in months since we switched to the Swiffer Wet Jet, so this was a great way to use that Mr. Clean up! And, my husband had found a deal on Bounter Select-A-Size paper towels at Sam's Club before our wedding, so we had tons of those up in the cleaner closet, too. (Those paper towels were the PERFECT size for wipes!)

It ended up making SEVEN quart-size ziplocs full of cleaner wipes, so I am pretty excited about that! I used items we had lying around the house anyway, and I know that if we would have bought that many cleaner wipes at the store, it would have been so expensive.

So, thanks for sharing that recipe. Even my husband thought they worked really well. (Yes, he helps clean the house on Saturdays. Aren't I lucky?!)
