Kitchen and Bathroom cleaning wipes

Kitchen and Bathroom cleaning wipes



I got this idea on FaceBook! It looked super easy and cost effective AND with all natural ingredients, which are all down my alley! This project without spray painting the can took all of 15 minutes to make...and most of that time was used to cut the paper towel roll in half. So, if you work out and have muscles, this could actually take 10 minutes!

What you need:


  • ¼ cup vinegar 
  • cup distilled water 
  • 1 Tbs or capful of Thieves household cleaner  (or natural dish soap) 
  • 1 tsp Vegetable Glycerine
  • 8-10 drops citrus essential oil (lemon, citrus fresh or orange: your choice)
  • strong Paper towel roll
  • Bread knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Empty coffee can or Tupperware container


 If you want, the day before, you can spray paint your coffee can like I did below.


Instructions:

Cut a roll of paper towels in half, or to the height of your container, with a bread knife. (Use the other half as a replacement roll.) 
Combine the vinegar, water, Thieves household cleaner or dish soap, and essential oil in a mixing bowl, and stir well. 
Cut an X into the lid of your empty coffee can. Spray-paint the color of your choice, (optional), and let dry for at least few hours. 
Slide the half roll into the can, and cover in the liquid. Let it soak in thoroughly before removing the cardboard roll in the center (about 5 minutes). Pull the center up and push it through the X slit in the lid. Snap on the lid and pull the first wipe out. 
Enjoy your nontoxic cleaning wipes!
