With everything that is going on in the world lately and stores running out of necessities, I thought it would be fun and resourceful to show y’all how easy it is to make your own disinfectant and cleaning Bleach/Clorox Wipes. These are so simple to make at home and customize to your desired scent, if you don’t like the smell of most cleaning products!

Homemade Antibacterial Wipes:
Ingredients:
- Distilled Water (3 cups)
- Rubbing Alcohol (¾ cup)
- Dawn Dish Soap (6 tbsp)
- Lemon Essential Oil (10 drops)
- Washcloths
- Storage Container
PSA: The best type of alcohol you can use in any of these cleaning/sanitizing recipes is 99% isopropyl alcohol as this will be the most effective. However, I am using 70% as this is all I have on hand and the only thing currently stocked in my stores. It is important to note this will yield a final product that might not be strong enough to kill new viruses.

Directions:

- Pour the cleaning mix into the container over the washcloths
- Put the lid on the container and use as necessary
