I made this: Reusable Cleaning Wipes

I've wanted to tackle this project for a while now, but had to wait until I used the last of my Lysol cleaning wipes so I could have an empty container. I really always hated the idea of buying disposable wipes (wasting the environment, who knows what chemicals are in them) but they are so handy for quick clean up.

I started doing a little research and quickly discovered that I could make my own for super cheap. I used Homemade Ginger's recipe and just modified it a little based on the cleaning product I had on hand.  I do want to buy Dr. Bronner's soap, because it seems to be a be all end all soap product, but for now we have lots of stuff on hand so when it starts to run out, that will be what I buy.  For this project (if you can call it that) I used Mrs. Meyers Clean Day, which I LOVE.  Her products are pretty earth friendly and smell amazing.

There isn't much else to tell you except I love the smell, ease and environmental [non] impact that these new wipes have.

Cut up some old tee shirts


Mix some Mrs. Meyers with some water and put it all in your old Lysol container

For extra credit make a label

It's so easy and you will feel so domestic and accomplished for doing it.
