How To Make DIY Disinfectant Wipes


My business partner Rachel from Ecolicious Mama shared how to make her own disinfecting wipes for a fraction of the price! I absolutely LOVE the Get Clean NON-TOXIC (found at this website http://healthysteps.myshaklee.com/us/en/ enter "wipes" in the search bar) I usually always use these terrific disinfecting wipes for home or in the car. However for all the disinfecting we have to do around here with my husband's new tracheotomy I decided to go this economic, yet very disinfecting route .
I truly appreciate when household things can be done simply and quickly and these very simple, inexpensive, and powerful cleaning and disinfectant wipes take less than 5 minutes!
Many people love the Clorox Wipes, Lysol Wipes, toilet wipes, surface wipes… the list goes on and on. If it’s a wipe, usually people love it! But they can get pretty pricey, not to mention highly toxic, so I wanted to share my easy way of making your own for just pennies of solution per canister! The paper towels are the only real expense with this project since I re-purpose old canisters, like the Shaklee 180 protein canisters which are the perfect size for this!

 To make your own wipes, it costs just pennies of the same cleaning solution, so if you have 5 minutes go ahead and whip up some of these wonderful and crazily inexpensive wipes! (Yep, that’s all it took me! 5 minutes!)

Here’s exactly how to do it, all of the details are below!

Cost Comparison:

Clorox or Lysol Wipes – Approximately $2.99-$4.99 per canister of 35 wipes
DIY Basic G Wipes - Approximately $.45 to $.65 per canister of 48-50 wipes, depending on the cost of the paper towels
I buy all my nontoxic cleaning products from my favorite natural health supplier Shaklee. (You can  order them from the web site above).They have a complete line of nontoxic cleaning concentrates to save money, trucking costs, and packaging waste because they are highly concentrated. Can  you believe 1 bottle of multipurpose concentrate equals over 7000 bottles of Windex? 
The cleaning concentrates that you dilute into spray bottles are super convenient.
