DIY Disinfectant Wipes Multi-Surface Cleaning

Some of the items we purchase the most frequently are the easiest to make. 
However, when you make your own, your cost will decrease. 
DIY Disinfectant wipes are great for wiping down multiple surfaces (non-porous).
The DIY Disinfectant wipes I am about to share with you can be used in bathrooms, and on sealed granite countertops too!
I always strive to create DIY's that are easy and useful. 
What is more useful than a multi-surface cleaning wipe?
A simple DIY to make them, of course, is the answer! 
This DIY is super for multiple surfaces and costs pennies on the dollar to mass-produce at home! 
In about five minutes or less from start to finish you will create great smelling, disinfectant wipes. 
What is better about my DIY Disinfectant wipes is that there is no question about mixtures combinations and strengths. 
Where others might boast how to make DIY disinfectant wipes ingredients might lead to less disinfecting strength. 
Don't reinvent the wheel, just try this, and you will have completed your first DIY in minutes! 
Now, are you ready to make your own DIY disinfectant wipes with 2 ingredients?

Notes

Always use the best brand of paper towels you can afford. 
Cheaper paper towels may (have, I have used this over and over)  disintegrate over time in the cleaning solution.
