DIY Hand Sanitizing Wipes
Stockpiling is not cool. Battle back and make what you can't find. If you are in the same situation as me, you need sanitizing wipes but can't find them.I'm over it and instead, I've made my own. As long as you have access to either Amazon or the Dollar General, you can make these too. You can make these in minutes, not hours and you can make large batches which are best.No more running all over searching (which we are not supposed to be out anyway) or tackling the internet to find supplies. Instead, make your own DIY Hand Sanitizing Wipes. This DIY Is EASY and only takes a few things to make it happen.

Equipment
- Knife to cut through paper towel
- Spoon to mix
- Large measuring cup or mixing bowl
- containers for wipes
Materials
- 1 Roll of Name brand paper towels
- 1 Plastic Container 1/2 size of paper towels
- a few glass jars with airtight lids optional
- 2 C Hot Water
- 1 C 70%-90% Isopropyl Alcohol
- 1 TBSP Dish Soap
- 2 TBSP Coconut Oil
- 15-20 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Instructions
- First cut a roll of paper towels in 1/2.
- Be very careful doing such.
- Next, if it is too wide to fit the collar of the jar, skinny it down by taking paper towels off the roll
- Reserve these paper towels (and fold them in half into squares for use in small optional jars)
- Once the paper towel (and cardboard roll) fit into the container, push it in and make the mixture.
- In a large mixing cup, boil and then cool 2 cups of water.
- Add-in 1 c of alcohol.
- Next add in coconut oil.
- Then add in the essential oil of choice. (I used eucalyptus)
- Mix well.
- Now, pour mixture over the paper towels, replace lid and give it a good shake.
- The shaking motion alone may promote the cardboard tube to release from the towels.
- Open the lid of the container and remove the cardboard roll.
- From the middle where the cardboard roll was pull up to release the first wipe.
- That's it.
- If you chose to use the square, you may need to make a 1/2 batch of this to coat the 4 containers of paper towel squares.
Notes
Use a name brand paper towel
I suggest using paper towels with portions, instead of full sheets.
