Making your own natural cleaning wipes is not only cost-effective, but also a healthier and environmentally friendly alternative to the commercially available options that are laden with harmful chemicals.

- 8 drops of eucalyptus essential oil
- 8 drops of lemon essential oil
- Squares of cloth or reusable fabric
- An airtight container
Procedure:
- Preparation of the Solution: Start by mixing the water, vinegar, and essential oils in a bowl. The vinegar has natural cleaning properties that help disinfect while the essential oils add a refreshing scent and additional antibacterial properties.
- Preparation of the Cloth: Cut a fabric into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred size. A roll of cloth or reusable fabric works very well for this purpose.
- Soaking the Cloth: Once your solution is ready, slowly pour it over the pieces of cloth in your selected container making sure that each piece is well soaked.
- Storing: After your cloths are soaked, simply close the container tightly. This ensures that the solution stays fresh and the cloths can be easily accessed for use.
There you have it! Natural homemade cleaning wipes that are easy to make, cost-effective, and much healthier for both you and the environment.
Care Instructions:
After use, simply rinse the cloth out with soap and water, allow it to dry and return it back to your cleaning solution in the container for reuse. It is advisable to replace the solution every two weeks to keep it fresh and potent.
