Home made wipes! Better and cheaper!


Wipes
** Most ingredients found cheapest at  vitacost.com ***
1 roll of viva paper towels makes 2 or 3 containers of wipes
Option 1: cut roll in half and stick into empty folgers container. Cut slit in lid. After mixture is added the carboard roll with be wet and you can put it out of the center, with it will come a paper towel, pull this through the center cut.  2 per roll.
Option 2: cut roll in half. Separate paper towels. Fold in half. Add to empty huggies or pampers container stacking them on top of eachother. 3 per roll.

1 tbsp olive oil or calendula (both are healing agents)
10 drops Tea tree oil (this is a disinfectant and prevents molding)
1 tbsp aloe vera
3 tbsp witch hazel (can be witch hazel with aloe)
4 tbsp castile soap (I use almond castile because it smells better)
4 ½ cups water.
Mix all ingredients well.

1 ½ cups solution is needed for folded wipes in a huggies or pampers container. Be sure to pour slowly and in layers so all the towels absorb.
2 ½ cups solution is needed for Folgers container wipes. Be sure to pour slowly, evenly and layered so it all absorbs!

This mixture makes 7 cups of mixture. That is 2 huggies containers, 1 folgers container and a serving size amount prepared and waiting for that day where you run out and need wipes quick!
