To make your own disposable wet wipes all you need to start are just a few simple items that, if you have a baby, you probably already have on hand. Here is a step by step guide to make your own wet wipes.
First start with a roll of quality paper towels.
These need to be thick and durable
paper towels. I like the Bounty Basic
paper towels. They are fairly reasonably
priced and yet hold up well. Next, cut
the roll in half. An electric knife
works well for this, but for years I just
used a serated bread knife.
Then mix 2 tablespoons each of baby oil and baby wash
in a 2 cup-measuring cup.Then fill it the rest of the way
with water.
Place the one part of the roll of paper towels into a vertical container.
Pour the water and soap mixture over the paper towels and allow
to sit for a couple of hours (sometimes I have only waited 30 min
or so and it was fine, when you need wet wipes you NEED wet wipes).
Then pull the now wet cardboard tube out of the center and the paper towels
will follow. Continue to pull from the center as needed.
You have successfully made wet wipes. These cost less than $1 per box to make and they last me almost a
month per box. Obviously your cost can change depending on the soap and oil that you buy and the brand
of paper towels. For most of us wet wipes are a daily need and I can’t tell you how much I love the smell and feel and durability of these for such a cheap price.
