Have a question about this project?
Does the alcohol take the place of the bleach? Does this disinfect?
I went to the Dollar store and bought some "disposable" wipes that I have used over and over by putting them through the washer as needed to clean. Stains DO NOT remain on them so no matter what you clean with them, they still come out looking clean. With washing they become a bit softer but that is no problem. I discovered that the original Clorox wipe container still had solution in the bottom after I finished using the wipes out of it, so I placed the reusable wipes in the container and within a day they were moist with the solution and worked very well the same way. You could use this solution recipe in that original container as well. I really like that I don't have to do a lot of wringing out the liquid to use the clothes, so I would make just enough to moisten the wipes well.
I have tried making homemade wipes before and they have molded. I have used heavy duty paper towels though. Would that have made the difference
To prevent mold, the best thing is to make sure there is liquid covering all the towels. Since there aren’t preservatives in it like the store-bought version, anything exposed can cause mold, so heavy liquid usually helps. I have a photo of that above :)
Can hydrogen peroxide be used in place if the alcohol?
It won’t match up to the original ingredients as well, but you can definitely use it
