Hi Trudy, you can adapt this recipe to make witch hazel disinfecting wipes - https://wholefully.com/homemade-hand-sanitizer/
You've got options for the recipe here, but remember, soap and water are just as good!
1/2 cup Rubbing Alcohol (91%)
1/4 cup Witch Hazel (14% alcohol)
1/4 cup Aloe Vera Gel (Pure)
1/8 cup Vegetable Glycerin
5 drops Tea Tree Oil (optional)
Essential Oils (optional, I like 5 drops of Peppermint)
Combine all the ingredients in a blender (or food processor) and mix for about a minute, then pour into containers.
Tea Tree (Melaleuca) Oil can also be added for natural germ protection. This stuff comes in handy during show season when searching for soap and water isn’t an option. Great for camping too!

Oh wow, I didn't know you could make your own using witch hazel. We have one at home and well we don't use it that much... but yes, nothing beats water and soap still.
