DIY Reusable Wipes

Andrea Fabry
by Andrea Fabry
Ditch the chemicals and make your own gentle reusable wipes!
Cut one paper towel roll in half. (You will want to use a small roll, or wait until a thick roll is reduced to half its size.)
Combine 2 cups filtered water with two tablespoons liquid castile soap (grate 4 oz. bar of castile soap and combine with 4 c. hot water), one tablespoon coconut oil, one tablespoon glycerine, 4-5 drops of tea tree oil, and a natural preservative like grapefruit seed extract or colloidal silver. (Substitute lavender essential oil for the tea tree oil to create safe baby wipes.)
Remove the cardboard from the inside of the paper towel rolls. Combine your liquid ingredients and pour into an old baby wipe container or glass container that is similar in size.


Place the paper towel roll into the container. Push hard until the roll is immersed in the soap mixture. Pull from the middle of the roll to get it started, before the roll is saturated. Pull the first wipe through the opening and use as needed!
