Cleaning Wipes Recipe

Making this recipe is an easy job since you have most of the ingredients lying around the house anyway. You will need to grab a wide-mouthed jar (preferably a quart-sized mason jar or more) and about 15 to 20 rags cut from fabric scraps you have lying around, such as old sheets or T-shirts, along with filtered water and white distilled vinegar.

What you may have to buy are essential oils, as they are going to make your DIY cleaning wipes smell wonderful. You will only need to get bergamot, lemon, and lavender essential oils, and since you only need a couple of drops of all of them for one batch, they will last you for a long time.

In the mason jar, mix 3/4 cup of filtered water with 3/4 cup of distilled vinegar, along with 15 drops of lemon essential oil, 4 drops of the bergamot one, and 8 drops of the lavender one. In the mixture, press your 15 to 20 rags, and after you secure the lid, shake the jar to get everything evenly coated in the mixture!
