In my quest for healthier living, I’ve been trying to get rid of products that have harmful ingredients in them. A lot of cleaning products do and I have slowly been trying to eliminate those from our house. (You can google harmful chemicals in cleaning products if you’d like –

– paper towels (you want good quality paper towels so they don’t rip easily)
– 2 cups distilled water
– 1 capful (about 1 tablespoon)
– essential oils – optional (I added 2 drops of Purification and 2 drops of Lemon)
– container (I used an old cleaning wipes container – 15oz size, you can also buy containers made to hold wipes)
– label (see below)
Directions: Cut roll of paper towels in half using serrated knife; it will leave some little lint-like pieces, brush that off. Place a half roll of paper towels in your container (leaving the cardboard tube in). If the roll is wider than your container, you’ll need to roll off some layers. I just re-roll and save it to use for making the next batch.
In a large measuring glass, stir together water, Thieves Household Cleaner and essential oils. Pour over paper towels in container in a circular motion, making sure to saturate the entire roll. Depending on how large your container is, you might be able to use half the batch per container. I am able to make two (15oz) containers with this batch of cleaning solution. If you’re using a larger container, you’ll want to use the entire batch of cleaning solution. Close the lid and give a couple gentle shakes to fully saturate the roll. Let sit for about 15 minutes, then open and remove the cardboard tube. It should easily pull out since it’s wet. Pull your wipes from the center of the roll.
