Although the ingredients can vary depending on where you look online or what you have on hand, these are the general items you’ll need.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1-2 Tbsp dish soap
- 1/4 cup isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 10-15 drops of your favourite essential oils (optional, but a nice addition if you want a gentle scent; think: peppermint, lemon, lavender, tea tree, etc.)
- 15-20 pieces of thin cloths or shredded old t-shirts (approx. 8-10 inches)
- 1 large container or glass jar with sealable lid
Directions:
1. Add water, soap, rubbing alcohol and white vinegar to glass jar and stir.
2. Add essential oils and stir.
3. Add cut-up cloth pieces to jar, firmly seal lid and shake, so the cloth soaks up the disinfectant mixture.
4. Keep sealed and use cloths as needed.
Note: if you don’t have rubbing alcohol (or would prefer not to include it), you can simply use water, dish soap, white vinegar and essential oils.
