Do you want to learn how to make homemade cleaning wipes in 3 easy steps? The two ingredients you will need are easy to get at the store or on Amazon. With empty store shelves and not a single cleaning wipe insight, I had to get a little creative. Especially, when the Lysol is missing in action too!

How to Make Homemade Cleaning Wipes

You will need:

Directions:

1) Open the baby wipes according to the package instructions.

2) Put the baby wipe package in the sink and pour in water and bleach.

3) Close the baby wipe package, shake or squish the package to mix.

Warning: Do not use on fabric surfaces the bleach will discolor it. Wash hands after use before touching fabric or clothing, to avoid bleach discoloration.
