Eco-friendly disinfecting wipes
Rachel Breit passed along this recipe for homemade, environmentally friendly disinfecting wipes for multi-surface cleaning:
Take an old baby wipes container. Put cut-up T-shirts (if you want reusable wipes) or paper towels (if you want disposable wipes) in the container. Mix 1 cup water, 1 cup white vinegar, and 4 to 6 drops lavender and tea tree oil (you can buy essential oils online or find them in health food stores). If you’d like to, add a squirt of natural dish soap (it’s optional). Pour it over your reusable cloths or paper towels.
