Homemade Baby Wipes Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by cutting a roll of cloth-like paper towels in half and placing one half into a container designed to hold wipes. Boiled water is combined with baby soap and baby oil, then poured evenly over the paper towels to moisten them thoroughly. After soaking, the cardboard core is removed to facilitate pulling wipes from the center.
The wipes remain moist and fresh for up to a week when the container is kept covered securely. If the wipes begin to dry out before they are all used, additional boiled water can be added to refresh the roll. These wipes are intended for external use only and should not be flushed.
Ingredients
- 1 roll of paper towels cloth-like (I used Bounty brand)
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons liquid baby bath soap
- 1 tablespoon baby oil
- 7 to 8 cup square or round container
Instructions
- Cut paper towel roll in half with a serrated knife, a bread knife works great. Place one of the halves in the round or square container. Save the other half for when you are ready to make another batch.
- Boil 2 cups of water for 2 minutes.
- Add liquid bath soap and baby oil to the boiled water.
- Pour mixture evenly over paper towels.
- Pull out the cardboard core of the paper towel roll. It comes out easily once it is wet.
- Place lid on container.
- Keep the lid securely on the container until ready to use, start by pulling the wipes from the center of the roll, and then replace lid after each use.
- The wipes should stay wet and fresh for up to a week. If you haven't used all of the wipes and they start to dry out, simply add some boiled water to refresh the roll. DO NOT FLUSH!
