Okay so who doesn't love cleaning wipes??? They are easy, convenient, and they smell good. Now, if you look at the price they really aren't too too pricey, but hey who couldn't save a penny or two? So I started to look up recipes to make my own cleaning wipes and found quite a few. None of them used natural ingredients, that I could find. So I just substituted Pine Sol for Castile Soap and away I went... Here was our adventure...

For best results, select an extra-large roll of good quality paper towels for this project. Less-expensive towels fray or shred when pulled through the holder; thicker quilted towels have greater cleaning strength and withstand more scrubbing. Even at $1.39 per roll, cost for homemade wipes will be less than 75 cents, not including the storage container.

Without removing the paper towel wrapper, use the electric knife to cut the paper towel roll into two shorter rolls. Save the second roll for a refill later. Be patient! It may take up to two minutes to cut through the towel roll and cardboard tube inside.

| I did not have an electric knife, so I had to do this manually |
 |
| It was harder than you would think to cut this baby in half |
 |
| Just the right fit |
 |
| 2 3/4 cup water and 1/2 cup Castille Soap |
 |
| After the water and Castille were blended |
Remove the wrapper, and place one short paper towel roll inside plastic food storage container. Using a liquid measuring cup, gently pour one of the following cleaning solution recipes over the top of the paper towel roll.

| Pour the solution over the paper towels |
 |
| All soaked and ready to sit |
 |
| Now this will sit for 4 hours to overnight..depending on how anxious I get... |
|
You will need between 2 and 4 cups of cleaning solution, depending on the size and absorbency of the paper towel product selected. These recipes make about three cups of solution; increase or decrease amounts if needed.
