DIY Disinfecting Wipes
July 10, 2012 by 10 Comments
Today, I want to share with you a simple and inexpensive way to make your own homemade NATURAL disinfecting wipes that kill 99.9% of germs on the spot and keeps germs away for up to 3 days {unlike comparable chemical based brands that kill germs within about 10 minutes and only last up to 1 day}.
This is what you will need:
I used an empty Basic G wipe container I had, a half way used paper towel roll {make sure you cut off the end of your paper towel roll to make sure they will fit inside your container}, and Basic G concentrate.
Now let me show you the steps on how to put these 3 items together to create your own homemade disinfectant wipes….
Step 1:
Fill empty container with water {about ¼-1/2 of the way full}
Step 2:
Add ¼ tsp of Basic G to water
Step 3:
Remove cardboard insert in paper towels and cut the end of the paper towel roll if needed to make sure it will fit inside your container.
Step 4:
Insert paper towels into container and shake for a few minutes to make sure all paper towels get saturated with Basic G mixture. Add a little more water if needed.
There you have it!! Your own homemade natural disinfectant wipes!
One bottle of BasicG costs $17.30 {member price} and will make 64 gallons of product when mixed with water! So these wipes would cost only PENNIES to make LITERALLY!!! Plus, Basic G is SAFE, biodegradable, and kills 99.9% of household germs without making us sick from the chemicals other cleaners use!
Love my new wipes and I decided to begin making them myself because I use them A LOT! I clean up my bathroom counter every morning with these wipes and they go quickly. Now I can make my own and use them in the car, bathroom, kitchen, cleaning up quick messes, and using them when I am out and about…especially on cart handles at the grocery store!

This is sorta what I do. Instead of paper towels and Basic G, I use cut up rags and vinegar. I wonder if my way kills the germs as well.
I think vinegar does kill germs, it just doesn’t have as nice of a smell at the Basic G. :)

Jennifer- that looks great! How do you cut the paper towels? I have all the supplies that you showed here, too – so I’m going to try this :)

Hey Becky!
I used a kitchen knife..lol. I was careful and just cut slowly. I am sure you could use another method as well, but it cut rather easy since it is just a paper-based product. That is great you also use Basic G! It is the safest, most effective product out there…I am blessed that I came across it!
Have a great week!

Where do you find Basic G? I’ve never heard of it.

Basic G is a Shaklee product, you can buy it here: http://member.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=00525. It’s well worth the price since it will last you just about forever! :)

Hi Anna:
I found you via Pinterest. What’s in Basic G? I don’t live in the US and was wondering if I can find a similar sort of product here (instead of shipping half way around the world).
Cheers,
Cate
Hey Cate!
Basic G is a germicide, disinfectant, and deodorizer in one and registered with the US environmental protection agency for being the best form of germicide on the market. It kills more germs than bleach and Lysol!
What country do you live in? I have ordered product and shipped it to other countries outside of our normal shipping territories in the past and would be happy to help you with this.
You are welcome to email me at blissfullyeverafter3@gmail.com to learn more. You can also read more about Basic G on my website: http://blissfullyeverafter.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=00525
Thanks so much and have a great weekend!

Nice Article!! I would love to make this at home. I’ll definitely try it if I get all the ingredients available in the market. It is very useful and homemade products are really good.
Thanks for sharing your method! I just received my Basic G in the mail after using Basic H for several months and I was wondering if it would be possible to create my own disinfecting wipes and found your blog right away! I just bought the Get Clean Starter kit and have a container of wipes to use up, but will try this when they run out.
