Reusable Homemade Antibacterial Wipes

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife September 17, 2014August 7, 2019
written by Katrina - The Organised Housewife September 17, 2014August 7, 2019

I noticed we use a lot of paper towel and wipes in our household and in my mission to be frugal and reduce our grocery bill I am trying to find cheaper alternatives, like using my own homemade all purpose cleaner.  Over the past few months I have been using reusable homemade antibacterial wipes, although I do still use the disposable variety for cleaning the toilets.  These have been fantastic to have on hand for wiping up spills in the kitchen to grabbing a cloth and doing a quick clean of light switches or wiping up dust while on the phone, I can’t sit still when chatting on the phone.

Reusable Antibacterial Wipes can be used for:

The uses are endless really for these wipes.  I call them my miracle wipes as they clean just about everything.  I used a wipe recently to clean one of my kids formal school hats, got all the dirt out and I didn’t have to take it to the dry cleaners!!

  • floor spills
  • bench tops
  • dusting
  • stove top
  • sink
  • microwave
  • skirting boards
  • fridge
  • clean taps
  • light switches
  • cleaning toddlers face and hands after eating
  • wall
  • and so much more

Reusable Homemade Antibacterial Wipes

When I first started making these I used a large airtight glass jar from The Reject Shop and Sabco All Purpose Microfibre Cloths, found at Woolworths (or you could be even more frugal and use old t-shirts), plus my own antibacterial solution. This only held 6-8 wipes.  I roll up the cloths, place in jar and pour the liquid mix over the cloths.  When I need to use them I pick out a cloth, wring out as much liquid as I can, use it, rinse and then put in the laundry to go through my usual kitchen linen wash.

I was using them far too quickly, so I now double the solution and use a decor container and filled it with a pack of microfibre clothes I found at Bunnings.  Pack of 20 for $10.98. Which gives me spares so when I have some dirty in the washing basket, I have a pile of clean ones ready to refil the container.

Again, this is another really easy homemade cleaning recipe.  You will need to mix the following into a jug:

WATER – I used cooled water from the kettle

VINEGAR – mild disinfectant, cuts through grease, de-scaler, glass cleaner

DETERGENT – will help lift dirt and grime. Preferably PH neutral, colour free,  fragrance free and septic tank safe. You can find at your local supermarket, Earth Choice, Fragrance-Free Morning Fresh (ph neutral) and ecostore.

LAVENDER OIL – is well known for it’s natural antibacterial properties

ANOTHER ESSENTIAL OIL – for those that are not fond of the lavendar scent (me!!) add an addtional few drops of your favourite essential oil.  I have started using doTERRA Oils and absolutely love the Grapefruit Pure Essential Oil. Read more here about why I use doTERRA or this page to learn how to buy.

SPRAY BOTTLE – these can be found at chemists, hairdresser supply shops, kmart or most grocery stores.

HOT WATER – I boil the kettle just prior to making this solution and allow it to sit to cool slightly.

DETERGENT – preferably PH neutral, fragrance free and septic tank safe.  Will help lift dirt and grime. You can find at your local supermarket, Earth Choice, Fragrance-Free Morning Fresh (ph neutral) and ecostore.

VINEGAR – mild disinfectant, cuts through grease, de-scaler, glass cleaner

Store your wipes out of the sunlight, I keep mine under the sink.

Great idea!
I love the fact they are on hand. Being able to launder them make me feel they are good as new when I pull one out.
Fans and skirting boards are my focus this week.

A little label for the jar:
Pick me.
Use me.
Launder me.

Tip: do not throw any disposable wipes in the toilet. Instead throw them in the garbage bin. Safes heaps of energy and $$ to our waste-water treatment process!!

They do not really disintegrate, even though it usually says on the pack that they are biodegradable and you can throw them in the toilet. DON’T…

I would take probably months if not longer for them to degrade and before that they will already have to be taken out of the waste-water treatment process (or have clogged up something/somewhere)!

Major burden on the treatment plants and our tax-payer bills!!! 🙂

Dani September 17, 2014 - 9:08 PM

Such a good idea. I use a 50:50 mix of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle to clean just about everything, using paper wipes mostly. Even though they’re recycled paper and mainly go into our compost, I’ve been wanting to cut down on waste and costs. I’ll have to give this a go, thanks 🙂

I also love Thieves Oil, but the Young Living one is terribly expensive. Plant Essentials in Queensland make an Australian version called Four Thieves Oil, it’s great and much cheaper. Or you can blend your own – it contains essential oils of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary. Just use a tiny amount of the clove oil, it is very strong. I make my own cleaning spray using this blend, lavender, vinegar and water.

Hi Katrina,

Just wanted to know, do you go through quite a few of your homemade wipes if you’re only using them once and then having to put them out to be washed?
I know in my house with 3 small children there seems to be food and drink being constantly spilled. I think I would go through too many wipes and have to make up hundreds of them just to get me through the week.

Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Racheal

Denisa July 22, 2015 - 2:24 PM

I wonder the same thing… or would you wash them with towels? and how often?

Katrina - The Organised Housewife July 24, 2015 - 8:53 AM

Hi Racheal, I do go through a fair few clothes but i judt throw them in the wash with towels once a week.

Reply
Racheal July 25, 2015 - 11:19 AM

Do you use your cloths more than once and just rinse them out after using them, putting them in the wash after a few uses? Sorry to keep going on about it but I’m really keen to try this and want to make sure it is worth my while before I do.

Kind regards,
Racheal

Katrina - The Organised Housewife July 27, 2015 - 9:55 AM

Depends what i am cleaning, but yes if i can get a few cleans with them first before washing then i do.

Do you go through loads of cloths though?

Georga July 15, 2015 - 4:55 PM

I made these recently just to try, never thinking for one second I would use them much, but I was sooo wrong! I love them! I do this with my regular vileda dishcloths too now and have a jar always packed with cloths. They are fabulous. I just use them for so many things, but especially around the kitchen they are fantastic. They no longer get that smelly smell that dishcloths can sometimes get even when you use a fresh one everyday. Thanks Kat they are a great idea

Eva July 15, 2015 - 7:40 PM

I love your site;from the inspirational saying to your De-clutter tip of the day! I save many of them for future reference. I really love the homemade antibacterial wipes! My daughter is supposed to take some store bought one’s to school with her, I can’t stand those. I think I’ll make my own and she will just have to bring them home to be laundered. No biggy. I love knowing that ingredients are safe!!!

Hi Kat,
Your site has become my go-to gospel for all my home makeover plans; thank you for all your wonderful ideas!!!
I had a question about your reusable wipes; you mentioned the solution lasts around a fortnight- do you add more wipes to the jar when and if you’ve used all the wipes? I want to start using them, and thought of separating bathroom wipes from kitchen and general dusting wipes and placed in their corresponding locations, as I love citrus in the kitchen, rose in the bathrooms, and lavender throughout the house. I thought an added bonus to this approach would be having the wipes on hand all the time, anytime. Can’t wait to start!

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife August 25, 2015 - 11:14 AM

No I usually make up more solution each time, as the cloths soak up the solution. I love the sound of the different scents around the house, great idea!

Reply
kay October 30, 2016 - 3:52 PM

I love it – no strong anti-bacterial stuff…. thanks Kat
here’s an old fashioned way to keep the kitchen clean and healthy – with a spray bottle of plain cold water in one hand a dry cotton rag in the other away we go; if that doesn’t quite do it i give a wee squirt of vinegar and wipe again; iffff there’s a stubborn stain out comes a wee bit of toothpaste… with this method in place, which compliments the maxim of wipe up the mess before it has dried, I just can’t recall when last I used a paper towel or a commercial cleaner or anything stronger than the clean dish cloth wrung out in the clean hot detergent water before I wash any dishes – occasionally).
the oils I reserve for non-food areas and where I’d like a pleasant aroma. mostly it’s with a miscible oil (the naturally unkind to bacteria, fungus etc type such as lavender, ti tree, eucalyptus, orange and so on -all available in that form) so I can dilute in a small spray bottle.
one only needs a few drops of clove oil (love the smell) to shock the mould but I’ve found neat vinegar really explodes them (they eat so much of it….yes, that’s true 🙂 )
so sorry – can’t help being verbose 🙁

Reply
Kelly March 15, 2017 - 5:32 PM

These wipes are fantastic, they have totally changed the speed at which I clean! I use them for everything and just chuck them in the wash. They are just the right moistness to clean perfectly, being micro fibre they pick up all the bits and the ingredients kill the germs. I like you have had to make up a second batch! I’m in the UK and use washing up liquid as the detergent.
Thank you so much for making cleaning simpler, I never use any cleaning sprays etc. now.
