On the Go Cleaning Wipes

So yesterday, Jason and I went out to lunch with some friends for BBQ. Boy, I sure miss Southern BBQ! One great thing about BBQ restaurants is the little moist towelettes they give you at the end of the meal to wipe the barbecue sauce off your fingers and face. We happened to have an extra one on our table so I slipped it in my purse thinking it could come in handy later on. Well sure enough, it did. We happened to be somewhere that needed a little wiping down. . . Jason said to me I should carry these things more often. Since going to BBQ restaurants isn't very common up here, I decided to try and make my own. What you need: Select a size Paper towels. Regular paper towels would work if that is what you have. 1/2 c. Water 1/2 c. Vinegar (if you are using them to clean surfaces and not faces or fingers) 10 drops Lemon Essential Oil 10 drops Lavender Essential Oil 10 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil (You could use whichever oils you prefer or a combination I used all three of these)

1. I tore off 20 sheets of the Paper towels and folded each in half 2. In a small container I mixed the water, vinegar and oils 3. I soaked the paper towels in the water mixture

4. I wrung out the paper towels individually 5. I put 10 paper towels in 2 small freezer bags.

Now, both Jason and I have cleaning wipes in the glove compartments of our car to clean up spills, tables at restaurants, toilets at rest stops or just whatever. If you are planning to use them for your face and hands I would suggest leaving out the vinegar and just use 1 c. water. The essential oils will have enough antibacterial qualities to leave you feeling clean. Enjoy!
