How To Make Homemade Hand Sanitizing Wipes

I first learned about making homemade hand sanitizing wipes while watching The Doctors when I was pregnant. I decided to try it out and I'm so glad I did. I use them ALL the time!! I keep them in my car and they really come in handy. I use them to wipe down the grocery cart before I put Natalie's cart cover on and I also use them to wipe off my hands in the car. I have even used them to clean up a mess in the car. I wouldn't use them as baby wipes though, they do contain alcohol which can easily be absorbed through your little ones skin.   

What you'll need:

• Thick Paper Towels
• Alcohol
• Baby Lotion
• Container

Any alcohol and baby lotion will do. I would recommend using thick paper towels because the cheap kind might break down to easily. Also, the square container I am using was purchased at Wal-Mart for about $2.

First you need to fold your paper towels to fit into your container. I folded my paper towels in half twice. This step is pretty straight forward and super easy. You can even have your children help!

Next you need to fill your container with half lotion and half alcohol. Make sure you mix them together well. I only fill my container about half way up. I ended up using about half the bottle of alcohol. It's not an exact science. I make them different every time.

Now just add your paper towels. They should soak up all of the lotion/alcohol solution. If the paper towels aren't completely soaked you can add more of the solution and if they seem to wet don't worry. They WILL dry out some, especially if you keep them in your car.
