anti septic wipes for less

Queenie

Yes, use a diluted solution of pine cleaner (ratio 1:3 cleaner and water) and a roll of paper towels. Basically, cut the roll of paper towels in half, remove the inner tube; put the paper towels into a big enough container (I have an old baby wipes sturdy type) and pour the solution, slowly, over the towels. Leave to soak overnight so that all the solution gets soaked up into the towels, then use as Flash wipes.

An alternative would be to use an old spray bottle with the solution in and just squirt and wipe over with a dry paper towel fresh from the roll!

I use Tesco value baby wipes too & just add bleach & water to the carton then write BLEACH across the carton in huge letters. Seem to work fine for me.

Lillibet - you could design a label on the computer too

I bought some j-cloths, folded them in half and put them in an old sandwich box. Then I poured some Tesco Value cleaner in the box so it wet all the cloths but they weren't soaked. I keep a plastic bin next to the washing machine for all the cleaning cloths, dishcloths etc. when it's full I boil wash them



Edited cos I forgot to say, I dilute the cleaner with water, about half and half.

Hi I use bounty paper roll because it dosen't fall apart, cut into squares in a plastic container i squirt in fairy liquid and warm water then put 10 drops of rosemary and 10 drops of lavender essential oil (or what ever you have) turn box upside down to soak all paper. used ones get thrown down toilet. This was cathys idea but with dettol which i found smeared. The oils leave a lovely smell on work surfaces.

Wouldn't it be cheaper if instead of using paper tissue one used fabric squares (e.g. old sheets) to re-wash after use?

I am ashamed to admit that I don't clean the house often enough to be worried about this issue!!! So my reply is only theoretical hehehe

Yup, would be cheaper and more environmentally friendly ... questionable on the hygiene issue though. Would I wish to have cloths used to clean my loo, lurking near say, my teatowels?
