Homemade Disinfecting Wipes

- It's easy to make your own disinfectant wipes at home. These are great when the stores are selling out because of the Coronavirus. It's also a convenient way to refill wipe containers so you can get more uses out of them. For these wipes, we used Bounty paper towels for the base since they are quite durable. They feel just about as strong as pre-packaged wipes. We used Lysol for the cleaning agent. Any brand will work but we wanted to make sure we had good disinfectant power. www.thriftyfun...
I always use Lysol but hasn’t been in the stores all sold out. Lucky for me I buy a large container. I do buy for someone that is down on their luck, I buy all there cleaning laundry products , and kitchen dish soap to help stretch there own dollar. I try to buy their pet food also. Just someways to help those in need.
I love the shoe box idea so I don't need to cut th e roll in half. I have some paper towels with short sheets. Thanks for a short to the point video
I made mines using 2 cups of rubbing alcohol and lavender and tea tree essential oil with 1/4 cup of unscented laundry detergent.
A Google User ok buddy don’t get all angry now, chill your beans we’re all going through things rn
Came here to learn how, left with the greatest song ever.
Jacob Irvin - I was actually dancing the Cha Cha Cha to it. 😊
Does anybody know who the artist is?
I always read through some of the comments to see if it's worth my time. Read your comment and went straight to the video. Completely agree!
Ariel Alvarez, Scott Hill is being silly. The bands he mentioned are death metal and punk! Thriftyfun answered someone else in another comment and the song is called Cha Capella by Jimmy Fontanez and Media Right productions

Hi! You can also use wet mop refills and add your own disinfectants to the already wet ones or use the dry ones and add your own mix in a reused container from old wipes. That kind of material holds up far better than paper towels. Also, you can get 15 in a pack at the dollar tree. There is other cloth like wipes of a similar material there and these can be cut to size and used the same way.
I was thinking the same thing, or baby wipes with disinfectant 😊🙃
Too bad paper towels and disinfectant are almost impossible to get now.
Welp!! You should've been like some of us ...HOARDERS!!! YOU PEOPLE WOULD SHAKE YA HEADS AT PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHEN WE WERE STOCKING UP CART FULLS OF TISSUE..TOWELS..BLEACH AND CLEANER! My family and I have enough disinfectant wipes,lysol spray bleach tissue towels Kleenex, sanitizer,alchohol, masks,gloves, etc. To last us 2years++
@@michelleobama3711 , it's because of people like you that there's a shortage of everything! If folks had not been selfish, greedy pigs, there would have been enough for everyone.
zendyk local Walmart at 7am Monday
@@hernandezolivarez7936 , what happens then?
Oh well
I’ve been using this for two weeks, and it works better with Scott’s shop towels from autozone.
Thanks. I have to cut my paper towel to fit the container that I have, and may add a couple drops of essential oil. I can use the short piece as toilet paper, if needed.
The music had me doing the Cha Cha Cha. 😃
The background music is quite catchy. Sounds like🎷🥁🎶🎶🎶cha cha cha. 😃😃😆😆. Love it👌👍
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE:You must dilute , I know because I use Lysol all’ the time ...we just lucked out buying some to wash floors before this virus ..
I personally , use 2 tablespoons of Lysol Liquid per qt spray bottle (Spray bottles can be purchased at $ 2.95 at Dollar General - the ones with the black spray work really well ). Or 4 TBSP Lysol Liquid yo a gallon (we use empty milk jug ) and fill with water ... I spray everything down then leave it sit for 6-8 minutes then wipe .. I would RATHER USE IT IN A SPRAY IT LAST LONGER - Thank you -God Bless us all 🙏🌎

Loved the song !! Hahaha. It made me smile and now everytime I prepare my cleaning wipes I play the song !!. Greetings from Mexico City!!
You can also use water and bleach, Clorox . Or alcohol, vinegar and water
Stick with mother nature. Vinegar will be better in the long run. Superbugs/virus are becoming the way they are because of the chemicals we use. It is harder for a germ / virus to become immune to something that is naturally from mother nature. Like vinegar. Google it. Which has a half life of 3000 years. It really is bad stuff. Don't use bleach.
Actually, when tested, vinegar worked for cleaning & deodorizing but did not deactivate Covid19 via disinfection. Research it, I was surprised as I also thought vinegar would work.
Also, there is a difference between bacteria & viruses. Bacteria mutates because of incorrect & over use of antibiotics. Antibiotics do not work on viruses, so irrelevant.
Love the catching tune of the cha cha cha🎷🥁🎹🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶sweet melody for my ears😁👌👍
You didn’t dilute that stuff? The bottle says you can make FOURTEEN gallons of disinfectant with that stuff! You’re wipes are WAY TOO STRONG.
Tim Young I think everyone had their own preference I would of done it the same way I like my house to smell super good
COVID-19 is strong as well
Great ideal. We don’t know how long the diluted version will last. Full strength is best in this case.
You don’t have to dilute it. I have a big Costco bottle of it. You can dilute it or not. I prefer to dilute it since I wipe down my kitchen with it.
My bottle says if u dilute it more than 1oz cleaner to 5oz water, it doesn't disinfect, so I use full strength too. Says on bottle dilute it or not
I found a bottle of the Lysol multi-surface cleaner today! Thanks so much for the video!!
I did this but I use wipes instead thanks for this
I had some disinfectant wipes that dried out to use instead of using new paper towels. I used a different brand of disinfecting cleaner called Homeline with lavender scent to pour on the dried wipes. Should this be good and effective as this?
The only thing I would be concerned with is mixing cleaners that can cause a toxic gas. For example, it is best to not mix bleach with other cleaners unless you know for sure it is safe.
ThriftyFun thank you for responding. I actually didn’t use bleach to mix in with the cleaner of the wipes. The cleaner that I used is a multi-purpose cleaner just like the Lysol one that you used in the video. I believe the disinfectant wipes that dried out haven’t been used for over 2 years so any cleaning product wouldn’t create any dangerous gas. I felt like I didn’t need to mix any other cleaning products, such as bleach as I felt the multi-purpose cleaner was enough for the wipes. So far the wipes have been working great and haven’t even dried out 3 days ago since making this comment. Once again appreciate you responding back! :)
Beware of mixing your chemicals. Go to a natural solution like using essential oils or vinegar. Google it.
How much oz of this cleaner you mix with how much water? It’s impossible to put concentrated 32 oz cleaner directly with the towels!
If only we could get a bottle of lysol...😔 Otherwise good idea.
Costco carries this lysol disinfectant and they have big bottles. I just got about two weeks ago.
@@aminsabanero3992 LOL! I just returned home from Costco...they had none:( but I will keep checking now:) Thank you!
It is hard to believe, Lysol is really hard to find nowadays due to the COVID19 crisis
They have at Dollar tree small bottles of concentrated liquid lysol that make about 4 to 5 gallons each. The limit to buy is 4. I went this morning as soon as they opened and they had a lot.
This would work with any disinfect.. try the off brands or even water and bleach solution and essential oils.
Guys, who all have managed to get a bottle of disinfectant during this time, I must say you all are very lucky! I have been trying since feb and till today no antibacterial, no antiseptic, no sanitizer, nothing to be found in any store 😞
Thanks to bloody hoarders!
I used Scott towels, they aren't strong enough, they wouldn't come apart in sheets, just big wades of paper that feel apart.
You're gonna need Bounty or Brawny. Scott towels are kinda thin.
I am salsa dancing now and making my own sanitizing wipes!!! Good times! Thank you for the video:)
Stay safe everyone and let’s kick COVID19’s butt! We are all in this together!❤️🙏
Thanks for the video. Who does those salsa sound effect? I like it. I kept repeating the video just for the tune. 👍🏻

Soooo will bleach work as disinfectant??
Yes it is. This is from the CDC "Unexpired household bleach will be effective against coronaviruses when properly diluted. Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or
4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water" www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/cleaning-disinfection.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fcommunity%2Fhome%2Fcleaning-disinfection.html
See the Clorox website for using their products as disinfectants for corona virus. They give instructions for mixing your solution based on exactly which Clorox product you are using, as they vary in potency. Search for the product you have by using the number below the bar code on the label of your bottle. Time it needs to be left on a surface to be effective is given, depending on exactly what you’re using. Also, they say you must mix fresh for every use, not pour in a box of paper towels and save. Homemade wipes apparently become less effective over time, and won’t do the job even if stored in a tightly sealed container. I didn’t know that. Now I mix my solution for the day in a spray bottle, clean surfaces with soap and water first, wipe dry with a clean bleached towel, spray with Clorox solution, and let it sit for the required number of minutes before finally wiping dry again with paper towels. What a pain.
@@suzanneemerson9787 please Google natural solutions for disinfectants. Using bleach is not the answer.
Use rubbing alcohol. Bleach loses its strength
See this thought came to mind today and I was wondering if anyone had done it. I have an extra bottle of disinfectant spray so I’m definitely doing this!
I would imagine that you'd have to use Viva or Brawny towels to prevent them shredding easily when you use them, after soaking in solution.
Just started using Viva again. I stopped years ago because of cost. They are so worth it.
you have concentrate... its 1 ounce lysol to 15 ounces water so 2 ounces of lysol to 30 ounces to what you are trying to make. READ THE BOTTLE! you just dumped straight lysol which is a huge waste.
Welp! Can’t find either of them now lol!!!
Can I use the same Lysol Clean & Fresh Multi-Surface Cleaner - Clean & Fresh Lemon pure it over in a container of Huggies baby wet wipes shake and make sure the cleaning solution has saturated the wipes and used those as my disinfectant wipes?? I’m trying to use what I have since nothing is avail at stores unless I order on line
Yes you can, i seen other videos like that. I'm about to do the same thing with that same lysol multisurface cleaner, i had found some at dollar tree... But this 1 lady I watched, she used 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of lysol for her pack of baby wipes. The directions say that 1/4th cup is supposed to be used for 1 gallon of water, so it's best to dilute it.
It should be diluted according to the bottle specifications?
disinfecting wipes are concentrated cleaner
I just keep making my own bleach salutation cleaners n refilling the bleach bottles from the dollar stores like for 'EffveRrrrr' & I've never had an issue with E. coil etc👍🏾 I like the wipes n all n they're convenient, but I ain't just not gonna worry about it right now.👌
Thank you straight to the point!!! ❤
The ratio to disinfectant to water is 1:512 to 1:256.
Me gusto y también la canción de fondo
Awesome thanks 👍 one question if you don't mind? What is the name of the song you are playing on this video? I love it 👍
Did your bottle came sealed or no? I bought some barley & it was not sealed unless that’s how It comes
excellent easy
Good idea
Be-bopping to the instructions. LOL
Thank you.
TheTimTracker uses this same music in their videos.
I was able to get pine sol which works the same as lysol
Brilliant! Well done indeed - thank you for educating
I used baby wipes hahah..I am so desperate..they sold out toilet paper n paper towels
Love the music 😍
the stores are all out but I grabbed some lysol bathroom foam cleaner. Could i do this with what i bought? Would be great but because it says bathroom, i don't know if I could make wipes to use on doorknobs, counter ect... Thanks I bought it cause it said kills 99.9% ,
lorraine if you go onto Lysol’s website they list all products the EPA says kill corona virus
To bad that we need Lysol and there’s no Lysol in any stores.
there is just go when they open. go to Walmart and target really fast
there is just go when they open. go to Walmart and target really fast
I have one of theses bottles that says it makes 14 gallons. Can I mix a cap or two with water and add to a spray bottle?
Using the concentrate is overkill in my opinion. I wouldn't take a chance doing it with full strength. Unless you are using that many you can dilute the the concentrate and put smaller quantities of paper towels in plastic baggies so they dont dry out over time.
You forgot to do the other side!
Great idea
I'm here for the music.....
This looks easy
Genius!
You would get more bang for the buck if you dilute it or use it in a spray bottle diluted. Good idea after the whole virus situation comes down though.
Thank you... Awesome idea!!!
Very good
Do we need to wash/rinse the surface with water after using this wipe?
preety ghosh You should let surfaces air dry, to allow the disinfectant to do its job.
czcams.com/video/PBsIHjc3ABc/video.html
preety ghosh You could re-contaminate by doing that. You need to allow it to air dry for as long as it says to in the disinfecting instructions on your bottle. Then just wipe any wet spots after that with a dry paper towel or dry towel that has been laundered with bleach.
We’re on the same wave length here
I learned something new WOW 😄😄😄
Can I use baby wipes can’t find paper towels
Jessica Gray yes but please only buy like one pack! Other parents need them to wipe their babies butts too! I wish use facial wipes their cheap and no babies butts are being suffered 💁🏽♀️😂👏🏽
Lysol doesn’t exist anymore 🙄😞 !!
to use on fingers and hands..isn't it a bit soapy?
Lysol is not meant to be used on hands, it is to disinfect hard surfaces.
You can used napkins
Replay.....for the tunes 🎶🎧
Omg me too 😃
Add fine water
Instead of wasting paper towels, just cut up an old towel into strips
c0pyimitati0n foreal
This is a super good point.
You should make a video for that, meanwhile I’m using paper towels,
@@Lilyfranko32 why do you need a video to show how to cut up an old towel into strips? Lol 🤷♂️
Exactly
came to see disinfecting wipes video ,,,,not watching much but enjoying the music..🤭😂😂😂
I don't have much Lysol, its a all purpose cleaner which we use for floors too diluted. Incase i Mix it with water instead of using 1Lr. which is 32 ounces, will that be ok ? any suggestions ?
I don't think that would be effective
Daniela A it has instructions for floor to dilute hence was wondering thank you
According to the introductions & specifications ... diluted Lysol purpose cleaner is enough to disinfect surface by soaking área & let it dry at least 10 m before cleaning .
It’s like Clorox u need to diluted if not it’s a over kill
Ligol use for floor,,,not for hand.
♥️
I came here for the cheery music, that's all..
It would dry out easily if not use for some time
I have had this in the box shown for over a month and they are still moist. So far I am pleased with the outcome.
👍👍👍👍👍 thanks 😘
Ummm.....if I could find the Lysol wouldn’t have to make my own.
I was specting homemade wipes not with Lysol is not Lysol at the stores. 😂😂😂
To fucking bad you can't find any of that stuff in a store ...it sucks for the ppl who really need the stuff like me ,but all the not knowers and wast cases go get it all ,then leaves ppl like me fucking screwed
Next time put the entire bottle on so that is really saturated. Good job..
Oh we did, but we didn't get it on camera :)
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍👍👍
Too much lysol
Waste of my precious quarantine time :(
Thumbs down for the music alone!
Music is so irritating
I would rather use lavender soap , coconut oil, and tea tree oil. Healthier.
Yes. I agree. It would be better in the long run to use those items other than something chemically man-made.
500th like :)

This suppose to be a joke or something? This shit doesnt exist anymore in stores anymore
