5. A wipes tub (preferably used/recycled) that will hold 70-80 wipes.
6. 1 cup boiled water - cooled.
Method:
1. Combine into a small bowl the baby wash, castille soap and boiled water (and vitamin E oil if preferred). Set aside to cool
2. Meanwhile get your wipes tub ready. Tear each sheet of paper towel from roll and fold in half. You may need to trim the edge of the towels down by 3 cms or so (this paper towel remnant cut in half makes your dry facial cleansing pads) and set the cut edge aside. Place folded paper towels into container.
3. Once cooled, pour wipes solution into tub - making sure that all areas of the dry towel are covered. You may want to take half of the towels out, pour on half the mixture and then pop the rest back in and pour over the remainder. Will look rather wet for 30 mins or so, but then once finished seeping through layers, they look exactly like bought ones!

* Vitamin E Oil acts as a natural preservative so add a few drops into the solution if you want these to last more than 2-3 weeks.
* Double recipe and make 2 tubs - one for out and about, one for home.
Facial Cleansing Pads - after cutting each folded remnant stip in half, you will have 140-160 pads.
Simply brew up some of your favourite herbal tea (ie: chammomile) and let cool then pop into a spray bottle. Or, make a cleansing solution to pour onto wipes and store by combining aloe vera juice, boiled water, apple cider vinegar and some essential oils. Even plain liquid castille soap with some boiled water and an essential oil works wonders!
Until next time...
