homemade antibacterial wipes

Supplies:
1 roll Paper towels with smaller sections
1/2 cups Mr. Clean Antibacterial cleaner
2 1/2 cups Water
1 container with lid (old baby wipes or Rubbermaid container works well)

Note:
Use good quality paper towels like Bounty or they will fall apart...I know from experience when I tried to use Viva brand.

Directions:
~ Pull half (about 77) of the paper towel sections off individually (one roll of paper towels will make two containers of wipes).
~ Fold each paper towel section into a tri-fold like an accordian or whatever fold works best for the container you are using.
~ Place the towels in the container.
~ Bring water to boil on stovetop.
~ Add Mr. Clean to water.
~ Pour the water over the towels and let set for a little while.
~ Then flip the container over so the water can absorb evenly.
~ Add more water if neccessary, but do not add more Mr. Clean.

Note: If you think pulling each towel sheet individually is too tidious, you can cut the paper towel roll in half with a very sharp knife. Pour the water mixture over the towels and then pull the soggy card board roll out of the middle. When I tried cutting the roll, I made a huge mess. It's easier for me to pull and fold the towels individually when I am talking on the phone or watching TV.
