I loved making them, one big BUT they got moldy on me. I put some in the car and when I went to use them they had big mold spots on them. I don't think I will do this again.

Super easy to make and saves so much money for very little effort. I love being able to control the ingredients and make them a little more eco-friendly. I used All-Purpose Cleaner/Disinfectant All-Purpose Cleaner/Disinfectant. Using an electric knife to cut the roll really cut down on the fuzz/mess. Thanks, Loves2Teach!

Colorboyswife, you ROCK! These are awesome and money-saving. I've made the multi-purpose wipes with lysol all purpose (disinfecting) cleaner and the car cleaner wipes with armour all. Used the Kirkland (Costco) paper towels with good results. Stored the wipes in gallon size ziploc bags. I believe these wipes may have some kind of special properties, they even motivated me to clean my car! I'll definitely try the baby wipes also, I love that they have no alcohol. Thanks so much for a fabulous idea! UPDATE: I am thoroughly out of control with these wipes! I've made Windex wipes, Murphy's Oil Soap wipes, Clorox Clean Up wipes, and the baby wipes. All are amazing! As handy as the store bought versions at a fraction of the cost! Thanks CBW!

I have used this same recipe for baby wipes for years since I had my daughter in '96. I would suggest to anyone who tries these to invest in an electric knife because the paper towel roll is incredibly hard to cut. You can get one cheaply at a discount store; that's what I did and I have had it for years.
