Flustered that I couldn’t buy sanitizing wipes back in March because people were hoarding them, I cut the wipes in half to make them last longer. That’s when I decided to make REUSABLE wipes. Let’s keep them out of the landfills – and we won’t run out when the next wave hits!
Making my reusable sanitizing wipes was easy. I gathered glass jars and 3 simple ingredients:
1 cup Rubbing Alcohol
1 Tbsp Aloe Vera Gel
3 drops Essential Oil
Then I cut up some old pillowcases (8” x 8”). I filled the jar with about ½ cup of the sanitizing solution. For fun, I made labels, and then made 20 reusable sanitizing wipe containers. Now I have one in every room in my house, garage, and greenhouse – I even put one out on my new deck!
Oops! Just realized that I spelled “reusable” wrong!

Can’t buy hand sanitizer because selfish people are hoarding them? You’re not alone. We couldn’t find hand sanitizers at any stores or online, so we made our own! It’s super easy and inexpensive.
Homemade Hand Sanitizer
¾ cup Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl 99%)
¼ cup Aloe vera gel
10 drops of Teatree essential oil or Lavender essential oil (or lemon juice)
Make enough so you can carry one in your purse/bag and put one in your car, office, kitchen, and entrance to your home. I collected bottles left over from other projects and made labels so everyone knows what’s in it.
