You’ve got lots of great non toxic cleaning ideas. I think I’ll go through all my “cleaning supplies” and replace them with non toxic goodness! Thanks for the inspiration
Thanks for the video Lisa! I love using the old tshirts as rags but when they’re thinning I recycle them again into yarn for bathroom mats. They last forever and I just love taking it one more step. I’m going to try the wipes recipe soon as I just love Dr. Bronners soap. I just got the cherry blossom and green tea scent and omg they smell so good!!
@@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner I grew up on a farm and we reused everything. Old torn up clothing would be rags, patches for the knees of my brothers jeans, used as fabric for quilts, etc. nothing went to waste. We couldn’t afford to waste anything. It’s taught me a valuable lesson in life.
Hi Meadow- It has a pungent smell, doesn't it?? There’s not another essential oil that I know of that has the same properties. Instead you can replace the tea tree with another essential oil that you like, or omit it altogether. The soap in the solution will do the cleaning. Vinegar does not have broad disinfecting properties and can’t be mixed with the Castile Soap. It causes the soap to unsaponify and turn into a goopy mess.
Question - you mentioned that the wipes have a shelf life of 1-2 weeks. Must I totally dispose of the wipes afterwards, or can I just wash 'em and reuse? Which would you recommend? Thanks!
I read tea tree can be toxic to pets and my kids were going to use these wipes to clean their pet cage so I erred in the side of caution and used lemon, for this purpose anyway. Ill try tea tree for other uses. Thanks so much!!! I'm new to GIY so all the help you give is just wonderful. Thank you!

For some odd reason, I have never thought to make my own disinfectant wipes.... until NOW. Thank you for this video!!

Absolutely if you've used cloth wipes, you can wash them and start with a fresh solution.
@@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner ok! Just making sure!
Can I use lemon instead of tea tree?
Hi Christine- Tea tree is known for it's antimicrobial properties, which is why I chose it here. But you can whatever essential oils you like.
@@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner thank you.

I am so relieved you don't use vinegar! The Mold Elimination Diet lists vinegar as high in mold, and people with asthma like me cannot use vinegar!!!
