never use baby oil for your skin,babies skin,childrens skin or pets either. since baby oil is synthetic fragrance and mineral oil it is an irritant. mineral oil has a very large molecular sructure which lets nothing in or out thus suffocating and clogging your skin. botanical oils are compatible with skin because of its small molecular structure which can be absorbed into our epidermis. grapeseed and apricot are lightest feeling. primrose is great for sensitivities. wheatgerm and jojoba are nuturing. we all have olive oil in our kitchens so use that instead. apricot and almond are best for baby. always make sure if your pregnant you avoid stimulating essential oil like rosemary and eucalyptus. we absorb these oils into our bloodstream through our skin and through inhalation. lavender is safe as well as chammomile.read up before you use essential oils. contrindications exist! and if your allergic to nuts dont use nut oils. so keep it natural.

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 Recipe #185340. Using an electric knife to cut the roll really cut down on the fuzz/mess. Thanks, Loves2Teach!

Wonderful!So far I've made car cleaner wipes, window cleaning wipes, and Murphy's Oil Soap wipes- all with great results. My one comment and slight adaptation, however,is- I don't bother to cut the paper towels in half. I find it to be too much work, hassle, mess (lint fibers everywhere as I'm trying to cut through the roll). . I simply take a jumbo storage bag- add a full roll of Bounty paper towels, and find 6c. of water to be a perfect amount for nice moist wipes. Adjust the other ingredients accordingly. :-) Thanks again!!!
