You can make your own baby wipes and save lots of money during your child's diaper wearing phase. All you need is a roll of good quality 2-ply paper towel and some simple ingredients from your kitchen. You can put everything into a wipes container - or, you can keep the solution in a bottle and use washcloths. These are great to keep in the car as well and can work to remove makeup at the end of the day too!
Recipe:
2 TBSP Baby Shampoo 2 TBSP Olive Oil 2 Drops Tea Tree Oil (this adds anti-bacterial properties, if you don't have this you should 1 T of white vinegar instead) 2 Drop Orange Essential Oil (any oil scent that you like) 2 Cups Water
Method:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Cut roll of paper towel in half with clean edge Chef's knife. Pour ¼ of the liquid in the container bottom then put the cut side of the paper towel roll into the container. Pour the remaining solution over top of the paper towel roll. Let stand for ten minutes and then remove the cardboard centre from the roll of wipes. Pull wipes from the centre to start using.

Hi!
I live in the U.S. I love watching Steven and Chris. I watched you make these and I forgot how much you saved. You know how you show us the average then how much those are to make? I tried to watch the episode but since I do not live in Canada it will not let me! :-( very upsetting! If you could please let me know what you save I would love to pass it along. I run a daycare and have many friends with children. Along with me.
Thank you inadvance!
