DIY Kitchen Cleaning Wipes

At one point in my life, I was one of those people that had a recurring bulk order of sanitizing wipes. I used those things everywhere because they were so handy to just pull out and wipe everything down. There is another way! Replace those store bought wipes with this easy version of homemade DIY Kitchen Cleaning Wipes.


Here’s why I started making my own:

And please don’t think this is one of those messy tutorials where we cut an entire roll of paper towels in half. That is such a cool idea in the blogosphere, but the reality was not great for me.

Here’s why I skip that step now:

The key to this powerful, little cleaning wipe is the cleaning combination of vinegar and a tiny 1/2 teaspoon of Sal Suds Liquid Cleaner from Dr. Bronner’s [3]. Everyone knows that vinegar cleans and deodorizes.

Then the Sal Suds takes this wipe to the next level of power. Sal Suds is man-made with plant-based surfactants without any synthetic dyes, fragrances, or preservatives. We love Sal Suds in these other popular household recipes:

If you’d prefer a 100% natural alternative to the man-made power of Sal Suds, you can use Dr. Bronner’s Organic Unscented Castile Soap [8]. It’s very gentle on the skin and offers natural cleaning properties.

We also didn’t really want these kitchen wipes to smell flowery, so we added some great essential oils that give your kitchen a great crisp, clean, cozy smell.
