The post I read had instructions on using a full roll of paper towel and cutting it in half. That just seemed too messy to me, and would really bother me to have uneven edges. I thought of using these nice and soft hand towels instead. I found them on sale for $2.50. I will keep my eye out for the right container to hold them, but for now, my upcycled coffee container fit them just fine.
Most of the store bought pre moistened wipes only come in 30 packs. There are 60 of these towels so I am already at a savings.
Two cups room temperature water that has been previously boiled. Dissolve 1 - 2 tablespoons coconut oil in the water. I decided to use a few drops of some essential oil, Serenity anyone?
To get the towels wet enough I had to more than double the amount of liquid I made. I used 5 cups of water and 5 tablespoons of coconut oil to get them properly moistened. I think next time I will half the amount of coconut oil. After testing my concoction I am pleased, but do feel that it is a tad bit oily. They smell heavenly and I will see how they fair moistness wise throughout the next month or two.
