Keeping Our Homes Germ Free During Cold and Flu Season

With cold and flu season coming up on us, don't forget to use sanitizing as a means to keep germs at bay.

Don't forget to not only wipe down light switches, refrigerators and stove handles but keep in mind anywhere we touch needs this special cleaning including our keyboards, monitors, mouse and desk.

To help you keep disinfecting wipes in easy reach without high cost, here is a simple homemade recipe for making your own anytime the need comes up.

You will need:

1 roll of Bounty Paper Towels/cut in half, width wise

1 container with lid, large enough to hold the towels in an upright position.
[A coffee can, plastic container or an old wipe container]

1 1/2 Cup Water, that has been boiled and cooled

1/2 Cup 91% Rubbing Alcohol

1/2 Cup Lemon Ammonia

1/2 Cup White Vinegar

Mix the liquid ingredients by lightly shaking or stirring.
Place 1/2 of your cut paper towel roll, cut side down, into your container. Romove the inner core then slowly pour the liquid down over the towels. Place the lid on the container, then move it back and forth, allowing the liquid to be absorbed into the towels. This may take up to 15 minutes.

Open your container and pull a wipe from the middle of the roll. If they seem a little dry, add water 1/4 cup at a time until you get the texture you like.

The liquid can be put in a spray bottle and used to clean through your home. You are ready to face the germs of winter and save money too!
