I have been homeschooling since 2002 and keeping the house clean with a full time houseful of people has been my Waterloo. But we just KEEP ON. That is my mantra. The walk outside is a sanity saver, especially now. Thanks for your great ideas as alwsys, Kathryn! 💜
Your outlook has really helped me this am, your optimism & mindfulness is beyond inspiring! I never knew I could be this inspired by a diy video but these are historical times & you really uplifted me 😍❤️ Thank you, God bless you & your family ❤️🙏❤️ 🇺🇸
I've been making the alcohol based wipes for years, ever since I saw them on this channel. The combo of alcohol, Dawn dish soap, and water works great for disinfecting without bleach. The soap disrupts the virus cell walls, , the alcohol kills bacteria, and the water in the wipes both washes and kind of rinses. This is one of best ideas you've ever shared. Thank you!
Yep! I use the alcohol based wipes too because to me, I want the sanitizing wipes to be skin safe, especially at a time like this when the gloves may almost perpetually sold out or unaffordable. Alcohol might dry out your skin a little bit, but it won't eat your skin or do other harm to your skin like bleach does.
Hi. I have an 82 yr old bed bound Mom in Hospice who I'm trying to protect. There are daily CNA's & nurses who come. So I have to disinfect the metal bed rails, plastic remote, all the plastic containers they touch, front door knob, etc. Will this rust the metal bed rails or door knobs? Any help will be appreciated. Anything one suggests has to be homemade, because I am unable to leave the house. Thanks everyone. 😊
Thank goodness for Kathryn’s creative videos! Not only are they keeping us safe (yay for DIY disinfectant products) but they are such a great distraction from everything going on at the moment! I hope you all stay safe and healthy! Lots of love! ❤️❤️
Even before the corona virus, I always carry a small spray bottle (from dollar tree) filled with rubbing alcohol. I carry baby wipes to wipe my hands and then spray rubbing alcohol onto my hands. I never like the sticky feel of hand sanitizer. Also, I believe alcohol is better than hand sanitizer. I have a small bottle of hand lotion as well to keep my hands from drying.
@@ElizabethAndHerMonsters Not all hand sanitizers use alcohol. I just saw some bottles at Target and they did not contain alcohol. I of course didn't buy it.
thank you so much for this! i've also done this with a stack of napkins. it makes the bleach go soooo much further for the sanitizing purpose. i had not even thought of doing this. you are an angel at a most needed time to make these. this is a game changer for me in terms of my sanitizing supply. Stay safe...sending you light and love. 💕 i have also been making a house cleaner for years with rubbing alcohol, tea tree oil (naturally antibacterial and antifungal), and for hand sanitizer i add aloe vera (from a big plant i have that keeps multiplying!). healthier for you...healthier for the environment. wishing you all much health and peace.
My extended family is HUGE.... like 38 first cousins, and for Upstate New York we are almost unheard of in our communities. But because of this to stay in touch my sister has started a group message board for our entire family, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews, Sisters, Brothers, Dads, and Mothers. It’s so comforting to be able to see that people who you might have lost contact with are safe and you can jump in and start up a conversation with them. Also it’s a great place to share amazing videos like this with your family 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I normally am not an anxious person. But I'm pregnant with my first baby. And right now this has to happen. I have to actively work against anxiety these days. So every positive word helps me. Thank you!😘 Greetings from Germany!🖐
Julia & Bernice....CONGRATS on the blessing growing in your bellies. As an employee in the Senior Living industry....I felt compelled to comment on the anxiousness you are experiencing. As someone, who has a Senior Leadership role in ensuring the safety & wellness of our elder population, who are as vulnerable as the youngest citizens, as well. I can assure you, that if you follow the CDC recommendations for staying well during this unique era, we find ourselves in.....you are doing the best thing possible. Stay hydrated, get good sleep and proper nutrition....and your beautifully growing babies will benefit. Deep breaths, dear Mamas....#thistooshallpass. Wishing you love, light & wellness from South Carolina.
I'm so thankful for your tidbits right now! Your solutions are simple and practical. Isn't this how life should be? Thank you for the goodness, I can feel it everytime I tune in! ❤🕊
This is so great!! Thanks for sharing how to do this Kathryn! Hope you and your family and The(entire)Dime Tribe are happy, healthy and have all you need during this time of stay at home!! Sending peace, love and happiness vibes to all!! ✌❤🙂
You are an Angel! We need your bright spirit right now! I hope you are getting what you need to stay sane in these times! Know that you are making a difference ❤️
I absolutely adore you, your family and this channel. I found your channel several years ago and haven’t missed a video. Thank you for your encouragement, despite the struggles you face daily. I appreciate you and am so thankful for you and your content.
Thank you so much for this reminder! So many people could use this easy solution to manage their homes now that quantities are low. I appreciate your videos and how you keep things simple...easy!
Thank you for spreading positivity and hope! This is a stressful situation for everyone and it's nice to see people not furthering the stress and panic. Your videos are always great but I have especially appreciated this one and the bulk food prep video.
Thanks for the great tips and showing how you are dealing with this exceptionally hard time for everyone. God is good and faithful. Good to know you are all fine. ❤️Blessings.
You and your video's are so helpful and positive!! They always help me. Because of your blessings and kindness I feel so happy on the inside and that is hard these days for many reasons. Your two precious sons are growing so fast. Much Love to you and your family !!!
Thank you for your calm Presence and all those inspiring videos!! I look forward to every one of them , especially this one. You help put me in a calm place. I just love you and your family. Please don't ever think these videos aren't worth it. Thank you again. God Bless you and Stay Well
You are a life saver! Up here in Manitoba (Canada) we have had a week! From first case to school closures to state of emergency. Empty store shelves have been the most overwhelming thing. With this DIY wipes it is now one less worry. ❤👍🌞
Thank you! My Husband has not been able to find the Clorox wipes. I am Immunocompromised due to MS & Asthma. So I am self quarantined. My Husband still has to work (power company). He is taking as many precautions as possible. I actually signed on RUclips to look for a diy for Clorox wipes. You popped up first and I am so grateful!!!!! Stay safe!
After this is over, I will have a pandemic storage along with hurricane for the future. Who would have thought alcohol, clorox and other things would be premium buys.
@@lkrause74 other things people are finding low are acetone to take off gel polish, hair dye for roots, hair clippers are back ordered on many sites (my husband is cutting sons hair) I hope some of the cleaning continues for many without the virus, other illness's aren't deadly but you don't want to catch them either.
I have made these over and over again, my family loves these thick, and handy towel wipes. I use 2 cups of Water, 1/2 cup of Lemon Scented Simple Green, 1/4 cup of Lysol, however I think these would be super just with the Simple Green, which also comes in other scents. Thank you so much, we love them! I share your video with everyone.
This honestly made me tear up. It’s so nice just to hear your voice & to check in with us. Always love seeing your little family, thank you for this! ❤️💔
Enjoy watching your channel very much. We all need to count our blessings right now and make the best of whatever situation we must face. Being home is not a burden we should be thankful we have homes to stay in.🤗🤗🤗. God bless and stay safe.
Thank you so much for doing these videos at a stressful time. I look forward to them at the end of my day where I can relax and reflect. Keep those videos coming!
💕🌸This is SO HELPFUL!!!!! As I’ve been so nervous because all of my clorox wipes are almost gone! Thanks so much for this video!!!! *breathes sigh of relief😌😘👍🏾
As always Kathryn, your videos are calming and informative. It's like seeing an old friend and just taking a moment. I'm staying home as much as possible since I'm in the medically vulnerable population. Seeing you and your family is a wonderful diversion!! Love ya from the Jersey Shore~ 🏖️❣️
Some stores have been having stock of store brand bleach. The only issue is that the store or generic brands haven't been tested by the CDC to make sure they work as well as the brand name counterparts. However, FDA usually does performance testing to make sure they match brand name guidelines. So, if you can find generic, go for it. Another option is to try an online order. Often stores have limited how much you can online order and you have to do it first thing, early in the morning to guarantee finding certain items. Some items are only available first thing in the morning when stores open and you do have to get in line. The other option is if you know your stores aren't limiting certain items is to ask to group with friends. This means whoever can get to the store grabs items for people who need it and then you reimburse one another. You can also collectively plan to go to different stores and each grab multiples of different products at each store simultaneously. Yes, this ends up looking like bulk buying but as long as you're sharing with others, I think that is what matters. We are limited in my area, but I buy items for my mom and dad who are divorced and live separately plus my own family. Everything was limited where I went, so I had to hop around from store to store and I did take advantage of one store with toilet paper that was not limiting. Someone got mad at me and I told them straight out I wasn't buying only for myself. I doubt they believed me, but they don't have to. I watched another guy take just about the whole crate. Sometimes when people do grab a bunch, they're not only just supplying for themselves or they may have a much larger family. Sure there are people who are hoarding. Also, make sure you are following the CDC guidelines. Straight bleach on everything is a WASTE and can destroy materials and ruin them. It's also dangerous to breathe in -excessive- fumes or those already with lung issues and allergies. Make sure you are properly diluting chemical cleaners that are stated to kill the virus as well as having proper ventilation.
Great video!! Good to know about the DIY disinfecting wipes. I always say to look for the silver lining. No matter how bad things are there is something for which to be grateful.
Yaaaay!! Thanks so much my Sweet Sister for presenting this awesome info again!! I totally love & appreciate you & your amazing family!! Blessings & love from Lompoc, CA!! #StayWell
I make the liquid solution and place it in a spray bottle and use a paper towel or cleaning cloth as needed. For max effectiveness dump solution and make a fresh batch every day!
@@guccihaha2817 only because they don't know where to find it. read the label on the bottles of liquid pool chlorine. Sodium Hypochlorate is the same active ingredient as household bleach it's just twice as concentrated at 10-12% where as household bleach is only 5-6%.
Hey!! Love your videos, quick question. I remember reading that the bleach solution that we make with water is only potent for about a day or so. I was wondering if this is the same with the DIY Clorox wipes with paper towels? Do you have to remake the solution over the course of a couple of days?
It is only good for one day. It will be ok to use afterwards if you want to whiten fabric, but as a disinfectant it will be useless. Better to be safe than sorry!
You’re always so cheerful and positive Kathryn and that means the world to your viewers. Thanks for this awesome and necessary tip; love it. Stay healthy and have an amazing weekend. 🤗 #kindnessmatters
I would like to note that Clorox when mixed w/ water has a shelf life of 24 hours for disinfecting power. Still able to clean, not able to kill germs the longer it sits. It is researchable.
I was just about to add my comment as such. It’s only 24 hrs effective, especially when you’re fighting against lethal virus as covid19 and not just normal bacteria.
💪💪💪My new elbow bump emoji until further notice...😂 Thank you so much for your consistency, and your bright cheery disposition in trying times. You are golden. 💪
You’re an awesome person! Thank you for your DIY’s. And thank you for teaching us what you know because it takes time to show us, doing the video, editing plus you have your own life to attend! Thank you so much for what you do! God bless and be safe.
The Clorox wipes would only be good for a few hours after making them. Clorox once diluted quickly loses its effectiveness. Bleach mixed with water at a 1:9 ratio (i.e. 10 percent bleach) is potent for about a day (it's more unstable in its diluted form).
Right I prefer using portable sprayer and a paper towles so I just spray where I need to disinfect I leave it for 10 min then I wipe it. It is the same idea just buy an empty bottle. I also change the solution daily
Clorox Wipes is a product name, Clorox is a brand name used by The Clorox Company. Bleach is not one of the ingredients in Clorox Wipes--the active ingredient is isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). They do not contain sodium hypochlorite (bleach). You can read the list here: www.smartlabel.org/products?company=thecloroxcompany&brand=Clorox.
I am so glad I just watched this.. I was so positive but then I hear things and I get really worried again. I have faith things will get better this to shall pass I just need to stay with faith. God Bless and thanks for that tip with the paper towels that is excellent.
Also, if you didn't think of it already, RE-USE THE EMPTY WIPES CONTAINER!!! I've been keeping them to use for all kinds of small storage, most notably plastic shopping bag dispensers. Recycling project 2-for-1😁 here's a link for the way to fold the bags and decorate the container... ruclips.net/video/64eipC38g6Y/видео.html
I found your channel a couple of months ago so I am very new. I find your content uplifting and inspiring! Please keep posting and doing what you do!!!
Per testing, vinegar will NOT disinfect viruses. According to CDC & NSF (a public health & safety organization), vinegar (or vinegar-based alternative cleaning products) should not be used to disinfect or sanitize. Vinegar can be used as a cleaner but is ineffective against most bacteria & viruses - tests proved it does not kill the flu or coronavirus. Undiluted white vinegar may work on some limited types of bacteria, but it's not the best way to get surfaces germ-free. Don't believe everything you see online, use science testing sources. WHAT CDC RECOMMENDS: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cleaning-disinfection.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fprepare%2Fcleaning-disinfection.html
Thanks so much! Now I can make some to put in a ziploc bag to take with me to make sure things are sanitized when & if we'll be aloud out & about. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I'd rather make sure bleach is in them, than those wipes inside the grocery stores! Most say sanitizer wipes & not all of those will work for the CV19. Thanks again for all your tips! ❤
Kathryn, that's great I have seen it before also love the realistic view of what your kitchen looks ,like having and homeschooling is messy, and hard at times. Plus i love your eye lashes they are so pretty.
I thought diluted bleach lost its potency after 24 hours. Thats what they say about the bleach and water solution that you make to clean counters and non porous surfaces.
I've ran out of baby wipes for my daughter and found some at CVS, they were dried up, zero moisture. So I mixed coconut oil, boiled water and organic soap, and poured it over the dried wipes. Worked like a charm and now I should have enough for a month! Yay DIY-yet I'm not crafty at all!!
You are such an angel... Thank you for always bringing that love and light in every video! This was SUCH a good DIY and the video just lifted my spirit. Health and love to you and your family! X
This is great. If the stuff was available in stores! Y’all stop hoarding stuff. If your gonna get the virus TP and rubbing alcohol ain’t gonna cure you 😩🙄
Hi Kathryn! Oh dear heart!! Thank you for the DIY sansitization wipes!! I will try!! You, Charlie, Carson and Owen stay healthy!! Watch out for runnning. I have osteoarthritis from it. But I am much better now. Walking is healthier for your knees!! Stay healthy! Keep your videos coming!! Love, peace,,and confidence to you and your loved ones! 🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇😘😘😘
one of the best ways to homeschool is just live life and explain and teach as you go. ask questions (you be amazed at what they already have figured out without us) and show them how to find answers. you are not the grand Oracle of knowledge, so relax, you have to show them how to question and how to find the answers and then to question the answers. question-answer-question the answer.
I have been homeschooling since 2002 and keeping the house clean with a full time houseful of people has been my Waterloo. But we just KEEP ON. That is my mantra. The walk outside is a sanity saver, especially now. Thanks for your great ideas as alwsys, Kathryn! 💜

@Simple Christian Living Thank you!!!! I'm passing that along.

Alcohol might dry out your skin a little bit, but it won't eat your skin or do other harm to your skin like bleach does.

So you use only the alcogol you dont dilute it?

@Ryan-Ashleigh Reid you’re quite welcome!
It is only good for one day. It will be ok to use afterwards if you want to whiten fabric, but as a disinfectant it will be useless. Better to be safe than sorry!
Thank you sweet Kathryn!!! Stay safe and well lil family!!!
You’re always so cheerful and positive Kathryn and that means the world to your viewers. Thanks for this awesome and necessary tip; love it. Stay healthy and have an amazing weekend. 🤗

God Bless You and your family...and thank you so much for taking the time to show us your diys... Please be safe...😊😊😊
I found you when you first showed us that trick... stay blessed.
Thank you so much for keeping the videos coming! Such a bright spot during this time!
I would like to note that Clorox when mixed w/ water has a shelf life of 24 hours for disinfecting power. Still able to clean, not able to kill germs the longer it sits. It is researchable.
Oh wow🤔
Is that the same for disinfectants that are made to be diluted and placed in spray bottles?
Had no idea :-(
Thank you
I was just about to add my comment as such. It’s only 24 hrs effective, especially when you’re fighting against lethal virus as covid19 and not just normal bacteria.
Thanks so much, Kathryn! Stay safe and healthy...LOVE you!!!
💪💪💪My new elbow bump emoji until further notice...😂 Thank you so much for your consistency, and your bright cheery disposition in trying times. You are golden. 💪
You’re an awesome person! Thank you for your DIY’s. And thank you for teaching us what you know because it takes time to show us, doing the video, editing plus you have your own life to attend! Thank you so much for what you do! God bless and be safe.
The Clorox wipes would only be good for a few hours after making them. Clorox once diluted quickly loses its effectiveness. Bleach mixed with water at a 1:9 ratio (i.e. 10 percent bleach) is potent for about a day (it's more unstable in its diluted form).
Thank you for pointing this out. I did some research and higher ratios (say 1:4) can last a week or more. I was thinking more spray bottle use.
Thanks! I didn’t know that. I guess I will make a smaller amount to use whenever I want.
Right I prefer using portable sprayer and a paper towles so I just spray where I need to disinfect I leave it for 10 min then I wipe it. It is the same idea just buy an empty bottle. I also change the solution daily
Clorox Wipes is a product name, Clorox is a brand name used by The Clorox Company. Bleach is not one of the ingredients in Clorox Wipes--the active ingredient is isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). They do not contain sodium hypochlorite (bleach). You can read the list here: www.smartlabel.org/products?company=thecloroxcompany&brand=Clorox.
Brian Rener Yes! Also the active ingredient in bleach, sodium hypochlorite, can vary on the brand. 2-10%. So that also can affect the efficacy.
Thanks for still putting up videos. You are always so up lifting, and I love the silly endings with your son.
I have old cotton shirts to cut into squares to wash and reuse in case paper towels are in short supply. I’ll use pinking shears
KD Ramsey great idea!! I’m going to use my old shirts! 👍🏻
I hope it works we’ll for you!
I Always feel better after one of your videos! You are a Blessing for sure😘
Thanks for the CDC link!!! xo
Thank you so much for your sweet messages and videos at the end! God Bless and stay safe!🤗🤗🤗
Will the bleach stain anything you wipe down with these? Even though it is diluted?
Joya Davidson yes
I am so glad I just watched this.. I was so positive but then I hear things and I get really worried again. I have faith things will get better this to shall pass I just need to stay with faith. God Bless and thanks for that tip with the paper towels that is excellent.
Can you do this with a stack of small/thin microfiber washcloths to make them reusable?
Definitely! 👍👍
I have been making ours for years with cloths. I also use the towels from the cash wash. When I wash those I wash them in a linen bag though.
I'm thinking I can make the solution and put it in a spray bottle too!
Also, if you didn't think of it already, RE-USE THE EMPTY WIPES CONTAINER!!! I've been keeping them to use for all kinds of small storage, most notably plastic shopping bag dispensers. Recycling project 2-for-1😁 here's a link for the way to fold the bags and decorate the container...

Better yet in my opinion 👍
Thanks for the tips, you're always also helpful and upbeat. Hope you and your family are safe during this crisis. 🙏
Just so everyone is aware, clorox wipes you buy at the store DO NOT have bleach in them.
Thank you for the good info and the wonderful attitude. God bless you and your family.
Awesome video, I made some too

I found your channel a couple of months ago so I am very new. I find your content uplifting and inspiring! Please keep posting and doing what you do!!!
I feel like this quarantine has been good for me personally to catch up on everything.
👍Dido same here one at a time
Same! 💕💕
I love this girl! SO MUCH! Never met you but you're so pure to me! Been following you since day one, yet I never comment. GOD BLESS YOU!
Hello, Good morning 😊😊 everyone be safe
Thank you for your positivity and helpful content. Stay safe.
Big fan here. I have lots of vinegar, can you upload a video using vinegar as disinfectant? Thanks!
Happy Scrapper Mom of 3 It’s ok to clean with vinegar, but vinegar does not kill viruses.
Per testing, vinegar will NOT disinfect viruses. According to CDC & NSF (a public health & safety organization), vinegar (or vinegar-based alternative cleaning products) should not be used to disinfect or sanitize. Vinegar can be used as a cleaner but is ineffective against most bacteria & viruses - tests proved it does not kill the flu or coronavirus. Undiluted white vinegar may work on some limited types of bacteria, but it's not the best way to get surfaces germ-free. Don't believe everything you see online, use science testing sources. WHAT CDC RECOMMENDS: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cleaning-disinfection.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fprepare%2Fcleaning-disinfection.html
Thank you for the simple ideas. Surprising how easy with things we have at home. Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks so much! Now I can make some to put in a ziploc bag to take with me to make sure things are sanitized when & if we'll be aloud out & about.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'd rather make sure bleach is in them, than those wipes inside the grocery stores! Most say sanitizer wipes & not all of those will work for the CV19.
Thanks again for all your tips! ❤
Dazzling Dee great idea 👍🏽
Kathryn, that's great I have seen it before also love the realistic view of what your kitchen looks ,like having and homeschooling is messy, and hard at times. Plus i love your eye lashes they are so pretty.
I thought diluted bleach lost its potency after 24 hours. Thats what they say about the bleach and water solution that you make to clean counters and non porous surfaces.
I have been using alcohol diy wipes from your channel love it..best way to go.. thanks for sharing all your diy household products.
Ily ♥️
Thank you! Excellent video and great positive attitude (which we all need now more than ever!)
I made baby wipes like this when my kids were babies- using baby bath soap, not bleach! 😂
Recipe please.
I've ran out of baby wipes for my daughter and found some at CVS, they were dried up, zero moisture. So I mixed coconut oil, boiled water and organic soap, and poured it over the dried wipes. Worked like a charm and now I should have enough for a month! Yay DIY-yet I'm not crafty at all!!
You are such an angel... Thank you for always bringing that love and light in every video! This was SUCH a good DIY and the video just lifted my spirit. Health and love to you and your family! X
This is great. If the stuff was available in stores! Y’all stop hoarding stuff. If your gonna get the virus TP and rubbing alcohol ain’t gonna cure you 😩🙄
Hi Kathryn! Oh dear heart!! Thank you for the DIY sansitization wipes!! I will try!! You, Charlie, Carson and Owen stay healthy!! Watch out for runnning. I have osteoarthritis from it. But I am much better now. Walking is healthier for your knees!! Stay healthy! Keep your videos coming!! Love, peace,,and confidence to you and your loved ones! 🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇😘😘😘
one of the best ways to homeschool is just live life and explain and teach as you go. ask questions (you be amazed at what they already have figured out without us) and show them how to find answers. you are not the grand Oracle of knowledge, so relax, you have to show them how to question and how to find the answers and then to question the answers. question-answer-question the answer.
Thanks for your wonderful show. You are sunshine through difficult times.
