Homemade disinfectant wipes😊😊😊
And I'm sure you use them everywhere?! 👇🏾
Office, children's toys, kitchen, toilet (ouch)!
Because when we're sick, we tend to use them everywhere to avoid bacteria, when in fact they cause more problems than anything else.

The study is based on labels, ingredient lists published by manufacturers on their websites, and safety data sheets that indicate the concentration of substances.
Packed with substances that are harmful to health and pollute the environment, wipes should absolutely be banned from our cupboards, according to 60 million consumers.
They contain, among other things, acrylcopolymers, formic acids, and fungicides, and also release volatile organic compounds, which are allergenic and carcinogenic.
And for those who don't read the caption, NO, THEY DO NOT CLEAN IN A FEW SECONDS.
If you lift the little green plastic, the instructions state that a minimum 5-minute contact time is required. According to Carolin, "the contact time should be between 1 and 15 minutes depending on the desired effect." As for Sanytol, they recommend "leaving it on for 15 minutes." 😬And that's marketing.
Completely unrealistic instructions for use compared to the actual use of a wipe
🌱Recipe 1
🔹500ml of boiled or filtered water
🔹300ml of white vinegar at least 10%
🔹15 drops of lemon EO or your choice
🌱Recipe 2 - Extra Clean
🔹Mix 1 cup of rubbing alcohol (70%),
🔹2 cups of cold distilled water
🔹1 tablespoon of black soap
🔹EO optional, but the alcohol may make it lose its effectiveness
And if you want to take them with you, just put them in a reusable bag and voila! Non-toxic wipes to keep on hand!
The wipe market will nevertheless grow by 6.81% per year by 2028.
