It can be tough enough fighting off everyday germs between sneezy kids, air travel and the shopping carts at the store! But with an epic flu season and Coronavirus rolling through 2020 everyone is on high alert for hygiene! Fight germs with the soothing addition of lavender by making your own disinfecting wipes! Here is what you’ll need to be prepared:
· 3 drops of STATERA™ lavender essential oil
· 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil (optional)
· 1 cup of warm water
· 1 Tablespoon of rubbing alcohol
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. It’s helpful if you have a bowl with a notch for pouring. If your wipes are for strictly disinfecting surfaces you may want to double the rubbing the alcohol. If you are making the wipes just for your hands, the coconut oil can be a nice addition, just ensure it’s completely melted and incorporated into the mixture before adding to your wipes. You’ll need a container to store your wipes, local pharmacies often carry travel containers that will work, but an old baby wipe container or baggies will do the trick too! Pour your mixture over either a stack of heavy-duty napkins or folded paper towels and seal in the container. If you have a lot of excess liquid you may want to pour that off or make a second batch of wipes! We like to take one or two wipes in a small snack size baggy for when we travel to clean down the seat and tray on planes. You can travel easier knowing you have cleaned your area but also with the soothing scent of STATERA™ lavender to relax you while you travel.
Quick tip! The first time you make the wipes you can buy a set of baby wipes; you will need less liquid, but you can save it for later use. Then the next time you will have the container to reuse!
Stay healthy!
