D.I.Y. Glass Cleaning Wipes

D.I.Y. Glass Cleaning Wipes

Glass and Windows:
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup isopropyl rubbing alcohol

Materials
:
Round 34.5 oz. plastic coffee container, such as Folgers 1/2 Caff container
Extra large roll of paper towel
Liquid measuring cups

Tools:
Electric drill with a 1/2 inch drill bit, or utility knife and sharp scissors
Electric knife or large chef knife

Steps:
1. Use an electric or chefs knife to cut the paper towel roll in half.

2. Place one of the paper towel halves in the container and save the other half to use later.

3. Pour your cleaning solution over the paper towel, place lid on, and let the paper towel absorb the cleaning
solution for 4 hours or overnight.

4. Using a small block of wood as support, drill a 1/2 inch hole in the center of the container lid. If you are using
a utility knife cut a 1/2 inch "x" and then pull up each piece and cut about 1/8 of it away with your very sharp
scissors.

5. Gently pull out the cardboard from the paper towel and discard. Pull out the inside end of the paper towel roll
from where the cardboard had been, being very careful not to tear it.

6. Carefully thread the end of the paper towels through the 1/2 inch hole and put the lid back on.

7. Pull gently every time you use the cleaning wipes, as you don't want to end up having to take the lid off every time you want to use a wipe.
