When my babies were little I'd make my own baby wipes using paper towels and baby bath. I have since discovered how to use paper towels to make glass cleaning wipes.
I kid you not. These work great, are super easy to make and are super cheap.

Glass Cleaning Wipes
- Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup rubbing alcohol
- ½ cup vinegar
- Paper towel roll (I use Bounty)
Directions
Cut the roll of paper towels in half.
Cut the roll of paper towels in half.
Mix water, vinegar and rubbing alcohol together. Pour mixture over the paper towels. Allow to sit for about 20 minutes in order for the liquid to be absorbed by the paper towels. Now remove the cardboard centre. It should come out easily now that it's wet.
To use the wipes just pull from the centre.

NOTES: Use a roll that has about 80 sheets on it. I only had the 48 sheet rolls at home and needed to use both halves to absorb all the liquid.
The hardest part about this recipe is finding a container to store your wipes in. Look for one that has about a 10 cup capacity. You can even use a gallon size Ziploc bag.
These guys get hardcore and drill a hole in the top of their container so you don't even have to lift the lid. I probably wouldn't recommend that because the wipes would dry out a lot faster.
Here's the recipe for the Baby Wipes I use to make...and LOVE.
BABY WIPES
2 cups warm water
2 TBL Baby bath (I always used Baby Magic because I loved the smell of it but any brand would work)
I have now seen recipes that use 1 TBL Baby oil as well. I have never tried it with the oil but it seems like a good add.
