Notes
- Once you have made your master blend, all you will need to do to remake wipes when you run out is to follow the steps to add the blend to the water and pour over the wipes. I do this in thirds so that the mixture disperses evenly through the wipes.
- Note that you can also use distilled water in this recipe. You can purchase this at the supermarket, but it does come in a plastic bottle - and of course, you have to pay for it. I prefer to boil the kettle, make a cup of tea, then by the time my tea is finished the water is cool enough to make the wipes. If you use boiled water straight from the kettle, this can affect the properties of the essential oils which is why I recommend to let the water cool first.
- You can use whatever size bottle you like to make your master blend. The recipe is simple - just half the bottle of Castile Soap and the other half Fractionated Coconut Oil.
