Happy Farm Girl Friday! Okay, I started a new little sustainability project today! It all started with a 100% cotton fitted sheet that got a rip in it. Not exactly sure how it happened, but I have 460 pounds of dog in my house and they can be a little rough on things 😅 I didn’t think I could efficiently repair it without a whole ton of effort, and no guarantees it still wouldn’t fall apart. I didn’t love the idea of just tossing it in the trash either… 🤔 Now, I try to live a pretty low toxic and reduced waste kind of life, but sometimes I’m lulled into what’s easy-as we all are! I started keeping disinfecting wipes in the house and using them pretty regularly for wiping down countertops. So, I found a recipe for a low tox switch! I started by cutting the clean sheet into single use sized wipes, folded them up, put them into a gallon sized glass jar with a sealing lid and filled it with a mixture of filtered water, vinegar, vodka, and tea tree and lemon essential oils! Now I have disinfecting wipes on hand that are washable and reusable! Feel free to message me if you want the exact recipe!
