Recycled....

   I counted over 60 rings, so it must have been at least that old when living.  I know, can't you believe I counted the rings???  Dead give-away, huh, Snookie?  (I can't let Snookie out do me in the unusual dead recycled tree department.) It's bad enough that she's winning the "practical joke game."

Let's save some $$$ with homemade cleaning products:

Laundry Pre-Wash Spray recipe
1/2 cup ammonia
1/2 cup liquid laundry detergent
Water
Put all the ingredients into a pint spray bottle.
Shake well before using.

To make Sanitizing Sheets:

All you need is…

• A roll of paper towels (dollar store)
• A bottle of rubbing alcohol (dollar store)
• An old baby wipe container (or a large sealable freezer bag)

Slip the core out of the roll of paper towels.
Use a serrated knife to cut the towels in half to fit in the baby wipe container or freezer bag.
Lay them in the container and soak them with the rubbing alcohol. (Make sure you properly label the container so you don’t wipe juniors tushy with them.)
It’s that simple.

But does rubbing alcohol kill germs?
You betcha.
It’s used in hospitals and doctors office to sterilize instruments, and wipe off exam beds. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.
My roll of paper towels had 75 on them. When I cut them in half I had 150 wipes. If I’m spending $2 to make them that comes to a fraction over a penny per wipe. For a package of 40 Lysol wipes at $3.85 per package that figured out to be 10 cents per wipe.
I’m sold!
