Simple Homemade Cleaning Wipes Recipe
-
💧
Distilled Water 1½ cups
-
🍶
White Vinegar ½ cup
-
🫧
Liquid Castile Soap 1 tablespoon
-
🌸
Essential Oils (lavender, tea tree, or lemon) 10–15 drops
Tip: Do not use vinegar on natural stone surfaces like marble or granite. For a gentler formula, reduce vinegar and increase water.
- Combine water, vinegar, castile soap, and essential oils in a bowl or jar. Stir gently to combine.
- Place a dry wipe roll in a resealable container or wipe dispenser.
- Slowly pour the solution over the roll, letting it absorb evenly for 5–10 minutes.
- Remove the cardboard core once the roll is saturated and pull wipes from the center.
- Store with a secure lid. Use within 1–2 weeks for best freshness.
Why it works: Castile soap lifts grease and residue while vinegar cuts through mineral deposits and light soil. Essential oils add scent and surface-safe properties without synthetic fragrance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about DIY plant-based wipes and Wipex rolls.
What are DIY plant-based wipes?
DIY plant-based wipes are dry wipes made from plant-derived fibers that you saturate with your own homemade or natural cleaning solution. Unlike pre-moistened wipes with fixed chemical formulas, DIY plant-based wipes let you fully control what goes into your cleaning routine—choosing ingredients like castile soap, vinegar, or essential oils.
How do I make homemade cleaning wipes with Wipex rolls?
Mix 1½ cups distilled water, ½ cup white vinegar, 1 tablespoon castile soap, and 10–15 drops of essential oil in a bowl. Place a Wipex dry wipe roll into a sealed container, pour the solution over it evenly, and allow 5–10 minutes to absorb. Remove the cardboard core and pull wipes from the center when ready to use.
Can I use DIY plant-based wipes on floors?
Yes. Wipex dry wipe rolls work well as a DIY Swiffer alternative for floor cleaning. Cut to size, dampen with a mild floor-safe solution, and attach to a standard flat mop head. They are suitable for tile, laminate, and sealed hardwood. Avoid undiluted vinegar on natural stone like marble or granite.
Are plant-based wipes suitable for gyms and fitness studios?
Yes. Plant-based wipes are well-suited for gyms, yoga studios, and pilates facilities. They clean effectively without the harsh solvents that can degrade foam mats, rubber surfaces, or equipment upholstery. Wipex rolls can be set up with a plant-based solution at each station for easy equipment wipe-down between clients or classes.
What cleaning ingredients work best with Wipex dry wipe rolls?
Distilled water, white vinegar, liquid castile soap, and essential oils (such as lavender, tea tree, or lemon) are the most popular DIY cleaning ingredients. For more delicate surfaces, reduce vinegar content and increase water. Always test on a small inconspicuous area first when using a new formula.
Why use dry wipe rolls instead of pre-moistened wipes?
Dry wipe rolls have a longer shelf life since they are not pre-saturated. They allow you to choose your own cleaning formula instead of accepting a fixed chemical blend. They also eliminate the risk of wipes drying out before use, and give you the flexibility to switch formulas for different surfaces or purposes without buying multiple products.
Are Wipex wipe rolls suitable for childcare facilities?
Yes. Because Wipex rolls are dry and unformulated, childcare facilities can use their own mild, fragrance-free, or pediatrician-approved cleaning solutions. This gives caregivers full control over what touches children's surfaces—an advantage over pre-formulated wipes with fixed fragrances and preservatives.
How many rolls come in a Wipex DIY wipe roll case?
Each Wipex DIY Plant-Based Wipe Roll case includes 12 rolls. This quantity suits both household use and regular commercial or studio use without the need for frequent reordering.
