In a pinch, you can make your own disinfectant wipes with just a few household items. Follow these instructions from Healthline to make disposable or reusable wipes.
First, you’ll need:
1 roll of paper towels or small microfiber kitchen cloths
Tall, airtight container large enough to fit a paper towel roll — one with a lid that’s not used for storing food, beverages, or chemicals
Gloves for handling bleach
Set up your materials on a safe, clean surface away from children and pets.
Put on gloves.
Pour water into the container and then add the correct amount of bleach based on the type you have using Healthline’s chart.
Submerge your paper towels or cloths in the bleach solution.
Allow your wipes to soak in the bleach solution for 5 minutes before using.
Pour excess bleach solution into a spray bottle to use on surfaces or make more disinfectant wipes.
How to properly sanitize surfaces
To disinfect surfaces like countertops and doorknobs, the product needs to sit on the surface for a period of time — up to 3 to 5 minutes, according to the CDC. Depending on the instructions for the particular product, you may need to use more than one wipe to keep the surface wet for the directed length of contact time, says the CDC.
Be sure to thoroughly wipe down surfaces and objects that are frequently touched, including:
Desks, tables and countertops
Laptops and other computer hardware like a mouse and keyboard
