MEMPHIS, Tenn. — As you have most likely noticed, there is and has been a shortage of disinfecting wipes.

So, if you're struggling to find them on store shelves, you can make your own by grabbing a few items out of your closet or pantry.

Start with a strong, sturdy roll of paper towels.

Then, get one cup of water, a large knife and an air-tight container.

1. actual clorox wipes don't use bleach

most wipes tend to have Alkyl C12-18 Dimethylbenzyl Ammonium Chloride

but bleach is one of the best disinfectants to use. I would just put it in a bowl and use a sponge or rag myself. can also put it in a spray bottle but be aware it is bleach, if you get it on dark or "colored" fabric it will bleach it out.

2. Can't find Clorox spray cleaner either

I make my own kinda the same way. Water, bleach and a few drops of dish soap in the original empty spray container. Works well. I also disinfect with 99% alcohol in a dollar store spray bottle. I use it in lieu of Lysol spray which is also hard to find. A baggie with paper towels cut in half and 70% alcohol poured in to wet them is convenient to stick in your purse or a book bag to clean hands or wipe down a surface.

3. Bleach not usually available here, either.

Tough to get any disinfectants in this area.

So I go with the old standby: soap. Lol
