Homemade Baby Wipes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 package cloth-like paper towels (not the cheapest papery type)
    2 cups hot water, boiled
    1 tablespoon baby bath soap or 1 tablespoon baby shampoo
    1 tablespoon oil (baby oil, mineral oil, massage oil)
    1 tablespoon lotion (baby lotion or regular)
    1 tablespoon white vinegar (to inhibit mold)
Preparation
    Saw the paper towels in half lengthwise with a serrated kitchen knife (not your best one ... this can't be \"good\" for it). Mix the hot water and following ingredients:
    Put the half roll in a plastic container that has a lid, Tupperware-type, empty roll-type baby wipe container, etc.
    Shredded side down -- I pick as much of the shredded paper off as I can -- otherwise you leave \"lint balls\" on your baby's bum.
    Pour the water solution over the roll.
    (Don't worry about the cardboard tube.) Let sit about 5 minutes, then turn upside down for 5 more minutes to saturate the roll.
    Now the cardboard tube will pull out easily.
    Pull a \"wipe\" from the center.
    I make one roll at a time and wash the container well between uses. (Note: Mold can be an issue. Suggestions include using Johnson & Johnson soap or 4 drops of tea tree oil to inhibit mold.)
