I can't take credit for this idea. I got it out of a book. However, every time I use it, I think "I must spread the word!"
So, here you go. Instead of buying disposable cleaning wipes(that choke up landfills), make your own reusable ones. I keep one jar in each bathroom and when I need a quick cleaning fix, wham-o! Job done. Here's how: cut up old t-shirts in about 4-inch squares. In an old glass jar, put 1/4 c. water, a couple of squirts of soap and some essential oils (if you have some). Put the lid on and shake. Then, add the cut up clothes. Ta-da! Pre-moistened cleaning cloths. You may have to adjust the soap/water ratio. If you use too much soap, you will have a soap-residue. The beauty of all of this is that no chemicals are used so I just wash the dirty rags in the washing machine and add them back to the solution.
There ya go.
