Homemade Wipes

I'm not sure if this is homeschool-related, but I'm planning to make my own baby wipes and cleaning wipes, as soon as I run out of the store-bought ones that I'm currently using. I really, really love wipes of all kinds, especially because the kids can help me clean with them and I don't have to entrust them with an entire spray bottle of toxic cleaner, but they're kind of expensive...supposedly, this will save both money and the environment. You cut a roll of paper towels in half (using an electric knife, it says, as though anyone actually owns one of those). Then, you stick them in a tupperware container that's big enough to hold the half-roll with the lid on. Next, you pour on the wipe solution and remove the cardboard tube. You cut a hole in the lid to pull the wipes through (from the center, where you removed the tube), and voila - homemade wipe dispenser. Here are the recipes; I'll let you know how this goes. I know my sister has made the baby wipes before...Em, if you're out there, give me your opinion on whether this is a worthwhile project. It sounds kind of fun, if nothing else.
