As you cannot buy them I am making my own. I got baby wipes, opened and added tablespoon powerful disinfect with Chloroxylenol, and will leave to penetrate wipes. Didn't do O level chemistry for nothing!

I like your style, can't get them here either. Using baby wipes and zoflora to do the same. Also carrying out in the car diluted zoflora and hand sanitizer

How much zoflora do you use in an average pack of baby wipes please.

I use half a capful, let it soak in for 24 hours, turning regularly

I also make my own - I tear off several sheets of kitchen roll, fold them into quarters and place the folded sheets into a Lock and Lock container then soak them in 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IA). I have a good stock of the IA so it's working for me. I've also been known to do it with household bleach (but just for use on sanitary ware, and only after gloving up!).

Quick endorsement of Lock and Lock containers, if that's permitted - BPA free, air and water tight, those things are amazing! Robust - my husband has several in the boot and those things really do take a beating. Using them in the house I've been impressed at how well the lock clips stand up to open-close-open-close, rinse and repeat hourly on some things I use the containers for.
