Homemade Altar Cleansing Wipes


Great at cleaning up incense ash, spilled oil from annoying that last candle, or just giving your altar some TLC if you haven’t had much time to practice at it lately.
You will need:
πŸ‹ Mixing bowl, spoon, and sharp knife
πŸ‹ 1 roll strong paper towel
πŸ‹ A large mouth container
πŸ‹ 1 cup water
πŸ‹ ½ cup white vinegar
πŸ‹ ¼ cup rubbing alcohol
πŸ‹ 2 tbsp lemon scented dish soap
πŸ‹ Lemon essential oil
πŸ‹ Rosemary essential oil
Optional: Sharpie, clear quartz, silk plants, hot glue gun, or other decorative supplies.
First, saw your paper towel in half. Remove the cardboard tube from the middle, pulling it through to the top to create a “wipe dispenser.” Stuff the half roll into your container. Next, mix all your wet ingredients together, using 5 drops each of rosemary and lemon essential oil. Pour this mix into your container over your paper towels, and you’re done! I also put 4 small clear quartz chips into the jar in each corner to amplify the cleansing energy of the lemon and rosemary.
From here, you can decorate your container! I drew a cleansing sigil on the lid, fixing a clear quartz point to the center so that I can charge it from time to time. (The black moon is a perfect time for that!)

If they dry out, just add a little more water. Also, if you moisten a wipe and heat it for 10 seconds in the microwave, it can help soften wax spills!!
