DIY Bathroom Wipes opps

I have to share a D'uh moment. 

The other day I cut our paper towels in half because my husband doesn't understand how to ration them. 

I decided to make my own bathroom wipes with the other half. I took the cardboard center out. I had an old cylinder size container that other wipes had come in. I put the paper towels in there. 

Here is where I should have thought it thru. 

I poured enough vinegar and hot water in there to fill the canister half way. 
The next day I went to use them and the paper towels had absorbed all of the liquid and I could hardly get a wipe out. 
I managed to squeeze some of the liquid out but they are still pretty soaked.
