How to make your own sanitizer, wipes

Posted

The World Health Organization says handwashing with soap and water is the best way to clean your hands.

But when that’s not an option, the agency recommends using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and wipes with at least 70% alcohol.

99% isopropyl alcohol is the highest recommendation.

The ingredients for this modified recipe are commonly found at most major retailers and drug stores.

If you can’t find them anywhere, think outside the box.

Try office supply stores and home improvement stores.

DIY Hand Sanitizer:

2/3 cup rubbing alcohol of at least 70% alcohol concentration

1/3 cup Aloe Vera

*When using rubbing alcohol with higher alcohol concentrations, add water.

Mix well and fill dispenser of choice

DIY Disinfectant Wipes:

2 cups of warm water

1 cup rubbing alcohol of at least 70% alcohol concentration.

1 tablespoon of dish soap

Mix well

Add mixture to half a roll of paper towels in a Tupperware container
