It’s not hand sanitizer but a substitue for regular liquid hand soap is to fill small pump bottles with half dish detergent and half water. Keep a bottle of higher percent alcohol in every bathroom and your desk. Get some hand lotion so your hands don’t dry out too much.

Put together and place a box of cleaning products in each bathroom and bedroom, especially in those you’ve dedicated as self isolation rooms. The more you prepare those areas now, the less you have to worry and forget things if the time comes. Seeing the box on a counter will remind the family to wash their hands.

The Palmolive “Essential” dishwashing liquid makes great hand soap for those little pump dispensers. I use it “straight up”. (Undiluted) Just a little dab ‘ll do ya, and wash with some medium running water. Palmolive is good about not drying out hands, so you don’t have to waste time* “working in” the hand lotion. (I do still sometimes use hand lotion B4 going to bed, but that’s usually because during the day I had repeat episodes of needing to wash hands of stuff the regular strength dish detergent is not powerful enough for.)

*Granted, I’m on here sporadically. Time...

I ordered 4x 90 oz. bottles (needed to get up to order minimum anyway, and the stuff should last practically forever: The bottle may deteriorate 1st.) When I checked last night, my order was shipped and Wally World showed “out of stock”. I’m guessing a few other people had the same idea.

Isn’t 70% isop. (rubbing alcohol) the most effective strength? Have seen numerous suggestions on these threads to dilute the 91% stuff down.

Otherwise, yeah, good suggestions.
