I cannot find any hand sanitizer. I will carry a bottle of water and a small bar of soap with me.

Does hand sanitizer expire?

“I cannot find any hand sanitizer. I will carry a bottle of water and a small bar of soap with me”

If you can track down 99% alcohol, Aloe Vera jell and some essential oil, like lavender or Tea Tree oil you can make your own. Alcohol will be the tricky one. 99.9% is recommended so you will need to probably find it on-line like I did.

I trained at a home health agency that provided nurses with individual kits of a paper thin slice of soap wrapped in 2 paper towels. We were trained never to use a patient’s bar of soap,because their soap, sitting in goop, CAN actually harbor the patient’s and his family’s germs, that we’re not accustomed to.

Aloe Vera extract, glycerin, coconut fats add a skin soothing component to a straight alcohol sterilant hand wash.

A laundry detergent that tackles protein stains combined with an acid (suggested jokingly as Tide & Orange Juice) is reportedly an effective and somewhat persistent virus killer on surfaces.
