As the world is experiencing a strong hold from the Corona Virus ( COVID-19). Alot of heartless people have capitalised on making unimaginable gain by increasing the prices of hand Sanitizer and other agents one need to prevent oneself from infections.

For those who may find it difficult to get Hand Sanitizers because of the cost, scarcity or would like to make it in large quantities.

You can do it yourself locally at home for your Families, Friends and Co-Workers to use at the office.

Below is the recipe so you can do it if you can't buy or find
———————-
1.  Get a 1.5L empty clean water bottle.

2.  Get 31.2mls of Hydrogen Peroxide and pour it into the bottle.

3.  Add 22mls of the Glycerin in Rose Water into it.

4.  Add 1.25L of the Methylated Spirit into it.

5.  Finally, make the volume to the 1.5L mark of the bottle (i.e 203ml of the water).

6.  Shake very well and label it as Hand Sanitizer and then you can dispense.
Now, you have your Hand-rub or Sanitizer to use.


The Centre for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that for Hand Sanitizer to be effective against killing of germs, it must contain 60% alcohol.

Thus I have seen other formulation with just 60ml of alcohol (from standard 98% alcohol) and 38ml of water.

Note that experts recommend washing of hand with running water and soap as an effective way of getting rid of the Viruses.

Thanks and I hope it helps.
