#Repost @golacta with @get_repost ・・・ PSA: plain old hand washing with soap and water for 20 seconds is best for keeping viruses and colds away but sometimes, when water is not readily available (like when out and about), hand sanitizer can stand in until you can properly wash your hands.⠀ ⠀ my sister called me from Seattle last night and we got around to talking about Coronavirus prevention. I can't speak to the availability in your area but stores near me are sold out of hand soap, hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes. all those items are on backorder on Amazon.⠀ ⠀ not to worry mamas, you can whip up a batch of your own.⠀ ⠀ using the ingredients in the post, follow these instructions to make a do-it-at-home hand sanitizer:⠀ - add everclear and aloe vera to a small leak proof container and shake to mix well. ⠀ - add in vitamin E oil & to your preference, add lavender , tea tree and lemon oils. ⠀ - replace cap and shake to evenly distribute. ⠀ - label⠀ - use when you can't access soap and water.⠀ - rub 2-3 drops onto hands and allow to air dry.⠀ - mixture will be very liquid but becomes more gel like within a few days.⠀ - isopropyl alcohol can be used as well but I am seeing this sold out as well.⠀ ⠀ we are NOT ADVOCATING forgoing the practice of good hand washing but if you find yourself without soap or water, a hand sanitizer may be better than nothing at all. or at least until you can get to a sink with soap and water. ⠀ ⠀ stay healthy out there!⠀ ⠀ *for the safety of everyone, please do label your hand sanitizer and keep a watchful eye on kiddos when using.⠀ ⠀ *please do follow the proportions as everclear is almost pure alcohol and can be drying. the aloe vera and vitamin E oil are meant to temper the drying effects of the alcohol on skin while maintaining the alcohol content needed to stifle the virus.⠀ ⠀ *discontinue use immediately if rash or irritation occurs.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #handsanitizer #DIY #makeitathome #coronavirus #PSA https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ohwXDgR1L/?igshid=dhmfs03gz8fv
