In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, hand sanitizer has become an essential item for maintaining good hygiene and preventing the spread of germs. With the increasing demand and potential shortages, it's important to know how to make your own hand sanitizer at home. Join Barbara Lehman, a renowned expert in microbiology and infection control, as she guides you through the process.
Ingredients and Materials:
- 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
- 3% hydrogen peroxide
- Glycerin
- Aloe vera gel (optional)
- Essential oils (optional, for scent)
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Funnel
- Empty bottles or containers
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Gather your materials. Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and materials before you begin.
- Measure the ingredients. Use the measuring cups and spoons to accurately measure the ingredients according to the following proportions:
- 2 parts isopropyl alcohol
- 1 part hydrogen peroxide
- 1/2 part glycerin
- 1/4 part aloe vera gel (optional)
- A few drops of essential oils (optional, for scent)
- Mix the ingredients. Pour the measured ingredients into the mixing bowl and stir thoroughly until they are well combined. The mixture should be clear and slightly viscous.
- Transfer the mixture to bottles. Use a funnel to carefully pour the mixture into empty bottles or containers. Fill the bottles to the desired level, leaving some space at the top for the pump or lid.
- Label the bottles. Clearly label the bottles with the contents, date of preparation, and any necessary precautions. This will help prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.
Safety Precautions:
* Always wear gloves when handling the ingredients, especially isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. * Avoid contact with eyes or skin. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. * Keep the hand sanitizer out of reach of children and pets. * Store the hand sanitizer in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight.
Additional Tips:
* If you don't have glycerin, you can use a small amount of aloe vera gel as a substitute. * Essential oils can be added for a pleasant scent, but they are not necessary for the effectiveness of the hand sanitizer. * The hand sanitizer should be applied to clean, dry hands. Use enough to cover all surfaces of the hands and rub vigorously for at least 20 seconds. * Allow the hand sanitizer to air dry completely before handling food or touching surfaces.
By following these instructions and safety precautions, you can create a safe and effective hand sanitizer at home. Remember to wash your hands frequently with soap and water when possible, and use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
