DIY Hand Sanitizer

By Kleinworth & Co 2 Comments

You can make your own DIY Hand Sanitizer both with and without rubbing alcohol. Find instructions here and to make either a gel or hand sanitizing spray.

Let me first start by saying that when it comes to germs, nothing really comes close to the effectiveness of washing your hands. I’m talking a good, solid 20 seconds of scrubbing up with some warm water & suds.

But that isn’t always possible & germs are everywhere. With the recent run on hand sanitizer these days, we have to find alternate ways to make the things we need. I’m here to tell you that there are ways you can make your own bottles & tubes of hand sanitizer to help in the effort to kill those germs.
