This article provides instructions on how to make a hand sanitizer using hydrogen peroxide, distilled or boiled water, and aloe vera. It emphasizes the importance of keeping hands clean to prevent germs, avoid getting sick, and prevent the spread of germs to others. The CDC recommends washing hands with soap and water whenever possible to reduce the amount of germs and chemicals on hands. Hand sanitizer kills many microbes but is not effective for cleaning chemicals off hands.
When on the go, hand rub or liquid hand sanitizer can be used as a solution. However, alcohol-based hand sanitizer is ignitable and should be managed and disposed of safely. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer should be disposed of at a residence or household, and it is essential to stick to a 2:1 proportion of alcohol to aloe vera. After applying the gel, rub it in thoroughly, paying attention to the back of your hands, thumbs, and between your fingers.
To effectively kill germs, the total alcohol in your hand sanitizer should be around 75. If you need 60 alcohol or more, use 1 sodium hypochlorite solution (1kg bleaching powder in 1 bucket of water) as per the MOHFW guideline. In this guide, you will learn how to formulate your own hydro-alcoholic spray with only 3 ingredients and at a low cost of around $4.50 per 100 ml.
The article also provides general information for households and businesses related to the management and disposal of hand sanitizer as a solid and hazardous waste.
