Introduction
Do you think using hand sanitizer wipes will help keep germs at bay?
It will!
Can you make your own, that are as effective as store-bought sanitizing wipes?
Yes! As long as you use 60% (2/3) or more alcohol and that doesnt include vodka, or any other type of alcoholic drink. The alcohol itself should be at least 90% pure.
While washing your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water is the most effective way to clean them and protect yourself, there are many times you dont have access to both. Hand sanitizer wipes will help you keep your hands germ-free and you can use them to sanitize surfaces, too.
Hand sanitizing wipes are handy to pack in small zipper-top baggies or re-closable baby wipe containers, so you can always have some with you. Its not a substitute for hand-washing, but it can help in your war against germs.
While these wipes are made for your hands and those of your little ones, you can use them to wipe off your phone every day. This is an excellent idea, even if its not cold and flu season.
After you clean your hands with sanitizing wipes, theyll feel squeaky clean and youll know that most of the germs are killed. Turn the page, lets start making wipes for your family
