Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer

Washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds is the #1 way to protect yourself from germs. The next best is using a hand sanitizer. 

You can make your own. Now, to be effective, hand sanitizer needs to have a strength of at least 60 percent isopropyl alcohol. Most suggest that the mixture contain at least two-thirds 99 percent isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and one-third gel. Note; the sanitizer is only effective if you cover your hands thoroughly and then let it dry. Squirting a few drops into your palms and then wiping your hands does not help at all.
