What are you guys doing for hand sanitizing

Question

While out?  
I cannot find sanitizing wipes, sanitizer, or even rubbing alcohol ANYWHERE because people have lost their damn minds and are cleaning their hands for the first time in their lives apparently and I can’t afford to buy it in bulk.  
I have one daughter with a chronic illness that causes immunodeficiency and my son is a preemie.  So normally I have Clorox wipes in my diaper bag and hand sanitizer also because it’s still flu season.  I ran out and can’t find any anywhere now.  I’m so anxious about leaving the house with them now but I really have no choice 😫
Anyone have tips for cleaning cart handles and hands without that?  Some stores have them when you walk in but others don’t.  I saw a woman steal about 50 of them from the local grocery store and shove them in a ziplock the other day so even that’s not guaranteed to be available.

Answer

Google DIY hand sanitizer and I believe it uses aloe vera gel, alcohol, and you can add essential oils if you want.

Answer

2/3 rubbing alcohol and 1/3 aloe makes hand sanitizer. I can’t remember the measurements but a bleach water solution in a little short bottle may help disinfect

Answer

Do you have multipurpose cleaner? You could take normal baby wipes (or even damp paper towels) with a little cleaner on them and use that to wipe down carts and other objects.

Answer

Do you have grocery pick up available where you live? It’s a life saver and keeps you from having to go inside the store at all!

Answer

I just throw a blanket over the cart if nothing there to clean it and then wash the blanket . 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Try less popular stores or even gas stations sometimes have areas with hand sanitizers and small packs of wipes. Dollar Tree or small chain grocery stores instead of large places like Costco or Sams

Answer

Use alcohol swabs if those are still available.  Otherwise, maybe there a few bottles of vodka still on the shelves.

Answer

Do you have a bath and body works near you? They sell the little purse size hand sanitizers. May have a fruity smell with glitter but at least it might be more available 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I’ve heard that diy hand sanitizer usually isn’t effective because it’s har Sri make it properly. I’ve never done it so I can’t speak on that, just thought I would mention it. 
I wonder if like bath and body works still has hand sanitizer? More expensive but 🤷🏻‍♀️
