These step-by-step instructions will show you How to Make Hand Sanitizer with only 3 ingredients that you may already have in your home! You can make your own hand sanitizer to use at home or take with you to help combat the flu, Coronavirus and other contagious illnesses.

With the threat of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the CDC is recommending that everyone wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water to help deter spreading of the virus. While washing your hands is definitely the best way to combat the spread of contagious illnesses, sometimes you just don’t have access to soap and running water. When soap and water are unavailable, using hand sanitizer to kill germs and bacteria is definitely encouraged. The problem right now is that most stores and pharmacies are completely sold out of hand sanitizer and are quickly becoming sold out of hand soap as well. The good news is, you can make your own of both!
