How to Make Hand-Sanitizer Spray
- 1). Measure 1 cup grain or isopropyl alcohol into a clean spray bottle. Either form of alcohol is acceptable as long as it meets the 60 to 95 percent alcohol requirement, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- 2). Add 1/2 cup aloe vera gel and 1/4 cup distilled water. The ancient Egyptians used aloe vera as a healing plant, and the sticky sap from its leaves acts as a moisturizing agent.
- 3). Add 5 drops tea tree oil. Attach sprayer and shake to mix ingredients. Tea tree oil acts as a natural antibacterial agent. You also may add a few drops of fragrance oil if you do not like the strong smell of tea tree.
- 4). Spray on hands and rub together until dry. Wash hands with soap and water prior to using hand-sanitizer spray. Hand-sanitizer spray is not a replacement for proper hand washing practices. Washing with soap and water cleans the hands while the hand-sanitizer spray disinfects to inhibit the spread of germs.
