Hand sanitizer

Make your own hand sanitiser at home with DYC vinegar!
Soap and water should be your first choice for sanitizing your hands. If this isnt available then sanitizing your hands with santizier is a good idea. Vinegar is very effective at killing bacteria and the flu virus – see link for independent research.  Like many other products no testing has been done on Covid-19 – see link to US infectious disease expert on effectiveness of cleaners on Covid-19. Many people prefer the smell of Apple Cider Vinegar, but you can use any DYC vinegar for this recipe. Feel free to add in a few drops of essential oil if you wish. For a thicker solution try mixing one part vinegar with two parts aloe vera gel. If irritation occurs stop using.
