THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERCLEAR® HANDSANITIZER
Everclear is a cereal alcohol that is one of the strongest that you can get. You can find Everclear in a liquor store with 75.5% alcohol or 151 proof.
The CDC says that alcohol in hand sanitizers must be 70% or more. So is this qualified?
The recipe is one part alcohol to two parts aloe gel.
Technically speaking, the production of hand disinfectants from grain alcohol works.
However, there are more than a few catches.
First you have to do the recipe exactly right. If you don't, it may not work. Or the alcohol could be too strong and burn your skin or hurt you. Dressing children could be dangerous. If it is not perfectly mixed, you may be at risk if it does not work against the virus.
Everclear and other high-proof liquids are also flammable. So if exposed to a flame or source of heat, they can burn or possibly even explode. It is also far more expensive than real hand sanitizer.
That's why experts say you shouldn't bother making your own.
They say just washing your hands with soap and water is cheaper, safer, and ultimately more effective.
To stop the spread of the coronavirus, wash your hands. If you don't have the hand sanitizer on your hands everywhere, it won't work. That endangers you and everyone around you.
Thank you for talking dirty to the Queen of Clean!
