Amidst the current Coronavirus pandemic, many people throughout the world are taking steps to protect against infectious germs and bacteria.Wide-spread stockpiling提供的问题和供需问题留下了太多人，无需获得必要的预防资源，如手动消毒剂。

虽然根据需要频繁洗手很重要，但您可能并不总是可以进入水槽，肥皂或热水。而不是安排手工洗涤的一天，或者搜索最近药房的半空架子，尝试制作符合的DIY手动消毒剂the standards of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）。

Below are helpful tips and step-by-step instructions on how to make hand sanitizer using common household products.

1.从DIY手动消毒剂的合适成分开始。

学习如何制作手动消毒剂的过程很简单，因为只有两种成分对有效产品至关重要。

第一是aloe vera gel, which is a gelatinous substance that is taken from芦荟植物。虽然这种凝胶在杀死COVID不援助-19 virus, it does ensure that hands stay moisturized and healthy while using the solution.

The second ingredient isisopropyl alcohol酒精含量为99％。这种成分是最重要的，因为酒精是破坏包膜病毒的蛋白质的东西。请记住，这种成分不能是适合饮酒的酒精。

有些人选择包括的第三种成分是an essential oil。While not essential to hand sanitizer, it can mask the strong scent of alcohol. Whether or not youuse an essential oilfor added fragrance is completely up to you.

2. Save the home bar for drinking; it won’t work here.

大多数人都知道，为您需要饮酒的Covid-19病毒保护有效的手动消毒剂。然而，蒸馏酒柜中的蒸馏烈酒只是不起作用。威士忌，朗姆酒，甚至伏特加不会创造一个有用的洗手液，因为酒精含量太低。

像许多病毒一样，Covid-19病毒具有外包包装，称为“信封。” Studies indicate that enveloped viruses are susceptible to alcohol solutions with between 60 percent to 99 percent alcohol content. Popular whiskeys, rums, and vodkas generally have an alcohol content below 50 percent, meaning that when they are mixed into a hand sanitizer solution, or even on their own, they are simply not strong enough to kill an enveloped virus.

3.将一个分开的芦荟混合到两份异丙醇。

尽管只有两种或三种成分，这是可以导致成功的手动消毒剂的步骤（并避免做出太弱的解决方案，以便为皮肤处理的皮肤有效或太强）。注意衡量衡量，以确保手动洗脱液均足够足以杀死包膜病毒并安全足以用于皮肤。

以下配方具有近似酒精含量为61％的溶液，该溶液已经显示出比99％的醇溶液更快的病毒蛋白。然而，为了创建具有更高酒精含量的产品，只需减少芦荟凝胶到¼杯的量。

首先，测量⅓芦荟凝胶和99％的异丙醇的杯杯。
将两种物质添加到碗中，并将其混合在一起，直到它们充分混合。
To incorporate essential oils for aroma, add 3 to 5 drops to the solution and mix well.
Once the solution is mixed, pour the mixture into a clean, empty container, such as a travel shampoo bottle or a hand sanitizer bottle.
Allow the mixture to sit for at least 72 hours after completion to kill any bacteria that may have been introduced while making the hand sanitizer, perrecommendations from the World Health Organization。
