Making your own antiseptic wipes
 
There are lots helpful methods of making your anti-septic wipes & sprays
One is very easy
1) cut a roll of paper towels in half
2) mix two cups of water with one TBS of bleach (for each paper towel half)
3)put the paper towels in a water proof container
4)pour mixture slowly over the towels
5)pull out the center card boat--youre good to go
6) seal the container

Lots more out there

put the same ratio of water & bleach in a spray bottle-you have your own antiseptic spray

1. Acquire a roll of paper towels.
2. acquire some bleach.

then follow the instructions. Paper towels are becoming more available again - but bleach is still hard to get unless you happen to be one of the lucky customers when the store opens in the morning.

Due to circumstances beyond our control we were late to the party and missed out on the panic grab for hand sanitizer and wipes. Luckily had some baby wipes and rubbing alcohol so make my own and carry them with me in a Ziplock bag.

You can probably find pet wipes as well, at the pet stores. Baby wipes are just as hard to find in stores as "Wet Ones" hand wipes.

Two weeks ago, my husband brought home Wet Ones antibacterial wipes. The packaging does not say it kills viruses. I can only assume these wipes kill bacteria and are not effective for viruses. Oh well.

Beware of mixing bleach with other chemicals.

Also if you don't have gloves, do NOT use wipes with bleach in them. Bleach + skin = bad.
