The panic caused by the coronavirus caused hand disinfectants to disappear from pharmacy and shop shelves in a flash. However, it is possible to make such a disinfectant product yourself.

There are many recipes on the Internet for making hand disinfectant yourself. Here are some of them.

  1. Antibacterial gel

To prepare the gel we will need:

  • 95% spirit,
  • aloe vera juice or gel,
  • essential oil,
  • optional: vitamins A + E in capsule and/or glycerine.
  1. Spirit-based lotion

To obtain one litre of liquid you need:

  • 833 ml of 96% alcohol,
  • 110 ml distilled or boiled water,
  • 42 ml of hydrogen peroxide 3%,
  • 15 ml of 98% glycerine.

Pour all ingredients into a glass or plastic bottle. Screw it on tightly to prevent the alcohol from evaporating. Then stir gently and set aside for three days.

  1. Salicylic spirit-based mixture

Products needed to make the liquid:

  • 150 ml salicylic spirit,
  • 10 drops of oil with disinfectant properties (e.g. lemon, thyme, juniper),
  • 10 drops of aloe vera extract.
  1. Simple disinfectant
  • 200 ml aloe vera gel,
  • 2 tablespoons of spirit or amol,
  • teaspoon of moisturising glycerine,
  • 30 drops of lavender oil (anti-inflammatory effect),
  • 5 drops of vitamin E (it is a strong antioxidant and can be used to fix the consistency of the other ingredients).
  1. Disinfectant fluid
  • ethyl alcohol or isopropanol,
  • glycerine,
  • distilled water.

Pour 8.3 litres of ethanol or 7.5 litres of isopropanol into a 10-litre jug. Then add to this 417 ml of three per cent hydrogen peroxide and 145 ml of glycerine. The container is topped up with distilled water.

  1. Disinfectant fluid (WHO formulation)
