Thanks everyone for your answers. I thankfully have 70% alcohol and witch Hazel at home because you can’t buy it anymore. So I now can make enough for my family. Good luck everyone and stay healthy!
Hi Evelyn, all you need is rubbing alcohol (99 percent alcohol volume) aloe vera gel and an essential oil. Lavender, eucalyptus and tea tree oil are both good choices. Mix 1 part aloe vera and 3 parts rubbing alcohol and then add a few drops of your essential oil of choice. If you prefer your hand sanitizer thicker you can add more aloe vera gel.
Hi Evelyne - The CDC recommends alcohol in hand sanitizer, however it's not always appropriate for some folks. This one is made without alcohol if that is an option for you. It's super easy and takes approximately 30 seconds to make. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
Be aware that sometimes local more rural stores like Family Dollar or Dollar General - to my surprise-do have some shelf supply of antibacterial soap and sanitizers. Going to the larger big box stores everything on the shelves was completely wiped out.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

Hopefully you can obtain the supplies easily. The shelves are bare where I live.
Mix 1/3 cup aloe vera gel & 2/3 cup isopropyl alcohol together and you have what you need.
