The missus couldn’t find any sanitiser anywhere, so she googled up how to make it on the Healthline site. She made a batch up yesterday. 3 ingredients, easy to make. There’s a comment on the site that states it will kill Coronavirus.

58, my daughters a Compounding pharmacist in Adelaide and has been flat out making sanitiser, yes 3 ingredients, Ethanol, Glyserol and hydrogen peroxide, 80% - 10% - 10% is the mix I think. Anything with over 60% alcohol/ethanol will do the job but the higher the better. BTW I think Listerine fits that profile .... so your hands will be clean and no plaque

Nope - definitely not.

Here it is, straight from the horses mouth (no pun intended):

No. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (link is external) recommends the use of a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol in order to protect yourself. Only some LISTERINE® mouthwash formulations contain alcohol, and if present is only around 20% alcohol. LISTERINE® mouthwash is not intended to be used, nor would it be beneficial as a hand sanitizer or surface disinfectant.

The stuff my mrs makes is based on rubbing alcohol which has 70%. Once the world has beaten this thing, it should make a good base for a cocktail.
