Hand sanitizer continues to leave the store shelves very quickly. My sister-in-law cares for her special needs young adult. Due to the high rate of infection, she furloughed her home health nurses. She had to be creative and made her own sanitizer wipes and spray with a fifth of EverClear alcohol. It has the highest level of alcohol available. Super 1 carries the alcohol.
After reading your post, I began searching for EverClear, which I’d never heard of until your post. In Florida, the 151 proof is legal, which is 75.5% ethyl alcohol. The stronger 190 proof version isn’t available here. I found a local liquor store that had the 151 proof in stock, and I had 2 fifths delivered. I was using 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol to wipe things down, especially bags and grocery packages, but my bottle was getting close to empty. Now I’ll use undiluted EverClear... I see that there are people who drink it, but I’d probably make myself sick if I did. So, thanks for sharing your sister-in-law’s idea....
