If you are interested in making hand sanitizer at home, their are several websites offering recipes and tips and tricks. Some work, and some do not. We have tested out several of these locally and can provide some guidance on the best.

Another helpful tip is to make sure that you are cleaning your cell phone off. Think of it like this, you are going to use your phone at the store. You need to make sure those germs are not on it. Madison County has these tips:

Consider using an 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe (or alcohol-based hand sanitizer) or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes by gently wiping the exterior surfaces of your phone. Don’t use bleach. Avoid getting moisture in any openings, and don’t submerge in any cleaning agents.
