Thread: What Disinfectant For CV Explained.

Good advice. I would have thought you would have been aware of this as it was one of the first things they reported.

However, the single most effective solution (after isolation) is soap and water

Yep, the soap and water is the best and then if you cant get to a sink (eg, out an about, in the car etc) then use alcohol based sanitizers.

While the shops are charging $20 for a pump if you can even get it, you can make it really easily at home.

I've attached the World Health Organisations hand sanitizer forumla as recommended to me by the pharmacist.

I made a batch at it cost about $80 for 14.25 litres. It is watery though which is like sanitizers used in hospitals but unlike the stuff you buy in supermarkets.

12 litres of 95% metho spirits (Diggers brand from the supermarket, Bunnings, the paint shop etc - its Ethanol)
600ml Hydrogen peroxide 3% (Chemist)
200ml Glycerol (Chemist)
1.45 litres of sterile water (boiled and cooled)

I had no idea Tombie - not a big TV watcher and don't buy newspapers. Have happily been using the wrong disinfectant on car door handles etc, food packaging etc and some of our hand sanitizers are also the wrong type..

Try buying any sought of alcohol to make it at the moment - nil stock - good luck - I have tried and not found any stocks as the zombies have been there before me. We made our own using the last 200ml of isopropyl alcohol we had in the medicine chest and some aloe vera. Works well but will run out soon - we use it in the car and when we are out and use anti-bacterial soap handwash at home.

Tried to get metho on my last trip to town - nil stock anywhere!

Not using it here. Just soap.
I have a box of nitrile gloves in the LV for when our in that.

Glen 20 is getting a misting over shared objects regularly.

I’m pretty anti-social outside of work normally, so this is hardly changing my exposure.

Could not find soap either. Fortunately I have half a dozen cakes of it.
