According to The Verge on how to make hand sanitizer easily from home DIY-ers must be aware of these things before making the sanitizer:
- To be effective, it needs to have a strength of at least 60 percent alcohol.
Since you’re going to have to mix your sanitizer with aloe vera gel in order to stabilize it and protect your hands, most recipes suggest that the mixture contain at least two-thirds 99 percent isopropyl alcohol and one-third gel.
A 91 percent alcohol would work as well.
You can probably ignore the occasional suggestion to use vodka instead of isopropyl alcohol since many vodkas are only 40 percent alcohol.
- On the other hand, the ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol) in distilled beverages, such as vodka, is also effective.
In fact, it’s actually considered more effective against some types of infectious diseases than isopropyl alcohol.

In order to get the proper strength, you’d have to find alcohol that is 180 proof or higher.
- Sanitizer is only effective if you cover your hands thoroughly and then let them dry.
Squirting a few drops into your palms and then wiping your hands isn’t going to help at all.
- If your hands are heavily soiled or greasy, then, according to the CDC, sanitizer isn’t going to do much
