I found hand sanitizer.

I found a lot of...I mean a LOT of pocket sanitizers. I am not trying to do a commercial but Bath and Body works has them. They were out of the big ones but I was happy to find the little ones. If I am home or at a friens place I just use soap and water but elsewhere I use the pocket ones. I try to use public restrooms as little as possible.

husband to take fishing, etc., so now that COVID is officially in FL I soaked paper towels in diluted alcohol and put them in a zip-lock for his truck. I'll try this formula when I get the gel, and thanks.

I wasn't even thinking of the little B+BW's ones, I probably have 20 of them all over the house and in my car.

I have some left, but wanted some for when I run out. I went ahead and grabbed two bottles of rubbing alcohol. It's 70% alcohol so it will be effective. My plan is to wet a small paper towel with it and wipe my hands well. There will be the added bonus of also being able to wipe the key fob and door handle.

I only use the sanitizer when I get in the car after running an errand. I use soap and water as the preferred method at home.
