Skin Sanitizer

Skin Sanitizer

Make up a 5 to 10% solution of food grade alcohol. Food
grade alcohols are grain (ethyl) alcohol or vodka. Find a suitable
dispenser bottle. Mark it with a pen at about one tenth of the
way up from the bottom. Pour 95% grain alcohol (190 proof) to
this mark (for 50% grain alcohol or vodka make your mark one
fifth of the way up). Add water to the top. Keep shut. You may
add a chip of lemon peel for fragrance.
Use this for general sanitizing purposes: bathroom fixtures,
knobs, handles, canes, walkers, and for personal cleanliness (but
use chlorine bleach for the toilet bowl once a week). Always
clean up after a bowel movement with wet toilet paper. This is
not clean enough, though. Follow with a stronger damp paper
towel. This is still not clean enough; use a final damp paper
towel with skin sanitizer added. After washing hands, sanitize
them too, pouring a bit on one palm and put finger tips of the

other hand in it, scratch to get under nails, repeat on other hand.
Rinse with water.
Do not use this recipe, nor keep any bottles of alcohol in the
house of a recovering alcoholic.
