10 liters of disinfectant at home for a few dollars
The recipe is as follows:
buy laundry bleach with 5% chlorine content;
diluting 1 liter of such bleach with 9 liters of water will get 10 liters of disinfectant.
The cost will not exceed $ 2.

Quick gel recipe
Isopropyl alcohol
Aloe vera gel
Tea tree oil
To make the product, mix isopropyl alcohol with aloe vera gel in a ratio of 3: 1 and add a few drops of tea tree oil to the mixture, which will give the product a pleasant smell.
Spray disinfectant
Although aloe vera gel does its job well, it makes the hands annoyingly sticky, so here's a recipe that will not make your hands so sticky and will be even more effective.
Isopropyl alcohol
Glycerin
Hydrogen peroxide
Distilled water
Spray bottle
Mix 1 ⅔ cups of alcohol with 2 teaspoons of glycerin, which can also be purchased online. Glycerin is an important ingredient because it prevents alcohol from making the skin dry. Then add one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide to the mixture and a quarter cup of distilled or boiled and cooled water. Fill the resulting mixture into a spray bottle and - ready. A very important reminder is that, of course, these recommendations do not apply to oral use in any way.
