Colorado Bonsai – Hand Sanitizer For Bonsai
I use hand sanitizer on my hands to get sap off of them along with soapy water. I also use it to remove embedded sap/wood on my power tools wood bits. For a really good job soak your wood bits in hand sanitizer over night and they will be clean as a whistle. You can also soak a clogged wood bit in hand sanitizer while working on a tree with a clean wood bit. By the time the second wood bit is clogged up the first wood bit will be ready to re-use again after using a brass brush on it.
- You can also use hand sanitizer on your hands when out and about to help keep you safer.
- You can make your own hand sanitizer by following the instructions below.
What You Need:
- 2/3 cup Isopropyl alcohol 91% (rubbing alcohol)
- 1/3 cup aloe vera gel
- Essential oil in your choice of fragrance (optional)
- A bowl and spoon
- An empty container
Here’s How:
- Mix the aloe vera and Isopropyl alcohol together until well blended.
- Add 8-10 drops of essential oil to the mixture for fragrance (if desired), and stir well.
- Pour the finished hand sanitizer into an empty container and seal. Be sure to label your sanitizer, so everyone in your house will know what it is.
- Contains 65% Alcohol
Tips:
- Many essential oils like tea tree oil and lavender have antibacterial properties. Use one of these to boost the germ-zapping power of your hand sanitizer.
- Save the bottles from store-bought hand sanitizer, and refill them again and again, or buy a set of travel-size squeeze bottles to use for your homemade sanitizer.
- A little goes a long way with this recipe. Once applied, just rub your hands together until the moisture evaporates and the stickiness vanishes.
- Make up a bunch of bottles of homemade sanitizer, and give it as Bonsai gifts.
