I quit purchasing traditional hand sanitizers years ago since those can kill the good bacteria that act as a first line of defense for our bodies. We need all the help we can get.

How and When to use On Guard Hand Sanitizer Spray

I always keep several of these DIY On Guard Hand Sanitizer Sprays handy all the time. Here’s several suggestions for ways to use these:

• I have 2 or 3 in the console of my car to spray hands when getting back in the car,
• several in my purse to use on hands, menus, shopping carts, etc.
• One in each bathroom to spray toilet handles and seats
• In the kitchen to spray off grocery packaging
• and in my kid’s lunchboxes. ( I like to think they use them, but I’m pretty sure my 13 year old is way too cool to do that.)

We use the On Guard Sanitizer Spray on EVERYTHING. Anything that is a high touch surface. When you are out and about, think about how many hands have touched a surface before you.

These surfaces can include:

• Tables at restaurants (have you ever thought about how they use the same cloth to wipe multiple tables?)
• Door handles
• menus
• shopping cart handles
• my purse handles
• my phone
• my hands and my kid’s hands after touching literally ANYTHING
• in my kid’s lunchboxes so they can spray their hands before eating. (I know at least one of them uses it)
• and any other “high touch” surface like doorknobs, toilets, faucets.

Supplies to Make Your DIY On Guard Hand Sanitizer Spray

1. Spray Bottles for your DIY On Guard Hand Sanitizer Spray

Grab this pack of 8 spray bottles from Amazon that even comes with funnels.

Since you’ll have 8 spray bottles, mix up several of these Hand Santizers and leave one in each of these locations where you’re likely to want one:

• each bathroom
• in the kitchen
• one to leave in the car
• in your purse
• in your kid’s lunchboxes

You can also use these for room sprays, sleep sprays, and body sprays.

2. Isopropyl Alcohol in your On Guard Hand Sanitizer

I’ve been making this exact recipe for years. I don’t typically add the alcohol, but desperate times call for desperate measures when we’re in a global pandemic.

Please note that doTERRA uses a plant based ethyl alcohol in their On Guard Hand Spray recipe – not isopropyl alcohol.

I found this Medical Grade Isopropyl Alcohol that is safe for hands and skin. Check to see if it is currently in stock

If you can’t find Isopropyl Alcohol, I’ve heard you can use Everclear because it has a high enough alcohol content, but I have no scientific backing for that. Use at your own discretion. Many people have been resorting to vodka, but it does not have a high enough alcohol content to effectively kill viruses.

3. Carrier Oil for your DIY On Guard Hand Sanitizer Spray

Some people like to use Carrier Oil in this recipe. I really feel like it’s a personal preference. Personally – I use plain old water when I make these On Guard Sanitizers.

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying“oil and water don’t mix”, which is why many people prefer to use carrier oil in this recipe. The essential oils will bind to the carrier oil. But – I’ve foundwater works just fine as long as I give the bottle a little shake before spraying it.

I recommend making one each way and deciding for yourself which you prefer.
