Recipe for germ killing hand wipe solution?

[staceyshoe]

Ok. So I had no idea what to title this thread. I would like to make something similar to wipe solution but specificly for ds's hands. It's so hard to hold him and wash his hands at the sink. I'd like to sanitize his hands after he plays with other kids' toys so he doesn't catch any germs they might have (we've gotten colds from other kids way too often already!). Also for cleaning and sanitizing his hands after getting into something like the dog's bowl (the no-no that's #1 temptation). If I could squirt a cloth wipe, wipe his hands, and throw the wipe in the pail, it would be so so great! Any ideas?

HI
Here is what I do. IN a base of aloe vera gel I add Tea Tree oil, Lavender oil, a little alcohol and glycerin, shake in a squeeze bottle. Jsut like the stuff they sell that is full of chemicals...

You don't even need the alcohol, really - both lavender and tea tree are antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal...

Just wanted to second this. I would keep the solution as simple as possible-aloe, tto and lavender. We have quite a few bottles of this solution around our house and in the cars. I have even made a mild one for a diaper wipe solution.

That is really good information!
