DIY Disinfectant and Cloth Mask
/One of the most common questions we have received is what to do if you don't have access to masks or disinfectant wipes. Because of this, we would like to provide some tips to help you make at home cleaners and face masks.
Making your own disinfecting wipes and cleaner
1 cup water
¼ cup rubbing alcohol
1 tsp Dawn dish soap
2 Tbsp ammonia (optional)
1 Paper Towel Roll cut in half
2 cups water
1 cup isopropyl alcohol at least 70-91% concentration
1 Tbsp Dawn dish soap
3 drops Tea tree oil (optional)
1 Paper Towel Roll cut in half
For both cleaners you will soak the half paper towel roll in solution.
This one is easy! You will need hydrogen peroxide and a spray bottle. That's it.
Pour the hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle, then spray down the hard surfaces and allow the spray to sit for about 5 minutes. Wipe clean.
Making your own cloth masks
The CDC and WellcomeMD recommend using cloth masks in public to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. This is because N95 masks are needed for healthcare workers who are helping fight COVID-19 and because these masks are considered single-use. Cloth masks can be washed and used again.
It's possible to make a DIY cloth mask with a bandana and either two rubber bands or hair ties. No sewing required! For detailed instructions, please watch this video.
