Here's a tip. If it runs out in your squeezy thingy, just put in say 1/3 shower gel, dilute it with water, and give it all a good shake.
Bobs your auntie (or other non cisgender modern term..).
The antibacterial stuff in the fancy dispensing soap bottles was for kiling bacteria not viruses anyway.
Soap and water is the thing. One bottle of shower gel will give you like .. 6 refills or something.

My understanding is that anti-bacterial sanitiser will kill the virus if it has alcohol in it.
As you say, soap and water is better although this washes the virus off your hands rather than killing it. |

Apparently the virus is not just cleaned off by soap, it's got a fatty outer coating and the soap as you'd expect messes with that anyway.
Reading further .. sanitiser is for when soap and water aren't available and soap is preffered by medics anyway? https://www.allure.com/story/hand-sanitizer-vs-washing-soap-water One passing thought is (I hadn't realised this until I read it yesterday) it's not just "coughed" up, it's passed like other diseases via "arse debris" as well. So if you live with other people I'd be considering changing hand towels frequently or having separate if someone might be infected. ... When I was a student I think we had one hand towel that wasn't washed all year. I think anyone using it would have had dirtier more infected hands than if they'd not washed their hands in the first place. It was eventually humanely destroyed  .. Actually now I think about it, I had the worst food poisoning I've ever had in that flat. Genuine "halucinating fever" stuff, I maybe should've went to a doctor thinking back. |

Been doing that for the last week. Now you've given the game away there will be a shortage of shower gel.

There is a shortage of shower gel! (Well, there is in my local Sainsbury's.)

Yea I suppose I'm misusing the term, I more meant the squeezy pumpy soap thing most people (well I do anyway) in the bathroom that often loudly declares that it is "antibacterial" and so on. I wasn't meaning the little bottles people carry around with them. (Not used normal soap for years).
I actually do have one of those little bottles for hiking though. Probably worth double what I payed for it. I'll stockpile it next to my 2 tins of beans and lentil soup. |

Fairy liquid will do the same thing. May give you eczema, but take your pick.
