Could you tell me how long did it take to arrive and who was the courier?Ordered some last weekend to my Mums gaff but nothing yet.

I ordered and received on the 3rd world day after my order. But it was in stock when I ordered. It's preorder now. So I'd say you get it on the 3rd or 4th working day from date given by website. DPD delivery.

What harm. I'll use it when my Red Mills order is used up. We'll unfortunately need this for a while so won't goto waste.

I ordered on the 20th, it was shipped on 26th and is now stuck on a courier service somewhere. Got notification from Courier they are running behind schedule but unsure now with the lockdown if they are still delivering.

👍 It's cheap compared to others.

Managed to get a couple of bottles of isopropyl alcohol. Have mixed it at 2:1 with aloe vera gel and decanted into 50ml containers. The result is fairly similar to shop bought sanitizer, if slightly less viscous.

As has been said, many times, no substitute for hand washing with soap, but when out and about in the car, comes in very handy.

For anyone who purchased (and received) the Foran hand sanitiser from the red mills store, what volume was the bottle?

The hyperlink details that the bottle is 500ml, however the product description states it is 250ml...

When I first followed the link there was only 500ml available, which is what I got.

I since followed the link and they were only taking pre orders for 250ml, I ordered a couple of bottles for the mammy

They only sent me 2x250 bottles instead of 2x500. Your order details should say 2x500, I have e mailed them. This is a con.

Thanks for confirming - that is what I was wondering. Were the 500ml and 250 bottles priced the same? I have since ordered the GH sanitiser as I felt their price was reasonable and the ingredient concentrations were satisfactory.

It's wrongly advertised as 99.7% alc hand sanitizer.
99.7% alcohol is just one of the ingredients. So they mixed near pure alcohol with other stuff to make it. It doesn't state how potent the mix is.

Received first bottle of GH product today - 1 week ahead of schedule.

It is not as thick as the Red Mills supplied product - GH product possibly more suited for spray bottles.

SmallTeapot

I received the GH argri bottle on Friday. It is quite liquidy, so as mentioned above, is best suited to spray bottles.

For anyone who purchased and received the Handmade Soap Co and The foran (RedMills store) variations, what are the respective consistencies like? Are they a gel or liquid medium? And are they contained in a bottle which has a spout lid (in that you can easily squeeze it into your hands and evenly distribute it on the go) or did you have to decant the formulation into another bottle?

I’m looking for an option that I can bring with me in the car for when I go for a weekly food shop

Boots have them at "normal" prices. 1.5 euro for a small bottle, 5 euros for a large one.

I would be very sceptical buying this tbh.

The whole description carries a nice story, but other than that be aware and try to buy from reputable sources.

Not to mention the price.

I would rather not support this sort of business.

Hi, can you confirm what the alcohol percentage is in this stuff, can't find the detail online.

Make your own. Buy isopropyl alcohol and glycerol there is WHO guideline on how to mix it. If you want it as a gel get carbomer on ebay. 50g will be enough to make 5l of gel. Add some essential oil for scent.

GooglePlus

I got 4x500ml 70% alc gel on Carethy for just under 40e w) delivery.

I kept two and gave two to vulnerable family.

Bought loads of IPA on eBay for cleaning purposes, it's 99% alcohol, I'd be weary mixing it and putting it near my skin.

Would anyone be able to give an idea of what the Handmade Soap Co and The foran (RedMills store) variations are like? Are the gels or liquidy in consistency?

The red mills is like a gel.... you wouldn’t be able to spray it.

Both companies are gel rather than liquid. Redmills comes with a screw on lid. Handmade soap company has a pleasant smell and comes in a bottle with a screw on lid. The lid also tilts & you can squeeze it out. Like a shampoo bottle. Both good quality products but handmade soap company is slightly better as its scented and has a better bottle

I use the Red Mills product in car. Bottle cap is similar to a mayonnaise cap etc - turn bottle upside down and squeeze out what you need.

When I get around to using the GH product I'll try it in a liquid soap bottle. It is likely to be messier but better than having nothing.

That is exactly what is in your hand sanitizer. You just need to mix a little glycerol in it or aloe vera gel. Exactly the same stuff like you get in shops.

If anyone is still on the lookout for Hand sanitizer in a decent sized bottle, I ended up purchasing this Selden So Sterile 73% Alcohol Hand Sanitiser 500Ml from heavins (a Family run co-op/ hardware store based in Athlone).

I bought it online on Sunday night, received a notification last night that it has been dispatched.

SmallTeapot

Quick search of their website also shows that they stock a 250ml option produced by the White Hag brewing company

bump, just in case this got buried and people are looking for some

Dunnes are selling 100ml bottles of sanitiser for €5. McCabes pharmacy also have plenty, but smaller sizes and more expensive.

TheCostumeShop.ie: Ronan

The Problem with Hand Sanitser and the prices is that if its airfreighted in its a Hazard good. Hence why its so expensive these days compared to when it used to come in via Sea freight, as well as a world wide shortage on materials for masks and sanitiser.



If you by 10 bottles of 100ml, its 5.39 and also masks etc available with next day delivery:



https://www.themobilityshop.ie/daily-living-aids/daily-living-aids-en.html


Also be ware of where you buy masks, there are so so many fake masks going around in both shops and on the internet. Retailers and chancers trying to make a buck are assuming the masks are made correctly and so often people are wearing masks that don't help. The test is to run the mask under water and if the water penetrates them they are effectively useless.

Id be looking for 5 litres for 60 euro. 30 for a litre is OK. There's links on the thread for half a little for 15 euro. Prices must be coming down again. I see it back on shelves in pharmacy's

chickenlittle

Dingle Gin are selling 100ml bottles for €2.50. €6 for delivery. I just ordered 5 which is the max order. It’s 80% alcohol.

iamwhoiam

Is 60% alcohol enough or should I add a bit of of surgical spirits to it ?

Jeez lads how much are you using! I know all I need it for is the weekly shop but I just have one of those small bottles from Aldi and I still have two thirds left. Wash my hands properly otherwise. Is it at work the large quantities are needed, like Sleeper?
