    I haven't tasted enough of them yet to give an honest opinion

    Quite fond of the Handmade Soap Company’s sanitiser. It smells amazing.

    I tend to use oven cleaner, just to be safe, but then I discovered that Is basically what cartels use to dissolve corpses. No wonder my Jo Brands have been so chapped lately.

    The glove!

    The Queen of England won't touch one of her subjects without one, and I don't blame her!

    TerminB8 is very refreshing it has a lovely citrus scent.

    Hate most of the santiser in shops.
    Slimy and/or stinky.

    Can we please have unscented santiser with just alcohol, peroxide, glycerol and water in public places?
    If you expect people to use it, that is.

    I know one of the Dealz smells awful!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Isopropyl alcohol with some essential oils blended in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,437 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    Anything but the crap that most shops use, like snot in a bottle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,613 ✭✭✭✭smurfjed


    Have over 30 bottles of sanitiser, not a hoarder but I get a couple of bottles every day I work.

    Getting to the stage where my suitcase will need a dangerous goods sticker.

    Prosan, but it's expensive and difficult to get hold of. Sanity that Supervalu stock isn't bad for the price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,735 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Don't have a fav, but the perfumed ones are the work of the devil.

    Give us one not too thick with a nice clean alcoholly smell and we're good.

    Never mind the sanitizer, it's the hand cream that I have to use in industrial quantities to offset the drying effect of the constant handwashing and sanitizing that really matters.

    Nuxe, Aveeno or Palmers, ftw.

    Constant hand-washing has destroyed my hands to the point where it's probably too late for moisturising hand cream. Amputation might be a better idea. If Mother Teresa of Calcutta, may she rest in peace, had a scrotum, that's basically what my hands look like.

    The ones Tesco use are the opposite, they are way too liquid and you've to shake your hands to get it off

    It's never too late to moisturize!

    Get the Carex with the aloe vera. It's the biz.

    Caustic soda
    Good news. It won't dissolve your bones.

    Only the tissue around them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76,168 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    The cleaning company in work supplies one that doesn't smell of much (you can get the alcohol note briefly), dries off quickly and doesn't leave a residue. Can't remember the name now but I checked back in March/April and its only available commercially.

    90% of the ones out there are either stinky, sticky or both. Or take multiple minutes to dry.

    I use surgical spirits(95% alcohol) with like you some essential oils, mostly a hint of rosemary or frankincense mixed in. Dries near instantly and I found my skin is happy out with it. If anything my skin feels softer these days. Then again people's skin varies so much and my mix could leave others looking like they had rampant hand leprosy. Case in point the near pure alcohol is great, but a fair number of liquid soaps leave my skin irritated.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Was in a hotel in Waterford during the summer and the sanitizer smelt like tequilla, Jasus I felt like I should not have driven after putting it on my hands.

    Can't use pure alcohol as it evaporates too fast , there has to be enough contact time to do it's job.

    But yeah it shouldn't be sticky
