[Senor Schmutzig]

# of publically available hand sanitizer bottles I saw on the walk from the bathroom back to my office:  Five

Distance from Bathroom to Office: 100 yards

Hand Sanitizer to Distance Ratio (based on every 100 yards) : 5:1

1. Small Purell hand sanitizer bottle on the sink in the bathroom
2. One auto-dispensing Purell hand sanitizer stand outside the bathroom
3. One industrial size bottle of hand sanitizer with pump on the community work table within the marketing department
4. 2nd industrial size bottle of hand sanitizer with pump near the copy machine, no more than 20 yards from the previous bottle
5. Small Purell hand sanitizer bottle on my desk

Please share your HS2DR in your office so FBG's can start developing a cleanliness co-efficient, determine best practices as well as understand how doomed our economy is.

The more data you can share (% of alcohol in your hand sanitizer, relative humidity of your office, current temperature in your office, etc.), the more impactful this ratio is going to be when we share it in the Coronovirus thread. 

Thank you for you input.

My office is under strict self quarantine. 

I also work for myself, so its not that hard keep from touching the other employees...there are none.

This makes the sexual harassment lawsuit you talked about in the disney thread super weird.

My office (and any store I've been in) are wiped out of hand sanitizer.  My boss has half a bottle on his desk.  Thinking about how I can steal that liquid gold right now

My wife has looked in every grocery store and Walmart across three towns trying to stock up on this stuff, there's none anywhere.  She finally ran across three bottles of Purell on a random end cap in our local Walgreens and snatched them up. 

To answer the original question, there's one bottle between my office and the restroom, and it's on my desk.  It's been here for months, still half full, and I've thought about chaining it to the desk like the pens at the bank

I just installed 12 Purell auto dispensers in our library. 4 per floor almost exactly 50 feet apart.

At Kroger shopping on Sat and they had signs up saying there is a 3 item max per person for any sanitizing/antibacterial product  .

Got one on my desk. Use it to clean the screens on my phones.

timely.  just heard a doctor lady on NPR talking about hand sanitizer having an expiration date "so, don't rush out and buy 100 bottles of them"



did a quick check of my mini-Purell bottle.... expired 2016

can often be used as yogurt at that point

My office now has tripled the number of soap dispensers and has Purell in every common area. 

Also, and while this may seem obvious I can assure you that in a law firm where money is made by attorneys in their offices billing it's not, we are under strict instruction to not come in to the office if we are sick and accomodations will be made without question or consequence. We are, of course, encouraged to bring what's necessary at home every night now to work from home should one fall ill.

Funny that eBay was in the news for "banning" listings of hand sanitizer a few days ago, with fears of price gouging. Meanwhile, a quick search for hand sanitizer shows over 1300 active listings  (including some sponsored ones) and a ton of sales over the last few days.

My wife found someplace online that was an industrial supply company and bought a huge amount of hand sanitizer. It hasn't been delivered yet, but by the sounds of it it like the size of a keg of beer. It's supposedly extra heavy duty, uncut, and not scented. (I believe it is intended to be sold to be mixed with something else and may be intended to be broken down and added to dispensers.) I am a little afraid what it will smell like and if it will take the skin off our hands. I probably don't want to know what it cost either.

Cut it with something and sell it on the street like meth. I think aloe is good.

Hand sanitizer in US 2020 = Tulip bulbs in Amsterdam 1600s?

I believe you can make this stuff pretty easily. YouTube it.

I could see flipping dollar store versions for 5 bucks a pop.  Sort of like bottles of water in hurricane areas.

 alcohol and aloe.  It's like someone googling how to make honey butter.

 

[belljr]

Not sure we have any

Google a certain former HQ host, first name Matt, last name Richards. He was making his own and selling it. NSFW but pretty f$*%&$@ funny.

I work retail and we got a strict 5 bleach per customer and 3 Hand sanitizers per customer (Can't separate orders to buy more) We're out of stock of all hand wipes rubbing alcohol etc. We've been out since Early Saturday

Ouch. That's an immense office area.

Good. PO'd at the people that did this.

It's not hard at all. However, homebrew comes out kind of watery. It still works fine, but you have to get used to not being able to squeeze it on your hands like a gel. What you do is squeeze out several drops (you'll need a bit more than you think) on your palms and fingers (don't apply all to one spot - evaporates too quick to get a good "spread" if you do that). Keep adding more if you miss spots on your hands.

Some people also put the homebrew in little travel-size spray bottles. That probably makes it easier to apply.

I don’t get stocking up on a bunch of this stuff - if you are stuck at home can’t you just use hand soap?  :shuked:

Plus, a few regular-size bottles (roughly 8-10 ounces or so) will last four people months, at least 2 months for sure. No one needs to buy dozens of bottles.
