Sanitation Supplies

We understand that it can be quite challenging to acquire the appropriate sanitisation supplies required to keep homes clean and people protected from the virus. Here are a few options:
  •  We suggest reaching out to your community and seeing if anyone has supply’s they can spare.
  • Make your own hand-sanitiser, or disinfectant. We suggest searching online for “natural disinfectants”, or “natural hand-sanitiser” to find recipes.
  • Look into local distilleries who are making hand-sanitisers, or make your own. This hand-sanitiser recipe is simple and odourless vodka makes a good rubbing alcohol substitute.
