It’s no secret that hand sanitizer was flying off store shelves when news of the Coronavirus hit. As the calendar turned to March, sales of hand sanitizer were up 313%. When stock began to run out across the country, some people opted to make their own homemade sanitizer. However, this isn’t a solid solution.
