How to Make Homemade Sanitizer Wipes

How to Make Sanitizer Wipes
Visit our website for the how-to video!

A handy trick we’ve just learned is to take some hand sanitizer and create your very own DIY sanitizer wipes in just a few short steps! With Coronavirus (Covid-19) and quarantine/stay-at-home measures in place, it’s essential to sanitize your workspaces and homes.

We have been getting MANY calls from customers asking if our Purifize Hand Cleaner can disinfect surfaces. The short answer is absolutely YES. Because Purifize is 70% alcohol, it exceeds CDC minimum standards. You can certainly pour a bunch in your hands and then wipe it on whatever you want to sanitize – but that’s kinda weird isn’t it?

Here’s how to make your own wipes (Watch the How-To Video on Our Site):

  1. Cut paper towel roll to size for storing in a resealable container. Maybe you have an old container for sanitizer wipes that ran out – or you could use a big Ziplock bag.
  2. Put inside the container and pour enough Purifize to saturate the paper towels inside. Purifize isn’t as thick as some other goopy hand sanitizers like Purell, so it works a little easier to pour in.
  3. Keep sealed up until ready to use.

Use these wipes for those infrequent trips to the store (wipe down cart handles) gas pump handles, and doorknobs. Keep some in the glovebox or on your desk to remind you to keep clean!

Used in combination with frequent hand-washing with good quality soap, proper filtration masks, and social distancing – you’ll stay as safe as you can be.

Now we want to point out that due to its high alcohol content, it can be used safely on glass and plastic surfaces. We do not recommend it be used on wood as the alcohol disinfectant might strip the wood surface and polish (you can always test a small portion first and see how it goes from there).

Thanks again to our customers for such positive feedback in these trying times right now. We’re happy to be able to supply not only our customers, but first responders, hospitals, and other friends and families that need it.

We’re all in this together, – so hang in there!

The secret is in the leverage, so no need to wait for someone else to give you a hand when all you need is good ol’ fashioned physics.  Lift up to 2600 pounds using the miniature hand jack, then slip the furniture sliders underneath each corner of the item you want to move. Then just give the sofa, fridge, wardrobe, or other furniture a little push and watch it roll away. Whether you’re rearranging the room for some feng shui, or tidying up seldom-cleaned areas in your home – you’ll love using these!

Lizard Cam by Atomic Beam – This amazing camera has the unique ability to probe areas invisible to the naked eye. It features a live-feed camera at the end of a flexible, 4ft. cord that streams footage directly to the handle-mounted LCD screen. This allows you to see deep into drains, behind heavy furniture, inside walls, beneath doors and more! There’s even an LED light circling the camera lens facing out so it illuminates what the camera sees.

Important Tips For Working From Home

homeworkSince the coronavirus outbreak, working from home has become the norm for some. It can also be quite a challenge if you haven’t done it before. It can be tough to stay focused with all of the distractions of home right around you, plus feeling disconnected can get to you, too.

At the time of writing this we still have people coming into the office but we have deemed that “At-Risk” employees should be working from home.

Here are a few things you can do to try to effectively work from home.

1. Ditch The PJs – First, get changed out of your pajamas every morning. It’ll help get you in the right headspace for work and allow you to take video calls on the fly.

2. Workspace(s) – Pick one or more dedicated workspaces, ideally with a decent chair that will support your back.

3. Mornings – Wake up more than five minutes before your workday starts. You need time to prepare for the day, both mentally and physically.

4. Shoes – Sounds strange, but try wearing shoes, because let’s be real: You probably wouldn’t be chilling barefoot in an office.

5. Music/TV Softly – Listen to music or put the TV on quietly, since working from home can sometimes be a little too quiet, which makes it difficult to focus.

6. Lunch Breaks – Take a lunch break like you would normally do at work.

7. Regular Breaks – Take breaks so you don’t burn out. Stand up and stretch your legs!

8. Socialize – Be sure to socialize after work, even if it’s just a video call, to keep the loneliness at bay.

9. Household Chores a No-No – Don’t do household chores randomly throughout the day, since it can get distracting. Instead, schedule a specific time for them.

10. “I’m Working!” – Make sure the people you live with understand you’re working and to keep quiet when you’re on the phone.

11. Headphones – Use headphones and mute your microphone during conference calls (unless you’re speaking) to minimize the amount of audio feedback and times that random sounds interrupt the conversation.

12. Team Contact – Be in regular contact with your team, in part to make sure that you’re actually working from home.

13. Fresh Air – Go outside! Even if it’s just a quick walk or stretch, the fresh air will do wonders.

14. Stay Active – Finally, stay active. If you can’t go to an fitness class or to the gym, there are plenty of effective workouts you can do at home. YouTube them.

How We Are Dealing With The Coronavirus

coronavirus

We think of PulseTV as more than an e-commerce company, we are a family. Many of our employees have been with us since we started over twenty years ago. We are taking precautions as a company and wanted to share with you what we are doing.

First, we are communicating every day about washing hands for 20 seconds or more. Throughout the office we have hand sanitizers strategically placed. In addition, we have handed out products from our stock that is geared to kill most viruses. This includes disinfectants like Miracle Clean Spray Pens.** This allows everyone to spray and then wipe their desks and work areas.

What is necessary is diligence and introducing new habits. Stop touching one’s face is a critical habit to break. And one of the most important things to do at work, and home, is to keep your phone clean. We handed out our Anti-Viral and Anti-Bacterial Disinfectant Foam by Zagg ** so that people could clean computers, laptops, phones, etc.

For our warehouse, vinyl gloves have been distributed. But don’t worry, the Coronavirus cannot live on surfaces more than 14 days and all products are essentially quarantined for 4 weeks to make sure they are safe for the thousands of PulseTV customers. We’ve also made the 50 Pairs of Disposable Vinyl Gloves** available to PulseTV customers.

And with Coronavirus, and flu season still here, hand sanitizer has disappeared from store shelves. Don’t drive from store to store searching for it – Just Order It! PulseTV has partnered with an industrial manufacturer to bring this maximum strength hand and surface cleaner to as many people possible. The Purifize 8 oz Hand Cleaner** exceeds CDC recommendations for cleaning and sanitizing. Purifize contains 70% alcohol to disinfect and kill more than 99.99% of all germs, viruses and bacteria, not only on your hands but surfaces as well.

And it’s not just hand sanitizer that’s in short supply. Masks, hand sanitizers, disinfectants and more have all become rare commodities. Please follow these tips if you find PulseTV is out of stock or you cannot find necessary products to keep you safe:

1) Stock up on Vitamin C and Vitamin D
2) If disinfectant wipes are not available, you can put vodka on a paper towel or rag and wipe surfaces. Rubbing alcohol as well will work, but that is in short supply.
3) Mix vinegar and lemon juice and put on a rag. Sprinkle table salt and this becomes a great cleanser. Make sure you wipe off the surface to dry.
4) Even if there are no “N-95” masks, use any mask to wear that will keep you from touching your face, even if it does not filter the virus itself.
5) Stay home if you have a cough. Be vigilant to not infect others too.
6) Avoid shaking hands for the next 3 or 4 months. Consider fist bumps.
7) Avoid public gatherings whenever possible.

In the end, it is better to be safe than sorry. We hope this blog post helps.
