As you all know, washing your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs. But, sometimes we don’t have access to soap and water and that’s when hand sanitizer comes in handy. Thieves Hand Sanitizer is a must have in our home!!! Have you tried it? We have also found this DIY recipe to be handy too. -Rebecca McClelland
