In a Facebook post, PM Lee commended the group and wrote,

This kampung spirit and unity is what makes us Singaporean. I am sure there are many more heartwarming instances going on quietly.

Great work, ladies.

DIY hand sanitisers ingredients

The folks at Teck Ghee Parkview shared the ingredients for creating DIY hand sanitisers:

• 2-ounce spray bottle
• 5 drops vitamin E oil (optional, this makes for soft hands!)
• 5 drops lemon essential oil
• 2 tablespoons witch hazel with aloe vera or vodka
• 5 drops orange essential oil
• 5 drops tea tree essential oil
• Distilled (or at least filtered, boiled, and cooled) water
• Printable label PDF
• Label sheet, printer, and scissors

You can then mix them up and you have your very own disinfectant.

Use hand sanitisers with 60% alcohol

We applaud the super mums efforts to keep the kampung spirit alive. However, doctors advise purchasing a proper sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol content.

Note that washing your hands with soap and water is still the most effective way to protect yourself from the virus. While using your own hand sanitiser is convenient, experts recommend using it when there are no restrooms near your immediate vicinity.

Make what you need

It’s nice to have a supply of homemade hand sanitisers in your home. You may buy the ingredients and make several bottles but only purchase ingredients and make enough for your family or local community.

Since everyone is in need of a disinfectant, we’re hoping that supplies will last till the end of the Covid-19 outbreak.
