Quick drying isn't necessarily a good thing, you need to meet certain contact times for a hand gel to actually be effective.
I've got a heap of these and they're absolutely fine. Unless you're a snowflake ❄
I got 2 recently for $2/each. They're fine. Not the best I've used but does the job, not as bad as people make it out to be.
At $1 it's a steal.
Sounds like it would be good for massage?
Isn't a massage meant to be a little dirty?
oomph
…There it is!
I use to misinterpret it as whoop that ass 😂😂😂
Scotts is great, $2 for 1L (which is the same price per L as this deal): https://www.bunnings.com.au/scotts-1l-hand-sanitiser_p018894…
This also smells like crap! I think they use them at Coles. Argh!
They do, smells rank
i dont care the smell as long as ethanol is within this range ≥60 - ≤75% (w/w), however, Scotts Hand Sanitiser only got >50% ethanol, my understanding is that 60% to 80% is recommended for protection from Covid-19!

Ethanol: 80%
IPA: 75%

From memory 60% is minimum required for bacteria.
So when I looked into it they claim that the total alcohol content is over 70%
Found this in one of the reviews on the bunnings website from the link above by miccas

The link you gave for the SDS seems to be for the 5L version (which one link claims is at least 60%) I assume the 50% is because its a w/w% instead of a v/v% ( I didn't do the maths to check). Some of the SDS are really broad nowdays, even the the total mass doesn't make sense (>50% + 30-60%) = >80-110% w/w)
Ooof
You wouldnt buy this stuff to use for yourself lol
Just like people shit talking the Stanley screwdriver case I don't get this fuss over the smell. Smells like normal alcoholy hand sanitizer to me. It's not perfume but it's nothing unpleasant either.
Reminds me of my uni days and vodka.
Why are people shit talking the stanley case?
remember when hand sanitiser was pushing $10 for a small bottle during the height of the pandemic panic buying last year?
…good times
Stock up now for next pandemic. Maybe mers-22.
mers-22.
Will never be called MERS…
Yeah, I carry a small bottle of it in my car always and it was super annoying having to pay $12 for a new bottle at some boutique chemist as everywhere else had sold out from panic buyers.
The MSDS for this product listed alcohol content as “>50%(weight). My understanding is that 60% to 80% is recommended for protection from Covid-19

Thanks, I won't bother
I think the latter about COVID is typically quoted by volume, not weight.
50% weight roughly is 60% volume.
That's still a bit under but if 50% is like the worst case variation during manufacturing it'll be usually close enough.
Multiply by 1.25 to convert abw into abv.
price gougers @ $6.95
$1 is what it's worth
Cheap grog
Methylated spirits is still THE OzBargain drink!
Just mix it with cordial and you’re good to go! 👌
Just in case any 13 year olds reading are as stupid as I was at that age, this is just a joke, meth spirits can cause damage to the optic nerve and may cause permanent blindness
Shhhh, let Darwin do its job.
It only causes damage because Darwin Award Nominees are not smart enough to dilute it properly! It is just massive alcohol content that causes this, no different than drinking 2L of vodka straight and then blaming the alcohol industry for dying.
If you mix 50mL of methos with 1L of orange juice, you basically have an orange alcohol drink with only 4.8% alcohol content (implying 100% alcohol content in methos, as it states it has a minimum of 95% alcohol content). Basically just a strong beer or a vodka cruiser.
Source: just trust me bro
There's no methanol in methylated spirits anymore sold in Australia. It only contains ethanol and obviously a bittering agent to make it undrinkable.
Need at least 75% to kill the covid.
Are these the same Bunnings keep on their entrance? If yes then they are sticky and smells a bit weird, but hey it's for a dollar just use in emergency!
NICE DEAL!
I paid $6.95 for this on Monday. $1 would be great…
How is this better than actual soap? Too lazy to dry hands? I see this everywhere now for what? Soap is better.
It's not really different. It's just that if you do certain types of jobs, etc it's a lot more convenient than soap+water.
Cheap crap and takes ages to dry when you apply it. Stays sticky for ages. No thanks.
