Something I think I will add to my stores is a pump up garden sprayer and some spray able disinfectant. You have seen the videos of the Chinese and Koreans spraying everything. I might want to disinfect something large like maybe a car or a room or even a visiting MDS member.
What would be a good broad spectrum disinfectant that could be sprayed from a garden sprayer?

For the Dr.'s on here, what are the disinfectant wipes you use in the office? Comes in the white canisters with purple tops.
GermX is only 63% alcohol, and alcohol evaporates so I figure by now its below the magic 60% threshold. So consensus ( like MDS ever has a consensus on anything) is to chuck it? It also look like the level is about 1" below where it originally was.All drugs regulated by the FDA require expiration dates. These dates guarantee the effectiveness of the product. Once the expiration date has passed we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of Germ-X® Hand Sanitizer
I was going through some stuff in the basement and found a big pump bottle of GermX hand sanitizer that had got pushed to the back. Expiration date on it was 2011. GermX website says:

So I use hand sanitizer when camping for both starting fires and cleaning hands. Alcohol that’s at least 40% will burn. From what I’ve read (I’m not a doctor), you need at least 50% alcohol to act as a disinfectant.
I’d try burning a small amount and if it lights with a blue flame, I’d trust it.
Of course, if it’s unused/unopened you could probably sell it on eBay for $200.
Finished my panic-shopping today. There's cheese in the fridge, and the wine cellar is fully stocked (Ricardo was kind enough to deliver several cases of French provincials on a Sunday; he was tipped handsomely.)
Elkridge Costco is completely out of canned black beans.

Need to add some canned smoked oysters with those ritz crackers!

Last night I dehydrated seven of the big cans of chicken then vacuum sealed them in a quart jar with an oxygen absorber. Today I've canned six pounds of black beans and I canned two pints of blackberries in a homemade blackberry brandy syrup. The local hippie food store had bell peppers on sale so I'm about to start canning a bunch of them.
