As coronavirus spreads across the country hand wash is flying off shop's shelves as Scots desperately avoid becoming sick.
Three new cases took the total number of infected people to six in Scotland, leaving panicked punters scrambling to stores trying to stock up on soap.
Now shoppers are looking for an alternative to keep deadly coronavirus germs at bay.
Taking matters into their own hands people are using alcohol to make their own handmade sanitiser.
Sadly Scots can’t reach for most booze in the cupboard as it must have at least 60% alcohol to kill germs.
All you need is Isopropyl alcohol, known as rubbing alcohol, aloe vera gel, and a bowl.
Create your own batch of sanitizer by mixing a 2/3 cup of alcohol and 1/3 cup aloe vera together.
You can mask the smell of alcohol once blended by then adding several drops of essential oil such as lavender.
According to global health bosses one of the most effective methods that can stop the spreading of germs is to thoroughly wash your hands.
The CDC said: “The washing hands with soap and water is the best way to get rid of germs in most situations.
“If soap and water are not readily available, you can use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that contains at least 60 per cent alcohol.
“You can tell if the sanitizer contains at least 60 per cent alcohol by looking at the product label."
