How to Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer?

A homemade hand sanitizer can come in handy when you’ve just come home after being in contact with public areas, have had to handle currency and cards, or have had to touch doorknobs and railings.

Hand sanitizers normally come in one of two forms: a gel or a spray. Choose whichever suits you:

For the spray sanitizer you will need:
- Isopropyl alcohol

- Hydrogen peroxide
- Distilled water
- A spray bottle
How to make it:
1. Mix 12 fl.oz of alcohol with 2 teaspoons of glycerol.
2. Mix in 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide, then 3 fl.oz of distilled water.
3. Pour the solution into the spray bottle. You can, optionally, add a few drops of essential oil to the concoction (opt for those with antibacterial properties such as lavender, peppermint, lemongrass, geranium, etc).
How to Make Homemade Disinfectant Cleaning Products?

A trip to the stores may be a challenge. You might prefer to stay indoors rather than risk contracting a virus, or you may have to stay home due to quarantine measures. Whatever the case, you should make sure to keep your home clean by airing it daily and disinfecting any areas that may be prone to collecting germs, allergens or other irritants.

Making your own homemade disinfectant is quite easy. The disinfectant recipes I recommend are not only highly effective, but they are also quite safe to use as they do not contain highly toxic ingredients. They are also naturally antiviral and antibacterial.

Disinfectant #1: Apple Cider Vinegar Spray

You can make a homemade disinfectant with either apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. I highly recommend apple cider vinegar, as it is ——

You will need:
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups of water
- Empty spray bottle
How to make it:

Add all the ingredients into the empty spray bottle. Once the lid is secured, shake the bottle well and store in a cool, dry, and dark place, like a cupboard. Shake the bottle before every use. You can spray it onto surfaces to disinfect them, allowing it to stand for 1-2 minutes. These surfaces should then be rinsed and dried with a clean cloth.

Disinfectant #2: Fresh Lemon Spray

Lemons are highly effective against eliminating germs and odors. These antibacterial and antiviral agents also have a refreshing scent.

You will need:
- The juice of 2 lemons
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- 2 cups of water
- Empty spray bottle
How to make it:

Juice the lemons, making sure to remove any pips and pulp. Add the juice with the vinegar and water to the spray bottle, secure the lid, and shake very well. Store in a cool, dry, and dark place. Spray onto surfaces you wish to disinfect, allowing the solution to stand for 1-2 minutes. These surfaces should then be rinsed and dried with a clean cloth. You can even use it to clean kitchen appliances like the air fryer with its rotisserie.

Disinfectant #3: Aromatherapeutic Spray

Essential oils are known for their high therapeutic properties. When diluted, these miraculous little oils can be used to kill germs, soothe irritated skin, even boost one’s mood. However, do make sure to purchase essential oils that are 100% natural and always follow dilution directions carefully.

What you will need:
- 20-30 drops of an antiviral/antibacterial essential oil of your choice (lemon, orange, lavender, geranium, eucalyptus, rosemary, —-
- ¾ cup distilled water
- ¼ cup grain alcohol
- 8 oz empty glass spray bottle
How to make it:

How to Format External Hard Drive on a Mac?

Therefore, in this article, you will find tons of handy steps and information regarding to format external hard drives.

Well, a Mac or Windows user uses an external hard drive when they want to save its personal files out of its PC. However, anyone can access your computer whether they can be your friends, family members, or anyone else. But you can’t hide your personal data or the folder you saved your files. Although you can lock the folder to hide all your personal content, But, there are several ways to unlock the folder. Thus, having an external hard drive will help you to save your files.

For that, you might buy a new external hard drive and you connected with your Mac computer or Windows PC. However, the new external hard drive comes as formatted drive, But, if you think the external drive should be formatted as another format filesystem. Then, you can do it with the below easy step-by-step process.

So, there are several filesystem format as FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, HFS, HFS+, and APFS. But, the question is, which file format is compatible with your Mac computer? or which file format you should choose while formating your external drive?. If you don’t know, then, in this article you will get A to Z details.

Note: If you have important files inside the external hard drive, make sure, copy or transfer the files to another safe era prior to formatting. Because formatting the drive will erase all the data.

Which File Format is Compatible with your Mac?

Before moving on, you should know which file format to use, as there are many file formats to choose from. But, which one is compatible with your Mac, or which one should you use. Here, I will guide you.

APFS (Apple File System)

APFS (Apple File System) is the new file format of Apple that announced and added on the macOS High Sierra operating system. This format is the default if you have macOS High Sierra OS on your computer. However, there several good points such as it is more efficient and more reliable. Although you can use an encrypted version and a case-sensitive version.

As a result, it will not be readable or usable by another Mac that doesn’t have macOS High Sierra. Moreover, a Windows or Linux user can’t use the drive or they can’t read and write either. Well, again I recommend you to use APFS format because that’s no matter which macOS other users have.

macOS Extended (Journaled or HFS+)

Another macOS filesystem format which is macOS Extended (Journaled) also known as HFS+. However, on the latest macOS High Sierra update APFS replaced macOS Extended as the default file format. Therefore, if you have not updated your macOS High Sierra to the latest operating system update then macOS Extended is the default format of your Mac PC.

There are best options to choose if you don’t want others to access your personal files and the option is macOS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted). The other option is to choose macOS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled, Encrypted), So, if you want to have capital letters then Windows can read HFS+ drives but can not write to the drive.

MS-DOC FAT or FAT32

The MS-DOC FAT or FAT32 is the oldest file format system that allows anyone to access the file whether to read or to write to them. SO, if you are the one that shares the drive to your friends, colleagues, or other people. Then, this file format is the best option for you. However, this file format has the 4GB or smaller limit space thus you can’t share or save larger files.

ExFAT

ExFAT file format is the same as FAT32 but this file format can store more than 4GB files. Moreover, if your drive is formatted with this file format then both Windows and Mac users can read the drive.

NTFS

The last file format NTFS which is the default Windows file format but macOS user can only read the NTFS and can’t write to them.
