I think this recipe is very interesting and all, but I'm at a loss as to what to do with it once it's made. Can I use it to sterilize things? Do I use it as a hand-wash/rinse when I'm in town and have to touch doors and grocery carts, instead of Purell or some other hand-sanitizer? Please, if anyone knows what this recipe is meant for, besides protecting one's self from the Plague, LOL, I'd love to know how to use it. Thanks!
