Everyday Personal Care and First Aid: What to Keep Stocked
Antiseptics, handwash and the small health supplies worth having before you need them.
Editor
This is the category people buy in an emergency at whatever price is nearest. Keeping a few things stocked in advance costs less and works better. Prices below are current merchant listings.
What to look for
Read the dilution instructions. Concentrated antiseptic liquids are formulated to be diluted — one capful in a mug of water for skin, stronger for floors and surfaces. Applying them neat to a wound irritates tissue and slows healing.
Buy refills, keep one pump. The pump mechanism is most of the cost of a handwash bottle. A single good dispenser plus refill pouches is materially cheaper over a year.
