Here is a gadget or hack I came up with I have not seen anyone make or use before. if you lose your water in a hurricane or other disaster and need to conserve water yet still keep clean here is a little gadget to help you minimize the amount of water used to wash your hands. I noticed in the video water was dripping down the stick to the cap which will contaminate the cleaning water, it will be better to have the stick pointing up so no water drips on it and then back to the cap. You do not need to use your fingers to operate the cap, you can tap it with the side of your hand gently to open or close it. There is no cost to make this other than a tiny bit of hot glue as the jug and stick can be recycled.
I don't think you can over rate the importance of hygiene in a disaster situation. When I have been without water in the past after hurricanes one of my biggest annoyances was how to keep my hands clean without running water. I hope this gadget helps people who have very little water and no money use as little water as possible yet still be clean. 
To make the cleaning solution I used liquid Dawn soap and water. Dawn is good as you can make soapy suds with it even with sea water. 

You want to label the jug as cleaning water in case it gets contaminated with hand washing you would not want people drinking it.
 Good luck to everybody
 I put new videos on every week.
