The last few times I used the hand sanitizer that I keep in the car for when I go shopping, it has taken longer to evaporate while rubbing my hands, and it feels tackier while doing so.
Enough of the alcohol in it may have evaporated, that it is no longer very effective. I should replace it. Luckily, hand sanitizer is no longer difficult to come by.
I had bought a non-alcohol one to try out last week. It contains 0.13% benzalkonium chloride as the active ingredient. It smells very similar to an unscented non-toxic cleaner that I use for scrubbing the tub. I always wear rubber gloves when using that tub cleaner. When I smell this scent on my bare hands, I think that my hands aren't supposed to smell like that; that I shouldn't have that chemical on them as it is a strong cleaner. It makes me want to wash my hands to get it off.
The old alcohol one had a very faint pleasant lemony scent. I prefer that.
