How can one degrade ethanol at home? (oxidation/esterification etc)?

23 July 2020 0 4K Report

I'm allergic to alcohol (ethanol principally) and thus touching things with hand sanitizer on is a problem.

My question is, 'What substance can be added in the home to surfaces covered with ethanol/alcohol denat to destroy or change the alcohol molecule?

Can anything in the home be used to oxidize or esterificate ethanol in the home?

Help!
