    Got hand sanitizer on the driver's eat and wonder how I might rid myself of it? I posted this earlier but can't find the post for the life of me.

    What is left of it? The active ingredient in hand sanitizer is alcohol, which should completely evaporate. If you have a stain, then it is either damage from the alcohol or residual from any added moisturizing ingredients. To remove any residual ingredients, you need to dissolve them by using a cloth dampened with alcohol. I would use ethanol but others may work. Make sure to test it on a hidden spot before going after a big stain.
