I've never had a strong grasp of chemistry. Perhaps Doc&Ruby could help. Yesterday was the 14th day in a row that I attempted to make hand sanitizer and it came out as a rum and coke. I'm not ready to give up just yet!
If Lysol and Clorox work from the inside, I don't see why rum wouldn't.
I ran out of rum and Black Velvet, so I'm now working on my supply of Rock and Rye. That stuff is REALLY good!
