Using hand sanitizer should not cause a positive result on an alcohol test, as hand sanitizers typically contain isopropyl alcohol or ethanol in concentrations that are not high enough to register on a breathalyzer or blood test for alcohol consumption.
Blood dissipates quickly from blood, the rate being .015 of BAC per hour. However, a urine test will test positive for alcohol for days after any consumption or even any contact with any product that contains alcohol (hand sanitizer, mouthwash, etc.
Hand sanitizer can leave a residue or temporary mark, especially on certain surfaces or materials like leather or unfinished wood. To avoid potential staining, it's best to test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Promptly wiping off excess hand sanitizer can also help prevent any staining.

The color of the test strip for chlorine sanitizer typically changes to indicate the level of chlorine present in the solution. It can range from yellow to green to brown, depending on the concentration of chlorine.

It's important to discuss the results with a healthcare provider to determine the cause of the positive test.
The Etg test is extremely sensitive to any presence of alcohol. For example, using alcohol-based hand sanitizer or mouthwash containing any alcohol will cause a person to fail the test days after contact with the alcohol.
