While using expired hand sanitizer is generally not recommended, it may still be effective for a short period after the expiration date, depending on the storage conditions and the specific formulation. However, the active ingredients may degrade over time, reducing its efficacy in killing germs. It’s best to check for any changes in color, consistency, or smell, and when in doubt, consider replacing it with a fresh product to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Neither. The sanitizer may kill some microorganisms near the place where it falls, but the ground will still be made of dirt and therefore still be dirty. The sanitizer will then soak into the ground and be diluted and dispersed, loosing its effectiveness.
