We’ve already some freezing temperatures in the Finger Lakes…did you car hand sanitizer freeze, too?

If the answer is “yes”, you should throw it away.

It’s not because cold weather ruins it…rather that it was probably no good in the first place, according to Fox56.

Most hand sanitizers are alcohol-based…at least 60% alcohol or more…so they won’t freeze until the temperature gets REALLY low…like minus 50 degrees!

So if it does freeze, it means there wasn’t enough alcohol in there to be effective and it’s time to get a new bottle.
