# 2622 Don't Have an Alcohol Problem
Question
Can one use during Pesach this year the sanitizers that contain alcohol, that could be chometz?
Answer
Alcohol-based versions of the commercially available sanitizers typically contain some combination of isopropyl alcohol, ethanol (ethyl alcohol), or n-propanol which are usually not chometz. Even the ethanol is most likely corn alcohol.
Therefore, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion, as expressed during the Shabbos Hagadol drosho, that during this difficult pandemic days, one can and should use those sanitizers.
