There are several brands using wood alcohol.

On a personal note~

I am sorry kpete!

I do understand your granddaughter's real fear of this virus. I have an 8 yr. granddaughter as well.

We have Disney reservations, hotel, tickets, etc., in 2 weeks. She loves, loves, loves Disney.
She is afraid to go.
Afraid for us to go.
Afraid to go to back to school.
She'd love to see school friends, but is afraid of bringing the virus back to us.

She stayed at our house because her parents are "essential workers" working crazy hours.
1st rule of quarantine:
She stays with us, not back and forth.
"Kids didn't get covid-19", remember?
How can you blame kids for not trusting most adults about this virus?

Hand washing gives some power over something you are powerless over. Masks & social distancing don't have that gratification.
Doubt this?
The millions of health products advertised constantly, not even aspirin helps this. Soap and water kills something you can't see that can kill you.
They have years left to live.
They know they need us around in these calamitous times.
It is instinctive.

Maybe one day she'll share how she "feels when she washes her hands".
Perhaps, later in life, she may turn to you when she feels powerless again growing up.

Thank you for letting me share. I needed this. We had to euthanize our sweet dog Nona from her pain from hip issues today.
My heart aches.
