can i use hand sanitizer instead of rubbing alcohol?

No, while water will evaporate along with alcohol, the other ingredients in the sanitizer wont, or at least not as quickly, leaving a gunky film on the blade.

You'll just have to write this blade off, but... later today you could stop by almost any store and pick up some rubbing alcohol for about a dollar (USD).

Additional details:

Can't find rubbing alcohol in your country? How odd! Your profile says "Beverly Hills California", which is in the U.S., at least it was last time I checked. Certainly there are drugstores near you where you could find it.

hand sanitizer = worst theory ever. a lengthy time period in the past I were given this disc from GameStop with brushes on the bottom of it quite designed for cleansing your disc cartridge element, I propose searching really a kind of instead of risking utilising a twig or inspite of. i have finished it many circumstances formerly it quite works.

to disinfect my scissors i cheat sometimes and use hand sanitizer but i find that it leaves a residue because of the moisturizing effects? you should prolly just stick to rubbing alcohol. just to play it safe. but one time won't kill it

that is bad for your health so you can't use that.
