Great simple, logical, and straightforward suggestions.  I’d ditch the hand sanitizer, however:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29182464

Excerpt:

The burgeoning literature on human health effects associated with TCS (triclosan) exposure, such as reproductive problems, was also summarized.

Excerpt:

These findings strongly suggest there are adverse health effects in mice with long-term TCS exposure, especially on enhancing liver fibrogenesis and tumorigenesis, and the relevance of TCS liver toxicity to humans should be evaluated.

Also, hand sanitizers are 60% alcohol – which not only is very drying but is also a no-no for anyone on disulfiram. I found this out the hard way in the hospital:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/10/27/disulfiram-psychosis-update-2/
