There is an alcohol called Ethyl (also known as Ethanol) which is supposed to be in many normal drinks, by a percentage of around 0.05%. A beverage company has openly stated it on their website. The amount seems so small, and I am sure in essence it changes and doesn’t remain in its original form. I would like your view if those drinks with ethyl are permissible or not?
Every liquid that can cause intoxication naturally is najis, and is prohibited to consume. If alcohol is added to a drink, even in such a minute amount, it is prohibited to consume.

If the items like knives, glasses or surfaces of kitchens and bathrooms become najis by people who do not care about taharah and they continue to make them najis again and again, then what should somebody do?

The validity of the prayer is conditioned with the taharah of the body and the clothes of the praying person and the place of resting the forehead during prostration. The rest of the place where the person is praying does not have to be tahir but you should make sure your body or clothes do not come in contact with dampness with the rest of the place of prayer if it was najis.
It is also prohibited to consume najis foods or drinks or what comes in contact with najis things with dampness.
You are not required to check for the state of najasah in things, but you can consider things to be tahir if you do not know that they came in contact with najasah. It is not a condition or a prohibition to avoid contacting najasah or najis things in other than the mentioned cases.

It is allowed to use the rennet that is extracted from the animal that was not slaughtered according to Islamic laws, since it is tahir and exempted from the prohibition of using parts of the animal corpse.
