Is There Any Hope Brown Grass Will Come Back On Its Own After Being Sprayed With Alcohol?

I sprayed around the foundation of my house with 91% alcohol to kill clover mites that were invading the inside of my house. The grass near the foundation has now browned. Will the grass eventually come back? And, if not, is the soil damaged so that new grass seed will not germinate?

If your grass is the type that spreads by rhizomes, it will probably come back. Since the soil is likely damaged, I would work some compost or manure into the ground to enrich it.
