Answer:
Rubbing alcohol, U.S.P. / B.P. is a liquid prepared for topical application prepared from specially denatured alcohol and containing 68.5-71.5% vol./vol. of absolute (ie. 100%) alcohol. However, individual manufacturers can use their own "formulation standards" in which the ethanol content usually ranges from 70-95% v/v.
Applied externally as a cooling, soothing application for bedridden patients and athletes. It is also widely used for cleansing the surgeon's hands and instruments and for disinfection of the skin prior to penetration of the skin by a hypodermic needle. As an antiseptic it is good against vegetative bacteria and fair against fungi and viruses. It is ineffective against spores. It is widely believed that 70% ethanol provides the greatest reduction in bacterial count; however, this is in error. Other concentrations may be more effective, but their rate of kill is slower. In order to reduce the skin bacterial count to 5% of normal, 70% ethanol must be left on the skin for at least 2 min...
Illuminate or eliminate?
There is a world of difference.
Rubbing Alcohol :
A mixture usually consisting of 70 percent isopropyl or absolute alcohol, applied externally to relieve muscle and joint pain."
Here are more suggestions and tips from others:
If you chose to use it, I would do so cautiously because it can cause harmful reactions. See the link to the right on toxicology.
We ususally use rubbing alcohol to sterilize things like thermometers.
It can also be used for cleaning your printer heads.
Rubbing alcohol can also be used after using RitAID for lice. It makes sure the lice are not there.
Useful for cleaning VCR heads that have become dirty when the magnetic coating on old VHS tapes disintegrates. If the heads are not cleaned, the residue damages any other tapes played in your VCR and the heads eventually (abrasive oxide). Use lint free cloth.
To clean the TFT LCD screens of notebook computers: removes the oily buildup from fingers and cigarette smoke and restores and tones the special coating on the screen (Dilute the rubbing alcohol 2:1 with distilled water then add 2,5ml apple cider vinegar per 100ml - completelt restores and cleans).
To cut sheets of safety-glass: score the glass with a diamond cutter then pour rubbing alcohol into the furrow and set light with a match - the heat melts the bonded substrate between the two sheets of glass and makes a clean straight break.
Rubbing Alchohol, used properly, can be used as a disinfectant. Hospitals and medical professionals use it often to wipe off their equipment, such as a stethoscope, that is used regularly and cannot easily be sterilized between uses. At home it is useful when someone is sick (or not), for example, take all areas where people use items constantly, such as doorknobs, telephones, kitchen cabinet handles, refrigerator, tv remote control and TOYS. Using a disposable towel or paper towels, cleanse the touchable items with rubbing alcohol, it usually kills GERMS and BACTERIA and keeps common areas A LOT cleaner, and generally will keep GERMS from spreading. It is particularly useful in bathroom areas. Naturally keep areas well ventilated. It is a quick and easy solution to disinfecting home or OFFICE. And it dries very quickly without leaving a smelly after odor (like bleach).
Use rubbing alcohol to help dry up a cold sore. Apply when the cold sore apears until it becomes dry and it will shorten the life and begin to fall off. Takes about a week instead of two.
To clean windows and other household appliances when mixed with baking soda and vinegar.
To get grease out of a carpet, apply rubbing alcohol and lightly rub in a circular motion with a clean rag until spot is gone. Always Check for colorfastness first!
Rubbing alcohol disinfects your skin and if you are giving yourself a shot or something it's so that it doesn't get infected
I carry it in a small spray bottle and use it to sanitize shopping carts, or use after using a public restroom or on the table at a restaurant. I use it to wipe down our seating area on the airplane too (pre 911 of course. I don't know if I could bring it now.) - any place that could have germs during flu and cold season.
You can use rubbing alcohol to wipe off the oil your skin puts on a surface before you paint to prevent fisheyes.
You can use rubbing alcohol to remove permanent marker on plastic, or glass. Be careful of the percentage you are using with plastic. Test an area first. Certain plastics can get gummy.
