It’s best to avoid using any isopropyl mixture below 90% on circuit boards and other electrical bits. If you’re simply cleaning the adhesive off something metal or plastic, 70% might do in a pinch, but you’ll want to be sure not to spill it onto circuits or wires. There’s enough water in that lower-grade stuff that it will take longer to evaporate, and may leave behind trace impurities from the water when you’re finished. Most manufacturers sell rubbing alcohol in different formulation strengths, namely 70 or 90 percent rubbing alcohol.

PMID 12726989. Rubbing alcohol is different to the alcohol you find in beers, wines and spirits. Rubbing alcohol, therefore, is not safe to consume. This process is similar to what happens when you wash your hands with soap and water. However, soap is even more effective than alcohol.

For these 3 reasons: stability, effectiveness, and safety. And because of my experience in engineering applications. I go with 70% isopropyl alcohol whenever disinfecting at home. Isopropyl Alcohol Safety Measures Alcohols evaporate VERY rapidly. How fast, will depend on the air exchange rate, and the temperature. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-updates-hand-sanitizers-consumers-should-not-use#products Lice. Although rubbing alcohol can help to kill lice, it can also cause chemical burns on the scalp. Avoid this method in favor of more proven treatments, such as medicated lice shampoos. We know, rely on, and recommend isopropyl alcohol (a.k.a. isopropanol, or IPA) for many of our techniques and guides. It’s pretty simple stuff, but it is sold in different ways, and recommended for a myriad of uses.

The chemical cannot be used to clean all areas and tools, so perform a patch test before you ruin items in your home.

Unfortunately, rubbing alcohol can be very drying to skin so don’t use on any dry areas. Also, applying it after shaving or to open acne areas can cause a burning sensation. Clark, D. E. (2001). Peroxides and peroxide-forming compounds. Chemical Health and Safety, 8(5), 12-22. Understandably, people have questions. Is “rubbing alcohol” or “surgical spirit” the same thing? What percentage of isopropyl do I need for electronics work or disinfecting? Can I use anything else on my electronics? And, hey, is this stuff going to catch on fire if I cause a spark?
