Everyday uses of Alcohol

Posted Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Here are some tips for the Frugal, Fine and Fabulous one product mini uses.

Alcohol, if  grandma used it, you know it had a good quality.

I used to take the pads from the dr’s office and put them in my purse,lol. Now-a-days I faithfully buy them myself. There’s so many uses to them..

A mixture usually consisting of 70 percent isopropyl or absolute alcohol, applied externally to relieve muscle and joint pain.”

It can also be used for cleaning your printer heads.

Rubbing Alcohol, 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 appears 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. 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.

Rubbing alcohol can be used to remove nail polish and also permanent marker from smooth surfaces (I use it on burnt CDs that I accidentally mark wrong)

You use rubbing alcohal for many things but it is mainly used for disinfecting cuts and scrapes

Enjoy and use it to the fullest!!
