It’s used in making hash oil.... probably why it’s hard to find.

[@kirawelty]

​@@jimlahey8919 Isopropyl isn't clean enough, what's better is a food grade alcohol like Everclear, which is even more versatile than isopropyl. The same goes for making extracts. Don't use anything but food grade. The cutting edge is using super-critical CO2 which evaporates without flammable fumes.

If you buy the 70% stuff and want to concentrate it further you can mix the rubbing alcohol with some table salt and shake it a bit. Salt is much more soluble in water than isopropyl alcohol and the alcohol and water layers will actually separate leaving a salt water solution and a high purity alcohol solution.

[@markconger8049]

FYI: If you cannot find isopropyl alcohol then check your local liquor store for Everclear which is 95% pure grain alcohol and works just as well in most cases. I use it for making my own cologne and body sprays with essential oils. We also make our own bathroom spray using 90% or better alcohol and cinnamon essential oil (doTerra Cassia.)

[@cadenoliver4230]

Going on the windshield deicing idea, I’ve added a small amount of isopropyl directly into my wiper fluid reservoir to help prevent the fluid from freezing once it is sprayed on the windshield when it’s extremely cold. I’ve had great luck with it instantly melting ice/snow on the windshield.

I was so glad I had a bottle of 90% in March when the alcohol and hand sanitiser disappeared overnight. I mixed it with glycerin to make my own hand sanitiser. Also made another with aloe vera gel which I preferred. Got us through when you couldn't get the stuff anywhere.

[@michaeldougfir9807]

I have helped at the mortuary a lot. You encounter tons of bad germs there. I sprayed my hands and equipment frequently. A mist from a spray bottle really stretches the alcohol supply. It is also good for door knobs and other public-use items. Anyway spray it on your hands and rub it in. Remember your finger tips and clean your nails then treat under them.

[@AudaxK9Academy]

You mentioned it as a stand alone for nausea but it also enhances the effectiveness of anti-nausea prescription drugs and is safe to use at the same time so if your Zofran or Meclazine isn't quite good enough you can add sniffing an alcohol wipe or a few drops on a cotton ball with no adverse affects.

[@makermentality1031]

You can also mix it in with your washer fluid in your car so you can hit it in the morning to deice your windshield. During the winter I use only water and alcohol in my washer bottle. It actually works pretty good cleaning the windshield too!

[@stburr91]

When opening the foil on the alcohol, just poke a small hole in the foil so it comes out in a more controllable amounts, and it also helps keep the alcohol from evaporating as fast, so the bottle last longer.

[@timmeyer9642]

My #1 use for it is for surface prep. It’s a great cleaner before glue, paint, or double sided tape.

Alcohol combines with any liquid, petroleum, non-petroleum, organic greases and oils and can be used as a dilution and/or carrier for other products. Combined 12:1 with pure lanolin, it makes a great cartridge case lube for resizing rifle and pistol cases prior to reloading. Just put into a spray bottle and lightly spray the cases on a cookie sheet before running them through the resizing die.

[@opfor5593]

I've also used rubbing alcohol for a ringworm infection, just wet the area with it a couple times a day for like 3 days

[@Taudlitz]

just a quick note as chemist. Dont dilute your 70% IPA for desinfection purposes, you might want to dilute 90% solution to get around 70-80% as thats more optimal concentration. Too concentrated or to diluted solutions dont work optimaly.

[@john7m7usa]

I’ve used it to prevent my windshield washer fluid sprayers from freezing - it works pretty well!

[@paulkusnierz5]

Works great as a padlock deicer. I keep a bottle in the truck for whenever I need to unlock a frozen padlock in the winter.

[@HNCahoon]

Reminds me: Nothing sticks to oil. I've used olive oil to remove pine pitch from hair. Also helps remove label glue from products.

#17 - Deodorant (not antiperspirant). Most deodorants used to be alcohol in some kind of carrier. We have used it in the summer because most deodorants, and antiperspirants, have some kind of fragrance added, and most artificial fragrances attract insects. I also know someone who has skin reaction to to fragrances, and he uses it. It doesn't last all day, but most deodorants don't either.

[@mattbeazer5896]

Something to note, 70% is a better disinfectant than 90%. It sounds contradictory but the additional water content does something that allows the alcohol to be more effective against bacteria, something about assisting it penetrate the cell better. Water down 90% if you want to disinfect something.

[@alanj7306]

That’s just scratching the surface. There are so many uses, it’s amazing. It’s great for cleaning the exterior car windows as well since it won’t streak and breaks down the road grime. Also works great for cleaning a greasy stove top. It breaks the grease down immediately and again, won’t streak. I put some on a Q-tip and clean my belly button with it after I shower. Keeps it from ever getting smelly. So many uses. Generally, you want the 70%. The oxygen from the water reacts with the alcohol to help kill germs better. I can’t remember the exact chemistry behind it though. My friend, God bless you and yours and stay safe!

If you can’t find rubbing alcohol you can always go to your liquor store and buy Everclear. You can do all of the above with it and drink it.

Great video and thank you, I wanted to add what I use it for mostly and that's for cleaning and drying electronics. Make sure it's unplugged or the battery is out AND the capacitors are discharged BEFORE cleaning electronics. It works great to clean charging ports with a toothpick soaked in isopropyl. Just make sure it's all dry before you plug in. Ps if you have a disk player that won't read a disc,or that skips and stops when played with like like a DVD player or game console use a DRY Q-tip and gently clean the lens (small clear glass that reads the disc) it works every time but make sure it's a dry Q-tip.

Unless you have the superior silicone wiper blades. Silicone isn't affected by IPA and it also puts a micro-thin layer over your windshield so that after using them enough simply driving at a high enough speed the water of rain and snow and ice rush off the glass as they cannot easily hold to the glass any longer. I love my PIAA wipers! Had them for 8 years and still working perfectly (because silicone doesn't dry out like rubber does). Imagine receiving at least 8 years from your wiper blades...

You can also remove sharpie from hard surfaces, like kitchen countertops when the kids get into the sharpies. I use it at times to clean my pocket knife, especially if I've opened a lot of boxes (tape goo) and it works great, also makes it sterile so if you use your knife to prep or open up food. I know I can just use soap or a degreaser but it's safe for my clothes and a lot faster than soap/water and I don't have to worry about water down in the knife innards.

alcohol on ticks not a good idea. dawn dish soap works ok. most people don't realize there is a fast and simple way to remove ticks with nothing but ur finger. twirl the tick clockwise for one minute then counterclockwise for another. repeat and it won't take long it will completely back out on it's own no wondering if u got all the legs or not. an older gentleman who had coon dogs showed me this trick when I was a teenager.
