I agree with almost everything you said but I wouldn't be comfortable using it on a TV, it probably would be fine if it was in a spray bottle, watered down. I'm not 100% sure I would have to test it. As for cleaning computer parts, it is safe to use a few times as long as it's switched off when cleaning but I don't recommend using it all the time unless you just cleaning the CPU, because it is corrosive. If it's not too dirty I recommend using compressed air, it would be safer.

I have an ~30 year old Swiss army knife that the blades and utilities became so stiff to open it was nothing more the the toothpick and tweezers but I’ve always had it in my pocket. I wrenched all of the blades/etc. open last Thursday, blew it out with a computer spray duster (air can), then took some 70% Isopropanol and a couple of quetips and wiped all clean. Note! The isopropanol began to react with the red plastic grips, they became tacky until it evaporated so keep it off of the grips! I then lubricated the whole thing with 3 in1 oil, wrapped it in a paper towel over nite to absorb the excess oil and, Viola, it opens and operates as it did brand new. Also note that after all these years it has never been sharpened and after cutting open hundreds of corrugated brown taped boxes at home and at work it is still very sharp!

Can I use this to kill mold?

[@rebeccarosenbaum-b1u]

Let’s talk mold… Fungi aka Mold is only seen by the eye/ human after there are trillions of fungi spores encompassing the space. Your answer is NO! Isopropyl Alcohol is a dehydrator. Meaning is it only dehydrates on the surface. If mold is present only removal of all drywall, sheet rock, rubbers, acrylics, brick, stone, wood and paint must be permanently removed. Fungi/mold is very heart and will wait dormant.

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

I use a 50/50 mix of water and 5% white vinegar to kill mold on most things around the house. It's a lot cheaper than isopropyl alcohol. Removes mold better than many things and safer to use. Caution it is not safe on everything. I've used it on painted surfaces, counters, in the fridge on floors, and also added it to the laundry wash. Can also be sprayed into shoes that stink. Dilute it even more on wood laminate floors and only lightly moisten wood laminate floors. Don't know about lacquer floors.

[@carolboteler5381]

I agree that isopropyl alcohol has been a great cleaner for removing dust and grease from most plastic and even painted surfaces - I use it all the time for the right surfaces. That being said, I have a problem with some sort of "rubbery" surfaces. It's a puzzle to me. I have two examples: (1) On my laptop there are two places, on either side of the keypad below the keyboard, also the buttons at the top of the keypad, where the surface is sort of rubbery feeling. I don't know if that's meant to be (It's a refurbished [used} computer, so it's old.) or if it's an accumulation of dust and grease from previous owners. The keyboard area abuts these surfaces; there is a seam between the two different surfaces -- the keyboard is hard, shiny and smooth, next to it, the not so smooth panels with dust and lint adhered to them. Anyway, that surface just gets sticky when I try to wipe it again with alcohol. I don't know if I need to keep rubbing more to get down through layers and remove the sticky surface or if I'm just making the stickiness go deeper into some unusual sort of substance. [Also note: the bottom edge of those panels on both sides is smooth as if from hands resting there as one would rest their hands when not typing.] (2) I have a great flashlight that gets stickier and stickier the more I try to clean it with isopropyl alcohol. I have used a cotton ball, cotton fabric, paper towel -- no matter what the sticky surface just grabs the fibers of the cotton or paper and feels stickier and stickier. I've tried other household cleaners (409 type stuff) and get the same result. I even tried cleaning that flashlight with Goo Gone, it was just as bad. I can't get that stickiness to go away. I finally have wrapped the flashlight in tee-shirt fabric so I can stand to handle it. The fabric almost adheres as if it were glued on! It seems as though the surface has softened to a sticky mess after alcohol cleaning. Any ideas ?

[@iamsobanned]

I think I know exactly what you are talking about. Certain rubberized surfaces oxidize and become tacky. Dell was REALLY bad with this on some of their laptops. You have to soak it and scrape off the top few layers. That will help for awhile but it will happen again. If it is something you intend to keep I would suggest throwing a vinyl wrap on it to try to prevent further breakdown of the surface.

[@TheBinklemNetwork]

In the youtube studio side of things, you can clip out the scream portion of the video.

[@Navak_]

so i get that it's safe on surfaces because it has a neutral pH and it's safe on electronics because it doesn't contain (much) water but what i don't get is HOW, chemically, it actually cleans things. why is something with a neutral pH such an effective cleaner against such a wide array of substances?

[@thetrivium2261]

For LCD displays I'd recommend the RS Pro Isopropyl Alcohol Cleaner. It's a much higher purity, I think >90% than regular IPA.

[@OMNITEK]

[@MrBsMovies]

One other thing, besides wood, that sometimes reacts poorly to isopropyl alcohol is acrylic. Some acrylics will crack if you try to clean them with isopropyl alcohol

[@JJFX-]

Usually it's flame-polished acrylic because this treatment weakens the bonds of the polymer chains at the surface making it more susceptible to IPA, leading to cracking/crazing. You'll typically see this with milled acrylic that's then polished (acrylic viewports, PC water cooling parts, etc.). Pure sheets of acrylic are often not as susceptible to immediate damage but I'd avoid leaving high concentrations on it. Keep in mind, 'acrylic' is a broad description for a large family of polymers.

Is it still safe to use for cleaning electronic boards (or any other related components) even if it's just 70% solution? Asking just to be sure.

[@Brujo2016]

That's what I'm wondering, I only have 70%

[@theancientone1616]

70% solution is worse because it has 30% of water. Water takes a lot longer to evaporate than alcohol so if you decide to clean electronic equipment with a 70% solution, you need to wait a lot longer after cleaning it before connecting it to power again. Also not many people know this but water can actually leave behind minerals (if it’s not distilled) after evaporating and that can cause corrosion in the long term. So while it probably won’t damage your board immediately, it’s still much safer and convenient to find a higher % solution. I would suggest at least 90%+.

What should I be careful of? You didn’t answer any of these. People don’t want to watch empty rants. We want content that we care about. I hope you take this as constructive criticism.

[@daveycrockett64]

Parts of this video are incorrect. Isopropyl alcohol is used in the electronics industry and it is a safe and effective cleaner, but what is being cleaned in the industry is not grease, in is the flux residue left after the soldering operation. Isopropyl alcohol will dissolve grease, but is not the best solvent for this, something like lighter fuel, or many other organic solvents without an -OH hyroxyl group, will work better, but some of them might also possibly dissolve your whole TV. Ethyl alcohol is not "greasy and corrosive" it has very similar properties to isopropyl alcohol, missing one carbon atom in the chain compared to propanol (or isopropyl alcohol). Ethyl alcohol (=ethanol) is not easy to obtain in it's pure form as the government worries about you evading duty. You buy it as usually IMS (industrial methylated spirits) and you need a licence to buy it, vodka is quite close. I use IMS for preserving spiders. So this video is incorrect technically, but for practical purposes correct enough.

[@andersgrassman6583]

I would argue, that any of the usual alcohol variants, work pretty much the same. In practice, that would mean methanol and ethanol. I don't understand the statement that "ethanol is greasy". I use it frequently for DEGREASING surfaces. Isopropyl may be even better, but ethanol (without much additives), I can buy in every grocery store and gas/petrol station. Hell, if i have some pure vodka at home, I will use that for cleaning printerheads or whateaver. Haven't tested moonshine / homemade vodka on electronics though, and probably that's pushing it.) Regular gasoline/petrol is also practical as a heavy degreaser for not so sensitive things. But medical / pure gasoline is preferrable. Or in this time of an epidemic caused by a virus with a fat based shell, you could use that as a desinfectant on your hands. (Also, why not spray some on yor clothes, to make people hold that distance!? ;-D Though just skipping that deo roller and adding some urin to some apparel, might work better, as at lest I actually find car gasoline to smell nice. I always wanted to help my father fill up the car as a kid.) Not sure if glycol (C2H4(OH)2) used in car radiators has additives into it, otherwise I might use that too. Though it will evaporate consideraly slower than isopropanol, methanol or ethanol, so not a prime choice for cleaning things. While you are at it, teach your children to pay attention in their chemistry classes in school.

[@joeteejoetee]

I think he means _De-Natured_ Ethyl rubbing Alcohol, which contains petroleum and bitterants to make it un-consumable by human beings. Liquor store 95% Grain Alcohol (Golden-Grain) leaves absolutely no residue on drying.

[@joeteejoetee]

I can testify that Methanol will in fact harm mirror coatings because I destroyed the mirror of a surplus 12" telescope mirror using it. I poured a splash of it on the dusty mirror and swirled it around (non wiping or physical contact with the optical surface) and noticed the liquid started "sparkling" beautifully, until I realized that the that the mirror turned transparent, and the sparkles was the Silver coating was now in solution. A very expen$sive mistake. Alas the back side of the mirror was not optically flat or I could have at least had a huge plano-concave lens afterward...

[@LunaticTheCat]

Ethanol certainly isn't "greasy" but it is true that ethanol does not do as good of a job as dissolving oils as isopropyl alcohol does since isopropyl alcohol has an extra carbon group and is a little less polar than ethanol.

The pc boards are severely covered with dust, i will blow of what i can, and than spray on the alcohol and use a brush to clean it. Thats the plan anyway, and replacing all the big caps

How to remove oxidation marks from laptop top! alcohol does not work for me

[@wendyhazelgrave3085]

[@rajendrabiswas]

can I use screen cleaner liquid on electronics ? or is IPA more better ?

[@donaldtruck5148]

Would you use it to clean the plastic and metal parts of an air conditioner from dust and mold? Of course, I don't mean the electric cables.

[@FranklyFarcical]

Yup. And you can trust me because I’m a random commenter on a KZbin post.

Hi, I used IPA on my DJ deck and now have a mark on the deck. Any idea of how to clean it off?

Microfiber cloth for phone without anything to add on it looks ok (only if you are dirty so much on hands or friend add unmineral water, destilled i meant), surface is just like you expect to be done

[@HarveyJohnWillmott]

Do you mix it with water?

[@joshuachu2445]

How about Ethyl alcohol?
