Use Rubbing Alcohol Around the House
Rubbing alcohol is 70 percent isopropyl alcohol and 30 percent water, and is safe for contact with the skin. It has a number of general medicinal and household uses. This list of ideas makes having a bottle of rubbing alcohol in the house a good idea.
Instructions
1. Clean slatted blinds alcohol. Wrap a flat tool like a spatula or a drywall knife in a cloth and dip it in rubbing alcohol. Slide it along each slat.
2. Whisk hairspray from bathroom mirrors in no time. Soak a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and rub over the mirror, then clean the mirror with window cleaner and paper towels.
3. Keep windows frost-free all winter with a solution of one quarter of water and a half-cup of rubbing alcohol. Wash the windows with the solution and polish with newspaper to prevent frost from building up.
4. Make a soft ice pack with three parts of water and one part rubbing alcohol in a self-sealing plastic bag. Freeze the solution to a soft slush that will conform to the injured body part, unlike a rigid ice pack.
5. Remove ticks from dogs. Use a cotton swab and dab rubbing alcohol on the tick before removing it. Grab the tick as close to the skin as possible and remove it. Dab alcohol on the wound to disinfect it. Use the same method when removing ticks from people, too.
6. Wipe down the phone with rubbing alcohol. Remove grime and disinfect at the same time.
7. Eradicate ink stains. Soak the spot in rubbing alcohol for several minutes, then launder.
