> Rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting pads typically contain a 60–70% solution of isopropyl alcohol or ethanol in water. Water is required to open up membrane pores of bacteria, which acts as a gateway for isopropyl alcohol.
Some of us live in the rural US, where asking “where the rubbing alcohol” is a much more useful question to ask than “wheres the isopropyl alcohol?”

I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone complain about it being called rubbing alcohol lol. I call it isopropyl alcohol most of the time bc of an avoidable acetone on my playstation controller incident, but still rubbing alcohol isn’t a bad name

I work with an electrician that calls it isopropytol and she’s been saying it at me long enough that it’s too late to correct her. Makes me laugh a little bit every time.

I always cleaned thermal paste with pure ethanol (extremely expensive), i am scared of isopropanol because it gets metabolized into acetone.

That shit cleans so well. Use 99 if you can.
My 2nd yearly tower clean is coming up. My pc always smells like a hospital for a few days.
