FAQs
Is this safe to use on skin?
Yes, it is suitable for use as an antiseptic on minor wounds and bruises, though it may cause dryness.
Can I use this to clean electronics?
Yes, its high purity and quick evaporation make it ideal for cleaning keyboards and mouse surfaces, provided the device is powered off.
How should I store these bottles?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, or open flames, as it is highly flammable.
Does it expire?
While it does not have a strict expiration date, it should be kept sealed tightly to prevent evaporation, which would lower the concentration over time.
Can this be used for sterilization?
It is an effective disinfectant for sanitizing surfaces and skin, but for medical-grade sterilization of instruments, autoclave or professional heat methods are required.
Can I dilute this with water?
Diluting it will reduce its efficacy as a disinfectant; it is best used at its supplied 70% concentration.
Troubleshooting
Liquid leaves a faint white residue
This is likely due to contaminants already on the surface being lifted; wipe again with a clean, dry cloth.
The scent is too strong during indoor use
Ensure proper cross-ventilation by opening windows or using a fan to disperse vapors quickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; simply unscrew the cap and pour the desired amount into a glass or high-density plastic container for use. It is compatible with most non-porous surfaces like stainless steel, glass, and hard plastics, but should be tested on a small, inconspicuous area when using on finished woods or specific delicate plastics to ensure it does not strip finishes. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or open flames. Keep the caps tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation.
