FAQs

What is methylated spirits used for?

Methylated spirits are versatile and can be used for cleaning, degreasing, dissolving adhesives, preparing surfaces, and as a clean-burning fuel for specific lamps, fondue sets, and stoves.

Is it safe to use indoors?

Yes, but always ensure the area is well-ventilated. Methylated spirits are flammable, so keep them away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources when using or storing them.

How should I store this product?

Store in its original, tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Can this be used to clean electronics?

It is generally not recommended for cleaning sensitive electronics. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first, and ensure the device is powered off and completely dry before use. Avoid direct application onto electronic components.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always handle with care in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment like gloves and eye protection. Keep away from ignition sources and store safely. Refer to the container label for specific warnings.

What is the difference between methylated spirits and rubbing alcohol?

Methylated spirits are denatured ethanol, meaning other substances (like methanol) are added to make them unfit for consumption. Rubbing alcohol is typically isopropyl alcohol or denatured ethanol, often with a higher concentration of water.

Can this product be used for thinning paint?

While it can dissolve some paints and varnishes, it's not a primary paint thinner. Specific thinners are usually recommended for different paint types. It is more effective for cleaning brushes and tools after use.

Troubleshooting

Product not burning cleanly in a lamp/stove.

Ensure the methylated spirits are not contaminated and that the appliance is functioning correctly and designed for this type of fuel. Check for proper wick or burner maintenance.

Residue left after cleaning.

Wipe the surface with a clean, dry cloth immediately after application. For stubborn residues, a second application might be necessary, followed by immediate wiping.

Container lid is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the cap area is clean and dry. If sticky, gently clean around the rim with a damp cloth. Ensure the cap is aligned properly before closing.

Unpleasant odor persists after use.

Ensure the area is well-ventilated during and after use. The odor is characteristic of methylated spirits and will dissipate over time. Open windows and use fans if necessary.
