Rubbing alcohol is a great general purpose cleaner. You can use it on its own to clean electronics and lenses or dilute it with water and use it to disinfect surfaces such as the kitchen counter and door handles.<\/p>\n

Since rubbing alcohol contains more than the 60% minimum alcohol content recommended for disinfection, you can also it to make DIY hand sanitiser.<\/p>\n

In this buying guide, we recommend five great rubbing alcohol brands in the UK that you can use around the house, in your hobbies or on the go.<\/p>\n

Key Considerations When Buying Rubbing Alcohol for Cleaning<\/h2>\n

A. Alcohol Content<\/h3>\n

Alcohol content is the most important factor to consider when shopping for rubbing alcohol. The amount of alcohol in the product determines its strength.<\/p>\n

Most rubbing alcohols today have a very high alcohol content, usually 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol. But any rubbing alcohol with an alcohol percentage above 60% is powerful enough to kill germs.<\/p>\n

However, for cleaning stains, gunk and stickers, you\u2019ll find a 99.9% rubbing alcohol to be the most effective.<\/p>\n

B. Dispensing Method<\/h3>\n

We find rubbing alcohol that comes in a spray bottle to be the most convenient to use around the house. It\u2019s easy to apply the right amount on surfaces.<\/p>\n

Rubbing alcohol spray is also easier to apply in hard-to-reach nooks and crannies.<\/p>\n

Rubbing alcohol with a nozzle is also easy to use. You can squirt a small amount on a sponge or piece of cotton wool.<\/p>\n

If you plan to dilute the rubbing alcohol in water, you can get one with a normal bottle top. You can then pour out the exact amount you need.<\/p>\n

C. Odourless<\/h3>\n

Look for a rubbing alcohol that evaporates quickly and doesn\u2019t leave any smells. The alcohol will smell when you are using it, but it should not leave any odours behind on the cleaned surface.<\/p>\n

If you want cleaned surfaces to have a fragrance, we recommend mixing the rubbing alcohol with a few drops of your favourite essential oil.<\/p>\n

D. Childproof<\/h3>\n

You should keep rubbing alcohol where kids and pets cannot reach it. But you can forget or your kid might deploy her genius to reach the rubbing alcohol where you\u2019ve put it.<\/p>\n

For peace of mind, look for a bottle of rubbing alcohol that has a childproof cap. That way, your child cannot open the bottle even if they reach it.<\/p>\n
