Rubbing alcohol is relatively cheap, readily available, and has many household uses. A couple of useful tips for rubbing alcohol — as a hand sanitizer and as a glass cleaner. This is a very efficient way to solve both of these everyday chores.

First, as a hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol is extremely practical and effective. It is widely used for cleansing surgeons’ hands and instruments and for the disinfection of skin prior to penetration by a hypodermic needle. As an antiseptic, it is good against vegetative bacteria and fair against fungi and viruses.

So, if it is used by surgeons then it must undoubtedly work for ordinary folks at home.

Secondly, rubbing alcohol works great as an eyeglass cleaner. Here’s what I did to make it work for me. I bought a small, glass bottle of eyeglass spray — something like Purosol All Natural Lens Cleaner 2oz.

By the way, the Purosol cleaner works well on photography equipment as well. Those that have expensive eyeglasses may consider using this cleaner. Many swear by it.

I used the commercial spray on my eyeglasses. After I used all of the commercial spray, I then started to fill up the tiny bottle with rubbing alcohol. This worked well for me, because rubbing alcohol is cheap and is quite convenient.
