Besides the usual usage of cleaning out cuts, here are some things you might not have thought of:

Mix the alcohol with a bit of water, and use a cotton ball to clean the screen of your laptop or touch-screen phone.

Use the alcohol with a cotton ball to remove makeup. (dilute it a but if it makes your skin too dry) - and always apply lotion afterward.  I’ve even used this to remove the sticky Band-Aid residue left over.

Remove stickiness from things! When you purchase a frame with a sticker on the glass - the alcohol will get the stickiness off.

Wipe down your remotes, phones, and anything else with alcohol to kill all germs.  (Purel is just 62% isopropyl alcohol)

Clean your eyeglasses with diluted alcohol.  We have that expensive Pearl Vision spray stuff…. but looking at the ingredients, it’s simply isopropyl alcohol!

Does anyone else have any interesting uses for things we have tucked in our cupboards?  I’ve tried hydrogen peroxide as a mouth rinse (I think I had a cut in my mouth) - and boy did it get really foamy!  It was very weird.
