Since when? LMAO



Ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, propanol, butanol and even pentanol are 100% misible in water (meaning they mix and do not separate out). Not only that, but a 50% alcohol solution (100 proof) is not incredibly flamable (just a bit). Even 100% ethanol doesn't burn very hot/fast compared to other solvents such as hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, etc.



As for using alcohol as a cleaning agent...as long as you wipe it down well it should work fine. Isopropanol has a quite high vapour pressure...meaning that it evaporates fast.



Here's my point:



Disinfectants kill things, they rupture cells...the stronger they are, the better they will work. Chlorhexidine gluconate, if used properly can work well...but the key is to make sure to give it time to work. Unlike bleach or an alcohol solution, Nolvasan (in the concentrations normally used) needs a much longer time to properly disinfect something.
