I would also add that since the 70% has more water added to it by which allows the alcohol to penetrate deeper due to the fact it sits on the surface longer before drying, versus the 91% has less water and therefore evaporates quickly, you’d want to use the higher percentage alcohol when cleaning electronics. For instance, let’s say you have a laptop and you don’t want water penetrating into the air vents, speaker, or the keyboard - because you could get water damage, so you opt to use the 91% instead.
Glad you shared this information. I’ve been buying 91 % isopropyl alcohol (IA) to clean my bong and realized it was the best solution to use vs the 70% IA. 91% + Himalayan salt or course salt cleans them out even better. Don’t need to buy any solutions but use these two ingredients. Thanks again! 👍
Viewing this video because I'm on Walgreens website trying to buy some isopropyl alcohol. Was thinking 91% was better, but for some reason, it's not FSA eligible, while the 70% is. This is good info, thanks
3:11 we use an alcoholic chlorhexidine solution on our stethoscopes. It does not evaporate super quickly tho, so if we spray too much we will use dry it up with a gauze
Also 91% Isopropyl Alcohol is the best way to clean electronics internals, chips, PC components, thermal paste and electronic connections like HDMI and USB Type A and Type C.
I always wondered about that. I make a homemade disinfectant cleaner where I mix alcohol and water in a spray bottle, and then add a little squirt of dish soap. The alcohol I use is 70%. So if I'm understanding you correctly I am using the right one
Today I cleaned my scooty with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Whatever stubborn stains were there like mud or pigeon's poop, they all got cleaned very well. All stains removed permanently.
Another reason for these percentages is that for example physical practitioners use 91% to actually have a consistent flame in case they need to use it for specific reasons or treatment for example "fire cupping"
@@CleanWithConfidence if you have distilled water, you can submerge your computer in it and it will not conduct electricity, keep it cool and everything will function perfectly. If you drop a phone in the toilet, and run distilled water over it, that will remove all the impurities and the device will work again. Your wrong 100% about absolute (distilled) water beading up. It will bead up, it will leave 0 residue behind. It is used by me and my son to clean monitors and it leaves 0 streaks, it cleans better than any cleaner. Know a little actual science and you can do much more with less.
A dude from Microsoft in Seattle told us if you drop your electronics (cell phone etc) in water to dump it in or dround it w alcohol saying that will evaporate the water drying it up. Are you saying distilled water does this also? & wich one is better if just trying to dry and not clean dust etc Also the monitors you mention are they the same as these new flat screen TVs that we're not suppose to cean wet rang only dry micro fiber...can we douse the rag w distilled Agua and clean away sir?
@dale5702 distilled water will bond with all impurities and pull in off the electronics. When it dries it leaves 0 resudue. Still takes longer to evaporate but it's non conductive and cheaper. It's safe for all electronics, just don't drink it, it's disgusting. It's also why it's used in cpap machines
