minus-squareBallsandBayonets@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up23·27 days agoThat’s actually exactly why it’s a bad cleaning agent, at least for sterilization purposes. It evaporates before it can kill any microbes.
minus-squareDaxtron2linkfedilinkarrow-up21·27 days agoYeah if you’re using high percentage isopropanol it’s less effective. I think the current recommendation is 70% for sterilization purposes as it remains in contact longer. Higher percentages is more for its use as a solvent or cleaning electronics.

minus-squareLarmyOfLone@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·27 days agoYeah or something with hydrophilic properties with the water help destroy microbes. I love reading about chemistry but keep forgetting.
