Good price for isopropyl alcohol if you need some. If you already have other items to get to the $50 min spend, price for single bottle will be $15.64 after PLENTY10 coupon.

For best value get 3 to trigger $5 off, so $52.14-$5 * 0.9 = $42.43 — EDIT as mentioned here the seller $5 off actually brings total to $47.13 which is below min spend if you have nothing else in cart. To get over min spend you could buy something related such as microfibre cloth, iphone repair kit or cable ties etc as long as item is worth $2.87 or more.

Use cashrewards or shopback for additional discount, as well as ebay gift cards purchased at discount (if you can manage this - i have had no problems buying with 5% off egiftcards)

PLENTY10 10% off coupon expires 16/09/2018 11.59pm AEST, however if purchasing after this can use PLUG5 for 5% off, which expires later on 30/09/2018.

Previous deals for ispropyl alcohol were June ($10ea) and July ($19.95ea)

    This stuff is NOT ethanol, the type of alcohol you drink. It's propanol, it is poisonous if consumed.

    "Alcohol" refers to a class of chemicals, including methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and many others. ONLY ETHANOL is suitable for drinking.

    "Isopropyl alcohol" is also called propanol, propan-2-ol, IPA, "rubbing alcohol" and a heap of other names too. If you are foolish enough to drink it, your body will convert it into acetone - nail polish remover. At the hospital emergency department, they often use the distinctive smell to aid in the diagnosis of your poisoning.

      It's an industrial cleaner, use it for anything you'd use metho to clean. It's a little better than metho, it doesn't seem to evaporate as quickly, and metho can leave behind white powder when it dries, depending on what the denaturant is.

        there are some studies showing anti-microbial properties best around the 60-70% ish mark as i recall, any higher and the alcohol dries to quickly, and also doesn't allow for cell wall penetration or something like that. i did read a study, but going off old memory here. we mix ~60% IA, 20% vinegar,20% water, is great for streak free cleaning and disinfecting, esp on our white laminate counters

      • MrDixit on 16/09/2018 - 19:28

        I've never done it, I think you'd need purified or distilled water, and then I'm not sure what kind of shelf life it'd have after mixing it. I guess if you are disinfecting stuff you are probably being pretty paranoid to bother doing it at all, and then you've got to ask yourself whether saving money by mixing it up yourself is really worth it. Eg if you end up accidentally introducing contaminants that make it less effective.

        I dunno.

    • noshopping on 16/09/2018 - 16:53

      true.. you don't want anything higher than 70% for cleaning germs, so this is only good for cleaning equipment/stickers, etc…

      "A 50% isopropyl alcohol solution kills Staphylococcus Aureus in less than 10 seconds, yet a 90% solution with a contact time of over two hours is ineffective. Some disinfectants will kill spores with exposures times that exceed 3-12 hours, which are classified as chemical sterilants."

    Right now just using soap and dishwashing liquid to clean kitchen surfaces and keyboard/mice/peripherals but also looking for the best answer or more tips regarding this.

    Dinner table has a plastic clear table cloth or protector so wipes easy.

    Kitchen surfaces are both wood near the bread station and cheap vinyl that looks like fake marble near the gas stove.

    Taking recommendations or maybe I will buy 1L of this and try it out.

    Also wondering if I should use this for the toilet seats and sinks or something else.

    Totally clueless on cleaning to be honest and looking for best practices or recommendations but cheap and expensive options.

    Housemates sometimes burn incense around the house so also wondering about storage and safety around semi open flames or charred particles, nothing like leaving 5L of flammable liquid near your carpet near a burning incense flame to really brighten the mood haha lol.. ok I will stop.
