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
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.
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
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"
I heard that the 70% actually killed bacteria more quickly because the cells can more easily absorb in the alcohol with that amount of water. That it is the fasting killing ratio between the two. 91% requires a longer contact time for the same level of disinfecting as the cells are more resistant to it. Even harder with the faster evaporation time. I guess you would want 91% if you intended on mixing it with other ingredients that also contain water. I just use it for cleaning not disinfecting.
@@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

I use this method as well, it saves me tons of money in the long run
so should i use 91% to clean out my bubbler???
The salt doesn’t increase the level of alcohol percentage?
@@gasturret7600and some salt yeah
pro tip: stop using that crap

Very informative! Thanks so much! ♡
you are welcome!

Also, 91% is useful for dipping metal or plastics you want to use later, like a two minute dip. Then take the item out for the rapid dry.

I would say yes since you are diluting the rubbing alcohol with even more water 91% would be better than 70%. 🙂
@@CleanWithConfidence thank you
@@CleanWithConfidence- This answer is confusing. You say “yes” that she’s using the correct one, but then tell her that 91 is better than 70. 🤯
That homemade floor cleaner has alcohol in it to kill germs and to dry faster to prevent spotting. Use 91% for a spot free floor.

sounds exotic!
And thank you for getting to the point.

Very nice brother
You can still desinfect with 91% you just need alot more of it to keep it wet but yes 70% is better. 91% also used for injection sites
Also better than raid.
which is best for derma roller?
im thinking of buying ethyl or isopropyl 90% to use for cleaning my phone screen
Please make a video on where to buy them
Wal-Mart or most any store sells rubbing alcohol🙂

Now I need to know how degrading de 91% alcohol to 70% alcohol. Can you help me?
@@rvicmary I am not understanding your question.
@CleanWithConfidence I need to know how to degrade a 91% alcohol to a 70%.
@@rvicmary gotcha. You can’t, you would just buy a different bottle that is 70 instead of 91👍
21%
Lol 1 minute and someone beat me to the joke
Now if you show me how to open it I’ll be happy , there is no any instructions about it on the plastic bottle. Thank you
w explanation
Just add some water to your 91% to bring it to 70%.
Well, I’ll be damned. Thank you! 👍

nah
Alcohol likes to bond with water, water likes to bond with everything. So 70% cleans better than 91% for picking up dust and tiny debris
plain water actually doesn't clean well at all because it beads up on a surface. That's why cleaning supplies use surfactants.

Awesome video! Is there 100% isopropyl alcohol? If not, why not?
Yes, if you remove the water you have 100% isopropyl alcohol. Not sure if they sell 100% though?
Really flammable???@@CleanWithConfidence
99% is the highest I've seen to buy normally. For electronics etc. The difference is probably to account for traces that are hard to remove.
