The ultimate cleaning with vodka guide

As human beings, we always try to keep ourselves neat and clean. Home accessories or places like furniture, tiles, washroom mattress, cooking place, or other things should be cleaned regularly because the germs and other harmful substances spread mostly from these things or places.

For cleaning, we mostly use detergent or other synthetic materials which is extremely harmful to us especially for the children. So, we should focus on something natural, environmentally friendly, and less harmful to our health.

The ultimate cleaning with vodka guide

Vodka is such a kind of thing resulting beyond our expectations. In this article, we are going to show you the effective use of cleaning with vodka and the effectiveness between isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and vodka (ethyl alcohol or ethanol)

The difference between isopropyl alcohol and vodka or Ethanol     

There is a difference between isopropyl alcohol and ethanol. Isopropyl alcohol also called isopropanol is a widely used disinfectant in hospitals, medical device manufacturing companies, pharmaceuticals, clean rooms, etc. It possesses disinfection properties to clean various things.

The cleaning solution can be made holding 60% and 90% isopropyl alcohol and 10%-40% pure water. It works better against viruses, bacteria, and fungi. But when alcohol pours below 50% its effectiveness for disinfection lessens dramatically. The absence of water can be a big factor to abolish the growth of microorganisms. When isopropyl alcohol mixed with water it works as rubbing alcohol.

On the other hand, ethanol also possessed the same structure but their chemical structure makes them different. You can drink ethanol alcohol and keep them in your home as a drink, like vodka, whiskey, etc. You can be drunk by ingesting ethanol, but when you drink isopropyl alcohol you will surely be sick. You can easily use ethanol or vodka as antiseptic and it can be your natural disinfectants. Both ethanol and isopropyl alcohol must be mixed with water to use it as a cleaner.

You must make a solution of 65%-95% alcohol taking either isopropyl or ethyl alcohol to make effective sanitizer suggested by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
