Most
people keep rubbing alcohol in their bathroom and use it as a disinfectant for
cuts or as a sterilizer for things like tweezers. But there are other great
household uses, too. We asked Linda Cobb, a.k.a. "The Queen of Clean"
and author of the best-selling book Talking Dirty With the Queen of Clean, for her favorite
tricks. Rubbing alcohol can be a very effective cleaner, says Cobb, but not for
everything.
Though
commonly touted on the web to do everything from clean makeup brushes to soothe
a sunburn, Cobb says it can dry out both your brushes and skin, so steer clear.
What
is rubbing alcohol great for? These 10 things:
1.
All-purpose stain remover
Combined
with water, rubbing alcohol can be a great spot remover that works on a wide
variety of stains from ink to coffee, says Cobb. Combine one part rubbing
alcohol with two-parts water to make the spotter. If you use a large spray
bottle you can add one bottle of alcohol and two of the alcohol bottles filled
with water. Spray this on spots and spills. Wait a few minutes, then launder as
usual.
