Description
First Aid to Help Prevent the Risk of Infection in Minor Cuts, Scrapes and Burns.
Common uses for Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol 70% 16oz include:
- Disinfecting tick bites: People can use tweezers to remove a tick carefully from the skin. Following its removal, they can use rubbing alcohol to disinfect the bite. They should apply rubbing alcohol to a cotton swab and dab it onto the area where the tick had attached itself.
- Caring for pierced ears: According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), people can use rubbing alcohol to help clean the skin around new ear piercings. To do this, a person should dip a cotton ball or pad into the rubbing alcohol. They should then gently wipe it around the piercing on the front and back of the ear. People should clean the piercing twice a day to help prevent bacterial infections and scabbing. It is important to note that some experts disagree with this advice, recommending that people avoid using rubbing alcohol because it might slow the healing process.
- Reducing body odor: Rubbing alcohol can help kill odor-causing bacteria. A person can apply rubbing alcohol under the armpits to help eliminate body odors. However, they should avoid applying rubbing alcohol soon after shaving, as this will cause stinging.
- Deodorizing shoes: Shoes can develop a strong odor, particularly if a person wears them while exercising or doing other physical activity. Spraying the insoles of the shoes with rubbing alcohol can help eliminate odor-causing bacteria. A person should fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and use this to spray the insides of the shoes. Leaving the shoes in the sun will help dry them out.
- Creating homemade room deodorizer: It is possible to make a room deodorizer by pouring rubbing alcohol into a spray bottle and adding a few drops of an essential oil. A person can then spray the mixture around the room to help mask unpleasant odors.
- Creating homemade ice packs: By mixing water and rubbing alcohol, a person can create a reusable and malleable homemade ice pack. They can follow these steps: Fill a sealable freezer bag with 2 cups of water and 1 cup of 70% rubbing alcohol. Push as much air out as possible, and seal the bag. Place the filled bag inside another freezer bag, pushing out as much air as possible before sealing it. Freeze for several hours. Once the ice pack is ready, people can apply it to sore muscles or joints to relieve pain and inflammation.
