Rubbing Alcohol- The Underutilized Disinfectant

Rubbing Alcohol is my favorite disinfectant in our home.  me, the clean freak and my husband the germaphobe -just kidding, but sometimes I wouldn't put it past him :) 

We use it ALL of the time- its works great on most any surface, is cheap, and chemical free.   It sits right next to my kitchen sink so its always handy.

Being in the middle of cold and flu season I thought I'd share my love for this inexpensive, underutilized home disinfectant.

Home Uses:

Granite Countertops  I find that my granite cleaners don't disinfect.  Great to use especially when working with raw meat, eggs, etc.

Knives After cutting raw meat, give them a little squirt then wash as you normally would.

Cell Phone Because I find my phone in my infants mouth, I try to remember to wipe down my phone daily.

Binky/ Teething Toys  I give them a little squirt before rinsing them VERY well.

Tooth Brushes and Razors  Helps prevent the spread of bacteria. Rinse well before using.
