1. Eliminate Ticks
Many people keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol in the medicine closet. Although many people keep around, few people really know what rubbing alcohol is and how it's used.First things first, it's important to know there's two types of rubbing alcohol. Isopropyl is usually made with a concentration of 70 percent alcohol and very bitter additives that make it taste awful to drink.
Ethyl alcohol is made of 97.5 to 100 percent denatured ethanol, meaning it has been toxic to drink. Rubbing alcohol is typically used as a disinfectant, but it also has many other benefits you may have not thought of.
Everyone knows that if you get a tick, you have to remove it as soon as possible. It's recommended to dab a bottom ball with rubbing alcohol and rubbing it around the tick.
2. Kill Bedbugs
When the area is well treated, simply use tweezers to remove the sucker.
If you've faced to unfortunate horror of being plagued by bedbugs, then you should fill an empty spray bottle with isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Spray the braiding of the mattress, headboard, and box springs. This typically works because rubbing alcohol kills the bugs upon immediate contact.
3. Deodorize Sneakers
To eliminate the eggs, make sure you spray frequently. Also, make sure the alcohol has dried and the room is ventilated before sleeping on the bed after spraying.
If you have stinky shoes, there's an easy fix for that! Just spray the insides of your shoes with rubbing alcohol.
Then, let the shoes dry overnight and the next day your shoes will smell good as new!
