7.It Can Ease an Ear Infection
Mix a 1-to-1 solution of rubbing alcohol and white vinegar. Pour a little into each ear, then let it drain out. The mixture helps to restore your ear’s pH levels after an ear infection and dry them out after a long day at the pool.
8.It Disinfects (Most) Things
You can mix a 50/50 solution of water and rubbing alcohol to disinfect your hard-surface countertops, like granite and quartz. Hospitals also sometimes use alcohol towelettes to get rid of germs on small surfaces like stethoscopes, scissors, and thermometers. Experts don’t recommend using rubbing alcohol to sterilize medical and surgical equipment because it can’t kill bacterial spores, which can lead to infection.
