Can’t find 70% iso anywhere so I bought something else

Local distillery is selling bottles of 80% alcohol. Y’all think this will be less effective than 70% iso? Hope not because I bought a gallon. Hell of a steal if it does work, though!

Using the search bar and google searching, I couldn’t find any comparison of the two nor could I find the effectiveness of 160 proof alcohol as a disinfectant.

My question is if it’s a viable replacement and if it will work as well as the standard 70% iso.

What you  have is 80% alcohol.

Its gonna work better than 50% iso and prob at least close to 70% iso if not better. Your just trying to hit bacteria  right? On non-pourous surfaces. Iso isnt going to do much in regard to mold spores or competitor fungal spores like trich.

Apples and oranges but you dont see hospitals or even janitorial services using alcohol to clean with. Sure, maybe a skin wipe to rid an injection site of bacteria but thats about it.

Sterile technique supersedes solvents and disinfectants everytime.

I normally use iso to wipe down my hands and jars/etc before putting them in my SAB. I use 10:1 water bleach solution to spray down SAB, though.
