Sterilizing with Heat or Fire, versus wiping with alcohol (needle and others)

All teks, every ware, recommend using heat. Burning the needle, heating the foil, etc? Can I use cotton and alcohol to sterilize the needle after every inoculation instead of burning it? It is pretty difficult to burn anything in an airtight glovebox, and dangerous if you sprayed Lysol on it. I feel fire is just so dirty imperfect process that I wish I could clean everything inside the glovebox with alcohol. Nobody mentions alcohol, is there anything wrong with it? Can I clean with alcohol the foil that I?m going to use for the jars?

Alcohol burner can be a cumbersome pain in the glove box, can't recall the last time I used mine for anything really. Plus, no one wants dirty burned needles like you mentioned.
Alchohol + a paper towel is all you need to sterilize between inoculation points - keep the needle covered in alcohol soaked paper towel between shoots.

jep.
but for initial sterilisation, before you can swab it, you shall flame it till glowing red because alcohol cannot kill any contams that may be lurking in the inside of the needle waiting to grow.
by flaming it, you also toast these guys. peace ohm

I wipe my syringe with 99.99% Germ killing Hand Sanitizer from any grocery or pharmacy store. Works everytime.
I also suggest Lysol Anti-Bacterial wet wipes. They sterilize shit good too.
IMHO, Flame sterilizing is a waste of time.

Dunno if this helps but.. After sterilizing, I fill my syringe cap with h-peroxide before snapping it back on.. it hasnt hurt any of my spore syringes yet

MycoJunkie : That sound great, and so commutable, but I?m always afraid Lysol will hurt the spores. The ideal could be if one could wipe the needle and the lid with Lysol like substance, can this be done wit no risk? Also, can you give me more detail of how you do it? The soap you mention, is it liquid or bar soap? Which one do you use and what do you use to wipe things? tissue or something? Does any one else does this? Thank you all for your imputs, it has really help Clarify lots of doubts
