This might dip into biology a tiny bit... Within the ingredients of said product it says: "Alcohol %96, Isopropyl Alcohol, IPM, Glycerin" etc. It is marketed as a bactericide and hand sanitizer akin to Purel. However why don't they use %62 alcohol like Purel for maximum effect? Can %96 alcohol kill germs as effectively as well?

A quick question about spring cleaning. If one inhales the odor of household bleach (at <%5 but >%4 strength) without dilution, is it harmful? Or is the odor of full strength bleach just benign and yet irritating? thanks P.S. (no mixing with ammonia or the such involved, just straight household bleach)

I recently had bought a disinfectant surface cleaner wet wipes. The ingredients said it was denatured alcohol 70.0, and that the denatured alcohol contained ethanol, methanol and one more methyl based chemical. There were other ingredients as well. I do not know the percentage of methanol within the denatured mixture, but I am supposing the worst case scenario is that it is %50. I used the wipes to clean a tabletop, and my hands were constantly wet and in contact with the wipes. The label itself did not instruct to wear gloves, however it did warn that the wipes were not for, "cleaning skin". I had no percutaneous injuries, or wounds on my hands (other than mildly dry skin), but I wanted to ask experts about whether or not methanol could have gotten in my system? Thank you
