Alcohol is a universal solvent, but Listerine "Kills germs dead" (their marketing slogan). Actually, I use Mint Listerine. I get compliments how good the mic tastes & smells. But after a while, I have to take the windscreens off & clean them with soap & water to get rid of the residue Listerine leaves behind. -Denny

It's used to disnfect prior to injections. A water rinse first probably doesn't hurt. Did the Cramps back in the old punk days- asshloe Lux the vocalist kept sticking a 58 in his mouth and pulling it out , with associated flying spittle. Monitor cleanup was necessary too.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, National Science Teachers Association ~ states on this web page: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/a2z-b.html ___________ FAQ Some people say that alcohol or vinegar can kill bacteria. Is this true? Yes, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol and vinegar, which is an acetic acid, do kill bacteria. Ethanol alcohol at 70% is more effective at killing bacteria than at 90 to 100% because the alcohol gets inside the cell better. Isopropyl alcohol is even more effective at killing bacteria because it is less volatile. While alcohol is a good disinfectant for inactivating many bacteria, it will not inactivate bacterial spores that are resistant. At acidic pH levels, many bacteria are inactivated by vinegar (acetic acid). ____________ -Denny

Phildo, smart people don't look to general interest dictionaries for all-encompassing definitions of technical words. Here's a mind teaser for you, Phildo. I have a filter that provides 3 dB of boost in a 1 octave band around 1 kHz. What is removed? |
