Is this the Australian woman? She's doing good work. She's actually doing the things suggested as they are shown, and they really don't work. The best one has to be the sneaker whitening one where you can see the sizes printed on the before and after - and they're different.

Food Science degree from a school I consider pretty respectable, so that's why I don't question others with that title.

Uh quote:The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has stated that hand sanitizer made up of 70 percent isopropyl or rubbing alcohol will kill most pathogens, including Covid-19. Now I'm no math wiz so I may need help here, but it seems to me if you start with 99% and dilute it 2 parts alcohol to 1 part water, the result is going to be ~66%. And 66 is less than 70?!?  Hand non-sanitizer.

Yeah, I think the magic number to kill germs is around 60%. 70% is just a standard concentration that, in a saner world, would be readily available on the shelves of every grocery store and pharmacy in the world. 99% is available in some places but costs more.

And 66 is less than 70?!? Volumetric measurements are super hard to do reliably without calibrated lab equipment. I'd wager that attempting an odd ratio like 7:3 would be substantially less accurate than a simple 1:2 ratio. Going by mass would be better but Americans are allergic to good ideas that other people use (see also: the metric system). Addmitedly then we get into weird issues of w/w and w/v measurements, fortunately I have a concise 70 slide powerpoint on exactly this topic

Hmm... if this is true, then disinfecting foodstuffs with cask strength single malt scotch whisky should be a great idea.

The thing is time. 99% evaporates faster, so it may not have time to work. If you, say, put it in a zip lock bag and let whatever stew in that it will definitely work. As for drinkable stuff, 151 rum is the closest you'll get to 70%. Most liquors are well under 50%. So give it a shot or two. What have you got to lose? (Just don't inject it)

cyberbug posted:What, is 99% really significantly worse at killing germs than 60 or 70%? Highest commercially available (and tasty!) I've got is a 68% cognac, but $230 a bottle is a bit steep for sanitizer. I'll have to go with the 87% absinthe, then. Inside and out.

% or proof? Proof is half the percentage, so an 80 proof liquor is only 40%. 87% (174 proof) seems awfully high for any liqueur.

That's why you get grain alcohol. Just forget about taste and get the highest proof you can at the lowest price.

If you can get it. My state and the ones around it limit proof to 151. But I did pick up a gallon of 190 Everclear on vacation last summer.
