This solvent is a top-notch degreaser as well as an antiseptic agent. When mixed with water and a touch of detergent, alcohol does a fine job of cleaning tobacco-smoke film off windows, mirrors and video screens. Alcohol is also good at removing adhesive residue, which is resistant to plain water or general-purpose cleaners. Use denatured alcohol or isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol for cleaning purposes; check rubbing alcohol before use to make sure it contains no dye or perfume.
