Rubbing alcohol is used by many people as a disinfectant or for adhesive removal. But there are many uses beyond disinfection that most people don’t know about. It can even be used in cosmetics!
1. Get Rid Of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs can be a real problem to get rid of once you get them. But even if you are really careful, they can sneak home with you after vacation or a stay at an unhygienic friend’s house. Thank goodness rubbing alcohol can help kill these nasty pests. Fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and spray it generously over your pillows and mattress. Since bed bugs lay eggs, it’s important to repeat this process several times to completely get rid of them.

2. Deodorant Replacement
If you forgot your deodorant at home while you are away for the weekend, there is no need to panic. Rubbing alcohol kills the bacteria that causes bad body odor and is easy to find in every first-aid kit. But make sure you only use this temporarily, because long exposure to alcohol can irritate the skin.
