samtab Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) hello, Back home since 50 years they use alcohol fuel to clean office desks (alcohol + methanol) I don't know why they used this alcohol, but i guess that it's because it is cheap ? Do you know if it can be found in Thailand or what is the cheapest alcohol that we can find here (we need a lot). Thank you.

AndyAndyAndy Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 For stuff like I'm using Acetone. You can buy it locally or even on the internet. For example Lazada.co.th has some around 1 liter / 200 Baht. It's 99%. You can mix it with water to make weaker solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acetone is nail polish remover and could seriously damage office furniture or any plastic objects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'd just use the regular "rubbing alcohol", it's isopropanol and water so pretty safe on most surfaces and humans. Are you looking for cleaning or sanitising or both? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malt25 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Depending what you are trying to clean off the desks... plain vinegar does a good job & is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you looking for cleaning or sanitising or both? I've been looking for IPA for a decent price for a long time now. They have jacked up the price since Covid 19 reared its ugly head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaleySabai Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 For disinfectant purposes, there is always the good old fashion and very cheap 'bleach'. The brand name is Haiter Bleach,but doesn't say "bleach" on the front of the bottle so could be easily overlooked.This product has been treated to remove the strong bleach smell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Quote toxic methanol, also known as wood alcohol. It can cause blindness and death if ingested. “Methanol can dehydrate the skin, causing dry skin, and can result in dermatitis to the affected region. Do not use where there could be any contact with skin - it can be absorbed as well as ingested. There are current issues with some hand sanitizers taking this cheap path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
