Rubbing Alcohol Hacks That’ll Change Your Life

By Zoe Jewell

Ice Pack in a Pinch

Stop buying ice packs at the store or filling up a bag full of ice, only to have it melt 20 minutes later. You can actually make an ice pack at home with just a little bit of rubbing alcohol and water.

Put about ⅓ cup of rubbing alcohol and ⅔ cup of water into a Ziplock bag and freeze it. Since there’s alcohol in the bag it won’t freeze, so the mixture can cover the area of your body that’s in pain.

Remove Permanent Marker

I have gotten permanent marker stains on everything. From a white t-shirt to my couch to even my bedsheets, it certainly feels like there’s nothing you can do when you get a permanent marker on something.

But, if you have a little rubbing alcohol, you may be able to get it out. Just put a little of the alcohol on the stain and then use a clean rag to rub it out. The stain should come right out! Just do your best to take care of the stain ASAP, rather than wait too long.

Clean Carpets

Along with cleaning laminate floors and removing permanent marker stains out of fabric, rubbing alcohol can also remove stubborn grease stains from your carpet!

That’s right — if you have an annoying stain on your carpet that you just can’t seem to get out, give the rubbing alcohol a try. Like the above slides, simply apply a bit of the alcohol to the stain and use a rag to gently scrub the area. You may have to do this a few times to get the stain out completely.

Air Freshener at Home

There are few things better than coming home to a house that smells fresh and clean. But, instead of splurging on air fresheners for your entire house, just make your own spray at home instead!

All you need is water, a few tablespoons of rubbing alcohol, and about 10 drops of your favorite essential oil. Mix it all together, put it in a spray bottle, and you’re good to go! You can even spray your furniture if you want it to smell nice too.

Take Off the Grease

Cooking grease is meant to stay inside the pan when on the stove, but it does end up around the stovetop from time to time. In fact, it’s very normal for there to be grease on the backsplash and the hood of the stove, but the most important thing is that it’s removed quickly.

If grease stays on the stove for too long it will build up and ultimately become very hard to remove. So, once you’re finished cooking, grab your rubbing alcohol and use a rag to remove it.
