# 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Overview 70% isopropyl alcohol is a common disinfectant that kills germs on your skin and surfaces. People use it to clean minor cuts and scrapes, prepare skin before injections, and sanitize wounds. You can find it in pharmacies and grocery stores as a liquid that you apply directly to the affected area. It works quickly to destroy bacteria and viruses that can cause infections. When using this product, it's important to follow safety rules to protect yourself and others. Keep it away from children and pets since it can be harmful if swallowed. Don't use it on large wounds or deep cuts—save those for a doctor. Avoid getting it in your eyes or mouth, and don't swallow it under any circumstances. If you have sensitive skin or allergies to alcohol, talk to your doctor before using it. Stop using the product if you notice a rash or irritation, and wash the area with water if needed.
