What owners like
- Spray format is convenient for quick wipe downs
- Domestic Canadian production and USP grade labelling

Common complaints

What it does
A 500 ml trigger spray bottle of 70% USP grade isopropyl alcohol made in Canada by Rapid Protectant, sold as a ready to use household cleaner.
- Ready to use spray, no mixing or decanting needed
- Quick drying with minimal residue, per the maker
- Refillable bottle with a dip tube that reaches the bottom
- Safety seal on the bottle and recyclable packaging
- Safety data sheet published on the maker's site
A handy pick for anyone who wants rubbing alcohol already in a spray bottle for wiping down hard, nonporous surfaces and tools. The trade-off is that 70% carries more water than 91% or 99% alcohol, so it is not the best choice for sensitive electronics, and a single spray bottle costs more per millilitre than buying bulk and refilling.

Questions
Is 70% or 99% isopropyl alcohol better for cleaning?
70% stays wet on a surface longer because of its water content, while 99% dries very fast and is the usual pick for electronics.
Can 70% isopropyl alcohol be used on granite?
Rapid Protectant says to use it on nonporous surfaces like stainless steel, ceramic, porcelain, quartz and Corian, but not on porous surfaces such as granite.
Is 70% isopropyl alcohol safe for electronics?
It is not the best option for sensitive electronics because of the extra water. A 99% product is the usual choice for circuit boards.
Is isopropyl alcohol flammable?
Yes. Keep the container closed and store it away from heat, sparks and open flame in a ventilated place.
